I'm Australian born sociologist, author & #travelwriter who's been living in #Istanbul, #Turkey more than 15 years. I love dogs, red wine & travel but hate dairy. Note, ice cream is different food type. See more about Turkey & my writing at insideoutinistanbul.com

Having #surgery in #Turkey is much like elsewhere. #expatlife #livinginturkey #lisamorrowwriter You see a specialist, look for the morgue, then get checked over by an anaesthetist. Wait, I hear you say, the morgue? Find out the whole story here ... instagram.com/p/DZfQiFPDLg-/…

I don't think @Samsung #customerservice wants to help people. They haven't answered this tweet & samsung websites are like Nietzschean eternal recurrence, going round & round with no possibility of getting help becuse there isn't an option as the question below. Can anyone help?
I bought a Samsung MS23K3513 microwave oven. The window has some kind of black contact on it so it's almost impossible to see what's in the oven. Instruction manual makes no mention of this. Do I remove the contact & if yes, how? @Samsung #customerservice

Murdering bastards! An Israeli soldier shot and killed a 7 month of baby boy then lied about the reason. #israeliwarcrimes #idfwarcrimes #freepalestine #IsraelisaTerroristsState How long do we have to watch the extermination of a people?

The stairwell in #isbankpaintingandsculpturemuseum deserves almost as much attention as the artwork on display! #işsanat #lisamorrowwriter #istiklalcaddesi #issanat

There are many famous #Turkishpoets but none more loved I think than #NazimHikmet. "The words I haven't said yet" has been 1 of my biggest inspirations. #nazımhikmetran Read all about #nazimhikmetran on #InsideOutInIstanbul. Here’s the link insideoutinistanbul.com/nazi…

This is such a bad look for #turkishtourism. Yerebatan cistern was shut down due to change of managemet from Istanbul Municipal Council (local) to General Directorate of Foundations (state), during business hours while tourists with tickets were inside & others waiting to enter.

📌Yerebatan Sarnıcı, turistler ziyaret için kapıda sıra beklerken tahliye edildi.
İBB'nin kendi gişeleri söktüğü sarnıç, Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü'nün kendi gişelerini kuracağı zamana kadar kapalı olacak.
Öte yandan sarnıcın boşaltılma anı da, kameralara yansıdı.

There aren’t many #australiansinturkey so I was surprised when I saw this marble finial in #Istanbul, with map of Australia taking pride of place. #expatlife #lisamorrowwriter I think blob that's meant to be NZ above QLD & NT looks like kangaroo in full stride. What about you?
