Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present: violations, emotions, elections-fifth week
Stupid people will always make jokes on those who maybe know their mother tongue less, and by doing it at the same time they would feel a privilege on you.
This is exactly what happens to me at the kindergarten. Teacher's assistant were making jokes on the way I speak Turkish, then I stopped it by saying that it is incorrect, and I was quite polite with her, and I thought I could prevent it, but not. Now she found the way how to make other jokes or even make orders to me, on what I should do, and how I should do. You might not understand it, but whenever a stranger gets into the working sphere, especially in a conservative place, where most of people haven't seen other people except of their own, they try to do bad things and jokes on the way how this foreigner acts or speaks by feeling themselves very powerful. But in my case it doesn't work, I usually express my thoughts directly to a jokes maker. And still I have really bad feeling after that situation which happened to me. Usually these kind of people talk to you, or even they do not talk, and think that you will not understand them either. Their behavior towards a foreigner is disrespectful, they don't want to loose their time to make you understand something, and they appeal that a person doesn't know the language and simply wave their hands or ask anybody else to explain you the issue, but in the reality you might know the language. This is what happens to me in the kindergarten. I love children there, because they understand me, when I talk and they usually can explain me everything, but form now on I just don't want to see those kind of assistants...
Those people might be uneducated and they do not know any of the languages except of their own mother tongue. And I cannot understand how these people upbring children in the kindergarten. I see the way they act and their behavior with children, and I feel sorry for those kids and their parents. In any other cases, if the similar situation will be repeated, I will probable show my aggression and try to put everything in order that person could be fired.
Anyway, my advise to those who are going to work at the companies in conservative places, to prevent such kind of situations immediately and solve the problem with your bosses.
Last week was interesting indeed. It was very emotional, because now I feel that I miss my motherland Crimea, and the Presidential elections were held in Ukraine on Sunday, 25th of May.
Central Election Commission has announced that the Ukrainian confectionery tycoon Petro Poroshenko has been elected president of Ukraine. And there is no need to hold the second round of the presidential election in Ukraine. Mr Poroshenko, the 48-year-old businessman, known as the "chocolate king", won more than 55% of the vote in the first round, exit polls suggest.
I'm not going to comment or analyze how Mr Poroshenko won the elections, I just want the Ukrainian government to act by solving all the unstable situation in the Eastern part of Ukraine and to back Crimea to its territory. I just want to believe in it, as many Ukrainian citizens do, but still there are many people who criticize a new-elected President.
We will see in the future what will happen, but for now a real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present. I try to follow this quote.
Also I have bad news: one of the persons whom I knew was killed. He was a Human Rights activist, defender, journalist and translator. His name is Andrey Mironov.
I knew Andrey Mironov at the period when we were working together in Crimea from late February, 2014. He was translating for the journalist from the Washington Post. I was working with an Italian journalist. We met at the place where all journalists were living (I don’t want to write the name of a place) in Akmescit, covering all the events took part at the period of occupation of Crimea.
I remember as I asked him what is he going to do after Crimea, because to that period in the end of March it was quite and Russia has already occupied Crimea, so for journalists there was nothing to write about. And he said that he will go to Donetsk – East of Ukraine, after Crimea, Donetsk became very unstable with the separatists. I have no words to express myself… It is very hard to realize that someone you knew was killed. Because it simply could happen to me, but I'm in another city, in another country now. I express my condolences to family of Andrey Mironov.
Something positive should be in this post as well, I think.
This period of time is good for mulberries. Me and my mentor Huseyin gathered mulberries in the park area of mosque, which belongs to the local municipality. The guard of mosque has politely invited us to gather mulberries in the park, as he has seen we gather them on the walking area. There are so nice people indeed.
Stay tuned.

Delicious mulberries. Enjoy ;) and they are so healthy and highly recommended to eat for those with heart diseases.
