Clients

Much like in Ankara, my clients in Izmir are very educated and worldly. It's not unordinary to have a conversation like "Oh you are from San Diego? I got my MBA at Stanford." The clients here know English even better than in Ankara so the day to day struggle of being understood is almost erased. They know English so well they can't even be confused by some of my best colloquialisms and believe me, I've tried. Even some of the most elusive sayings that had heads spinning in Ankara like "bend your knees" or "come on to your heels" are child's play in Izmir.
