Will someone from Istanbul organize it? Jun 19, 2017

Merhaba!
I' currently in Istanbul, but I'm leaving in a couple of days! I'll be back in about month and a half, and I would like to meet my colleagues from Istanbul! I'm not quite sure if the date is appropriate. I would like someone from the city to organize and propose a nice place for a Powwow, where we could meet each other and talk about our job as a translators!

My apologies! Jun 20, 2017

I've just received (five minutes ago) an email from Optima Express changing the date of my travel from Austria to Turkey! It seems that I will be arriving to Edirne on August 14th... And I really want to visit/enjoy Edirne...

I keep you updated! I'm really upset!

What about Saturday 19th August.. or some day during the week?
I bought the train ticket to Edirne on April!...

I really appreciate it! I'll keep you posted with my availability, as I've just received a message from Optima Express changing the timetable! And frequency of those trains is not good at all!

Revised dates... Jul 3, 2017

Dear Colleagues

Optima Express, the train company that I've booked to take me to Turkey changed the dates of my travel. Now I will arrive to Edirne on the 14th August. Would it be fine for you meeting some of my colleagues on one of the following dates:18, 19 or 20th August (in fact, it could be any date from 15 to 23th August). But if a powwow date is agreed, I could arrange a travel to some other places of Turkey: I'm not quite sure where I will go... perphaps Izmir, or somewhere i

cancelled travel Jul 8, 2017

Dear colleagues

Unfortunately, and after many changes, the train company cancelled the train to Turkey, thus my plans changed. I would not be much time in Turkey before going back to my country, Argentina. I would really loved to enjoy some nice time with you, but I also think that things happen for some (unknown) reason. I'm still studying Turkish (now I can understand some more words while watching Çalıkuşu at Netflix), I'm Beşiktaş supporter (my apologies to Fenerbahçer fa

I'm still studying Turkish (now I can understand some more words while watching Çalıkuşu at Netflix), I'm Beşiktaş supporter (my apologies to Fenerbahçer fans), and I still have many places to visit in Turkey in the future.
If you ever decide to visit Argentina, please fell free to visit me. And if you need it, I have an extra room for any of you.
I've spent a lovely time in Turkey.
Teşekkürler!

Ben katılamıyorum. Jul 24, 2017

Ben bu tarihlerde İstanbul'da olmayacağım. O nedenle hepinizden özür diliyorum. Ama sizlerle tanışmayı gerçekten çok isterdim. Nazik davetiniz için Emine hanım size ayrıca teşekkür ederim. Umarım bir gün bir şekilde tanışma, sohbet etme fırsatımız olur.
Clarisa, I will not be able to attend the powwow either. If we have another chance later, I will be happy to meet you all.
