New Year adventures, or how 2012 's started for me

As we all know while being abroad you have different stages of you new life.


So my honeymoon in Turkey passed successfully, I ve experienced lots of new things and became happier every day. But as you know honemoon period is not eternal, so after it you start to feel a biiiit worse and depressed and crisis phase comes. Usually after 3 months.
So December. 3 months in Turkey. Crises started. Usually in my life I prefer always to remain positive and optimistic, but this time was quite difficult. You know time when you start to miss your past life, to miss some simple small things from your country, your family of course and friends and... food, oh god! How I missed normal my mom's made food!!! I can cook, I do cook here, but its different you know. So that was the only thought for days. Especialy it was difficult because New Year time was coming and the weather here in Bursa I can say wasnt really New Year mood weather,so it was even worse. I know myself quite well, so after 1 or 2 week I would calm down and the crises period would soon or later finish, but I also know myself that I am not adjusting to reality but always do some unexpected and crazy things trying to change the situation that I dont like :)

So 26 of December 2011, one week till New Year. Adventures started.
I was thinking about going home to Ukraine, but I was not sure about visa stuff and money of course, I dont get that big salary here to afford travelings to UA and back, BUT... one evening changed everything. So as I had a permission from the company to have a week off, I thought - come on, the main thing that is important in this life is people (your family, your friends) - so what will I do with my December salary? Yes, I could buy something or go to Istanbul for New Year or something else, or I can make happy myself and people I love just making a New Year surprise and come home. That was a good decision.
So 27 of December, 5 days till New Year. I got plane tickets. So the rest 2 days were just fast packing, buying presents and arranging stuff here before leaving.
29 of December, 3 days till New Year. I was in Istanbul. I was so afraid to miss my plane, so I just came one day earlier to Ist to be sure, Luckily I had a place to stay and spent wonderful time there.
30 of December, 2 days till New Year. I was sitting in Ataturk airport and visualizing my meeting with the family and friends. Oh, I forgot to tell..it was secret. Only my brother knew that I was coming, NOBODY else, so it was quite unexpected surprise. Yeah, I can do that :)
30 of December, evening, I was so excited and nervous landing to Simferopol airport. To be honest I expected lots of snow, but anyway it was good feeling untill I came into Simfer airport. Yeah, after Istanbul it was a little bit different :) I was absolutely dissatisfied with Turkish airlines, they are so much more expensive but really worse than Pegasus - late for 2 hours, broken suitcase and bad service. But anyway it were just small not important things. The most important was to see my brother meeting me in airport with smile and hugs :)

I talked a lot, I told him about my life, about Turkey and everything. I felt a little bit strange in the beginning, using our marshrutka and seeing so usual people, but I got used to it very fast. (probably because I knew that I ll come back to Turkey as I had return ticket on 6 th of January).

So that was it, my city, my home and my old life.
As I told before I didnt tell my parents that I was coming home. So you had to see their faces when they saw me. My Dad was shocked and so happy,my Mom couldnt talk for 5 minutes, but I fullfilled her wish - all family at home at New Year Eve.
So it was very nice family dinner with so desired home made food and Ukrainian TV.
I was at home and I was happy....
