Oturma.
Friday
Every Friday men meet. This time about 12 out of 32 flats. Eat and drink and talk about the week's events, Kayseri and worldwide. I was cross at getting so little information. I tried too hard to explain and answer.
(i) Govt. site for factories - see below.
(ii) They can manage on salaries if they own a house.
All resolutely and solidly thankful for the coup.
Yes, a recession, but it will pass.
Lots of questions about Ireland, sociology etc.
All memurs or esnaf.
Very dominating Aydin Bey.
They all seemed very pleased.
Oturma alleged to be a Kayseri custom: women also meet for tea etc. one a week, custom in many blocks of flats.
