Last night I ventured out to go shopping and put some food into the fridge. I have never in my life seen such big supermarkets. The selection of food stuffs Was far superior to any available in Turkey. I found myself getting stupidly over excited at the Sight of Heinz baked beans and needed to stop myself from filling my trolley with them. I also found real Irish mature cheddar and Marmalade. My life is complete.

Some more local rules I discovered:

• It's quite difficult to go shopping as a single man As they will not let you in if you are alone. 
• You also have to go into a different line at the tills.
• All of the till operators are men which seems very strange. 
• Oh and you definitely can't drink the tap water here. 

I am about to embark on today's mission which is to get a sim card But apparently shops don't open until 3pm.
