Sudden Deaths…
Published on March 13th, 2007.
We’ve experienced some drops. Suddenly…
In this week Engin’s, Hanneke’s & Tuğba’s grandmothers were passed away.
Sorry…
Grief takes me sometimes…
May be ??
Shall we do it again?
Amen und auf wiedersehen…
Bu olaylar yaşanırken “Skin - Nothing But” dinliyordum… Hüzünlü…
De stilte is in overal,
Somber…

An Inconvenient Truth About KLM and its Baggage Policy
Published on March 10th, 2007.
Keywords for this entry:
KLM: Royal Dutch Airlines.
Baggage: Special package for trips.
Disrespectful: To show or express disrespect or contempt for insult
Insult: To treat with insolence, indignity, or contempt.
Mislead: To lead in a wrong direction or into a mistaken action or belief often by deliberate deceit.
~0~
The KLM officers in the baggage check section in Schipol Airport are in the concept confusion of respect with arrogance. Surplus this line, as being the “native” or “national” airliner of the Nederlands, they think that they can insult people especially foreigners.
This is the story:
Last day, we went to Schipol Airport. Kerim & Engin were on the way home… We took their tickets & boarding passes for Amsterdam-Istanbul KLM flight and after that went to baggage check. As usual Kerim’s & Engin’s baggages were overweighting, 32 to 34 kilos respectively. The foxy woman -in the bench- said that “our policy does not allow baggages which are weighting over 20 kilos”. We asked her for a help cos’ we’re all students… Result: Negative Response
“That’s ok” we said and eventually we started to think how much do we have to pay for the extra or overwieght -total overweight was around 30 kilos-. She did the calculations and said 150€ !!. That was a overprice for us. Because you can fly Amsterdam to Istanbul with the same price! I think this result occured beacuse of non-engineered flight planning. (I learned later that, flight was half full). She emphasized that we can post the extra baggage by cargo, and said that it’s cheaper. We all beleived her.
After the goodbye kisses and hugs, I left the place to give the baggages to cargo… Reslut: It was 200€. I had to give the baggages to cargo because Kerim & Engin were already boarded…
So by the great help of KLM officers the price lift up to 200€…
After the Cargo thing, I went back to KLM baggage check to explain the situation and express my angriness. I explained to situation to foxy lady and wanted from her that “I want to speak with your “chief executive”. So it was done… A timber like 190cm high lady came near to me! I’ve explained the situation to her again. Result & Response: “We offered you a choice”
So the misleading, disrespectful, insolence behaviours and non-passenger caring policy of KLM cost totally 230€ instead of 150€…
So KLM, good bye, tot ziens & good luck with your passengers. I will never fly with you from now on…
Zaaier to Meijer
Published on March 5th, 2007.
How lovely people they are…
I was in Café Zaaijer last night to have some beer. I was alone beacuse Kerim was in Germany, Engin was with his girlfriend… After having döner in Passantje (where is the best fast food place in Wageningen) I decided to go to Zaaier. Ok… That’s fine. I saw Hanneke too… When I was chatting with the bartender eventually these guys came. They were so funny & joyful…
After some drinks, I started to sing with them… 
And it began…. Within the limited time we became friends. After the closing time of Zaaier, we went to Jerry’s (mustached guy above) home. Where is located on the upstairs of Cafe Meijer. We had some Dutch folk music, etc… I have to say that, they can play lots of instruments, lots of songs…
After that, I leaved the place around 2.30am jumped on my bike and headed to Bornsesteeg… At that time I met with Bartek and had a chat about half an hour…
Briefly, last night was very interesting and joyful…

A poem to "Café Het Gat" & Night
Published on February 17th, 2007.
So clumsy, angry people;
Greasy, drunk people;
Hahaha, playing celestial symphonies…
Fields of Elysian?
No!
Have I dreamed ? or it was real,
What I saw as in a vision…
–Interlude–
When the long murmur applause
That greeted the “bartender’s” lay
–o–
While the sullen gales of….
In the long sleepless watches of the night.
Lying back amid the “grasses“…
xxx Yeah, It was too symbolic, but try it…
