>That's interesting Metin, but sad. I actually heard another Turkish gentleman make a similar statement. I thought at the time it was just one man's opinion. He told me that in Turkey, no matter how hard you work, you will never get ahead. All you end up doing is sacrificing time with your family to no end. He planned on staying in the U.S. until he had enough money to take care of his entire family and retire in Turkey. He always planned on returning home one day though.

I thougt immigrate Canada or Australia but my wife didn't want it. I don't move another country without my wife and daughter...
