A final note on Kusadasi

Written by on August 26, 2010 in Blog, Travel, Turkey - 4 Comments

A few days after departing Kusadasi, I thought everything was behind me. It pretty much was … until I was reunited with Claire in Olympos.

I was sitting at the treetop bar, enjoying my last evening in my adult summer camp surroundings when she sat next to me.

“Claire! Hi!” I squealed as she took a seat next to me.

She and I had been in touch during everything in Kusadasi. She knew what had happened.

“You won’t believe the message I got on Facebook,” she said.

“Oh god, is it about me?”

“Yup.”

“Can I see it? Will it make me mad?”

“Probably.” She opened her computer and logged into Facebook.

This is the message Murat wrote her (WARNING: strong language is used):

Also I explein you 1 more thing.
There is a 1 idiot bitch write a mesage to your wall about me and I hope you can guess.(diane)
I sended her from her 2. day and do you want to hear whats the real reason.
She dosent need a job she just want to her own room because she is looking for a people who will fuck her.

I closed the computer and closed that miserable chapter of my adventure and together, we burst into laughter.

    good lord. This whole story was incredibly disturbing. I’m so glad you made it out safe and sound.

    And that email? RI-DIC-U-LOUS!

    I’ve had problems in foreign countries with men not understanding my very clear signals. It’s so frustrating!

      It was horrible to go through it but it taught me a lot about myself and being strong. He was/is ridiculous.
