Hi.
Istanbul, such a lovely place. I met many Kurdish here, including the Kurdish refugee from Syria the one who seek refugee from Assad carnage. And I really impress seeing the religiosity and attitude of the peoples from Van. Not to mention seeing the pictures in the internet, Van is a very beautiful place, lucky you already had your visited!
but I met wonderful peoples from Van, they are very nice peoples and the region that I'm living consist many Kurdish peoples. They teach me how to speak basic Kurdish, but cawani basim is the only things that stuck into my mind
ama turkce konusabilirim kardesim 
I used to have a Polish themed avatar as well, which stated "POLSKA". I actually live in the Netherlands.
