Efenim bugun siz blog okuyucularimla ( tabi eger varsa
) paylasmak istedigim husus Toronto’daki otobus soforlerinin ne kadar basarisiz olduguyla ilgili. Aslinda yanlis anlasilmasin basarisiz olduklari sadece 2 konu var: hizlanma ve yavaslama! Diger konularda gayet iyiler, en az hepsi 2 dil konusuyo. Cogunlukla bu soforler kadin oluyo.. Ama yine yazicam, kadinlar alinacak ama n’apiim artik. Evet, yaziyorum, yazdim: Yaa, kadinlar da bi yere kadar kullanabiliyo su mereti kardesim. Otobus, metro, araba, bisiklet farketmiyo.. Konu bi seye yon verip, yon verdigi seyle kendi konumunu da degistirmek oldugu zaman kadinlarin bagil hiz, yonelim, konumlama kavramlari bi yere kadar yanii.. Kimse kusura bakmasin..
Ama bunlarin aksini ispatlayan ablalarla da tanismadim degil! Asiri saygi duymuslugum da vardir bu tur kadinlara..
Neyse biz konumuza geri donelim. Ne diyordum! Evet: hizlanma ve yavaslama! Ozellikle yavaslama.. Tamam anliyoruz, otobuslerin hepsi otomatik vites, zaten duz vites olanlari da kalmadi piyasada, ama yaw oole diye de gaza sonuna kadar basilip sonra da kirmizi isigi gorunce sonuna kadar frene basilmaz ki.. 300-400 metrelik mesafede yediginiz g’nin haddi hesabi yok kardesim. Stres oluyorum walla, bi one bi geriye.. Cok basarisiz cook! Nerede yurdum soforleri, ahh! O kadar laf ederiz bizim otobus, minibus soforlerine ama ben bundan sonra yapmicam.. Beterin beteri var. Adamlar en azindan aslanlar gibi kullaniyolar. Hop oturup hop kalkmiyosun, zaten oturcak yer de olmuyo ki..

Toronto dumurlari serimize kira sistemindeki degisikliklerle devam ediyorum.
Efenim malum yeni eve cikiyoruz Ilker Pasa’mla. O nedenle de yeni evin kontratini imzaladik gecenlerde. Ama ne imzalamakti. Iste ilk dumur:
Ev sahibimiz Bertrand Pasa (acaip fransizdir kendisi – hani hizli yasa genc ol, cesedin yakisikli olsun derler ya, bu amca tam tersini yapmis, acayip agir haraket ediyo o yuzden de pek yaslanmamis, saclar tarz, 80 yasinda, gozunde varyemez gibi $ isaretleri olan bi amcamiz) basladi yazmaya kontrati bi cizgili defter kagidina. Bu ne yaw dedik, kontrat dedi.. Nassi yaw dedik, bunun yasal gecerliligi olur mu diye killandi Ilker, adam da en az o suslu puslu antetli kagitlar kadar yasal dedi. Biz de neyse dedik ve de ikinci dumur icin beklemeye basladik.
2. dumur kapora modunda odenen parayla geldi dank dedi bana. Olay sudur: burda bir yeri kiralayacagin zaman ilk ayin ve de son ayin kirasini veriosun pesin pesin.. Boylece amcalar her turlu garantiye aliyolar son ayi. Bir gece ansizin basip gidersen hic sallamiyorlar..
Son dumur ise, oole istedigin zaman tasinma diye bi olay yok. Illaki ayin basinda tasinacan, yani 1′inde. Saka gibi yaw…
Sanane kardesim tasinirim ben istedigim zaman, istedigim zaman da cikartirim adami evden. ‘Cikin lan evden! Rumenigeden oglum geldi..!?!’ derim olur biter
Bak simdi yaw! Bi de basimiza truck kiralama olayi cikti. Hadi bakalim! Ulen Almanya’da Audi A3 aliyoduk, burda Dodge truck aliyoz.. Eee, memleketin olayi farkli biz n’apalim..

I keep writing again. Last month was a hard period for me since I was busy with moving from Istanbul to Toronto, Canada. It’s been like more than 2 weeks that I’m in T.O now and I’d like to write some about it.
The first thing that I can say about Toronto is it doesn’t look like any cities in Europe. It’s obvious that the city has been constructed in the last century and you would be disappointed if you were looking for its history as a tourist here. However, you can easily realize the perfect plan of the city, buildings, subway and so on… Especially the Yonge Street, I’ve never seen such a long and straight street in my life. It’s actual length is maybe more then 1900 km, just having different names along the way to other cities. But it is still there, it is still Yonge Street.. It is simply the longest street of the world!!!
Another thing I’d like to mention is the cars & trucks. One can just realize the difference between the way the cars manufactured here are the ones in Europe. Here since the oil is not a problem at all, there is no constraint as low fuel consumption or performance. Since this is the case, definitely you wouldn’t be expecting to see good design and engineering with the cars manufactured here. All you can see is their huge size.
Subway system is ok, but not as punctual as the ones in Europe, sorry to say this, however it is reality in here! One could surely expect the buses to arrive on time which is not the case most of the time.
Also, a few words about people: They are so respectful to others’ lives and you can see that while just going down the street for a few blocks. There is a great effort to get socialized and it is also so easy here too, which is a perfect thing. You can easily make friends by attending some communities of specific purpose that you are interested in.
Yeah, that’s all for the first part of the observation post `toronto`. I’ll be going on in the other posts.
