Turkishcap Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Finished work on December 10th 2010 and still off, my 3rd Turkish Christmas in 5 years, not the same though....yes they have Santa/trees/decorations out just now but its for New Year and Santa is used for that. Despite having Film on and seeing all the ads there is no build up like back home so you have to make the most of it yourself. Could be worse I could be employed.

Zakopane is my favourite place in Poland (in Europe in fact) and it's best in winter so I hope you have a great time. The Poles really know how to do a wedding too so be ready to drink your body weight in vodka! I'm finishing on 23rd, at my girlfriends mums on Christmas eve for the full Polish 12 course job. My mums on Christmas day for turkey and have tickets for Madchester on the 26th but will bin that if I'm needing a rest. Watching the game on the 27th with a bunch of mates from down south that I haven't seen for a while. Will sort out hogmanay nearer the time and off till the 5th. Love this time of year.
