first rule: never give up!
second rule: never give up!
third rule: start over the first rule! :P

bro I had very hard times in ma first 3 months here (after a full-of-joy-city Istanbul), feelin like having depression and looking for prozac or smt.. then just met with new friends (I mean really friends) around and now almost every night we've been enjoying here..

just stay positive! then even hell may be a good place (at least it makes me feel better to think so:) )

good luck!
