I drove to Masco today. Masco is the world largest furniture market. I need to buy a mattress for the guest room. Ikea online is too complicated. Arranging the delivery with Ikea adds an additional layer of complexity.
In one of the mattress store there was a young man with good English. I choose a mattress and amazingly it could be delivered to my flat immediately. The young man with good English was very polite. He was blond with green eyes and looked more German than Turkish. I was curious where he is from. He told me he is from Allepo. He came to Istanbul three years ago. He finished pharmaceutical university but regretfully can't work in the pharmacy store here. We spoke about the war. His view is that the world war is played in his country. We talked about politics, refugees. His family had to leave Allepo. His younger brother is in Germany. Abdurahman would like to go back to Syria.Irrespective of his difficult life at all time he was positive. He spoke about life challenges with optimism.
We parted as old acquaintances.
