Cannot imagine having done this ultra strict lockdown in a non-English speaking country in the days before wifi. Or rather can imagine it all too clearly. And Turkish is somewhat beyond non-English. Could make a stab at communicating in French. J could do in Polish and have known him to manage basics in related languages. But the language most closely related to Turkish seems to be Azerbaijani, which is not too helpful. And the lockdown means it is not actually permissible to walk across the lane and, standing two metres plus away from someone else begin attempting a question. Technically ok to shout it from the doorstep. And presumably on the doorstep one would not need to be impeded by a face mask, for what that would be worth.
Our Turkish English dictionary is on the ipad but does work offline, which might be handy if we were out and about. But really everything we do, from reading books, listening to music, getting local information, corresponding, and learning world news is internet dependent. Both wonderful and a little scary.
Active coronavirus cases in North Cyprus now down to 12.
