UPDATE: I am an old CS user fellow. This used to be an awesome platform before it was privatised. Just checking how it turned out to be after half a dozen years.

I am part of each and every single person I met through life, built upon my character... With all negative and positive aspects...

When I started communicating with people with global attitude in addition to the ones with relatively local mindset, I realized how little I knew about other cultures. For this reason, I believe, CS is a wonderful idea as it really brings people together and helps them become much more tolerant towards the ones from totally different cultural background.

A tiny bit of a biography about myself:
Grew up in Izmir, the third largest city on the west coast of Turkey, and studied at the capital, Ankara for four years. Moved to a small city called Borlänge in Sweden and studied there for about one-and-a-half more years and then moved to Oslo, Norway to start working in Maritime. After having lived in Norway for 4 years, I moved to Pusan in South Korea and lived there for 2 years. Thenmoved back to Turkey and lived in Istanbul for 5.5 years before I ended up moving to Vancouver, Canada in 2019. Married with a daughter, but currently on my own in Vancouver.
