American in Istanbul

Dear Gentlemen: what my cryptic headline means is *I live in Istanbul*. In Turkey. Turkiye'deyim! So if you are in, say, New Jersey, please don't bother, unless you plan to be here, like, soon. Thanks! I am a visual artist from the U.S. I came to Istanbul as a Fulbright fellow for the 2010-2011 academic year to study traditional shadow puppetry and Turkish language, and stayed on to work here for a while. I have always been very interested in Turkish culture. I'm also at a time in my life when I am seriously seeking marriage (and children) in the near future.

Sure.
How many kids would you like to have?
Maybe 3? Definitely more than one; I was an only child and I wish I had siblings (now, if not when I was a child).
What do you hope to be doing five years from now?
Very likely in Turkey, or back in the US, married, with young children.
