Jack has published the best of Perking the Pansies, the blog, from the Turkey years as a two volume e-book. Welcome to Part One of the mini-series - Turkey, the Raw Guide. The uncensored director's cut includes previously unpublished material and some solid home-spun practical advice about living the dream. Visas, tax, banking, working, customs, healthcare, schools for the sprogs - all the boring stuff is in there. Jack likes to be functional as well as decorative.
Turkey, the Raw Guide
Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to pitch your tent on a foreign field, particularly a Muslim one? Guidebooks only go so far. To get a real feel, you need to ask someone who’s been there, done that and bought all the fake designer t-shirts. When Jack Scott and his Civil Partner, Liam, moved to Turkey nothing could prepare them for what was to come – heatstroke, frostbite, biblical floods, Byzantine red tape, lazy censorship, blackouts, bugs from Hell, rancid drains, lunatic drivers, dirty politics, spring-loaded waiters, jaw-dropping sunsets, kindness, generosity and acceptance. They stumbled upon what Jack infamously described as the mad, the bad, the sad and the glad. Jack wrote it all down in a blog for all the world to ignore. He called it Perking the Pansies. Against the odds and quite by surprise, Perking the Pansies grew into the most successful blog of its kind in Turkey, attracting a loyal following, the attention of the Turkish national press and hatched an award-winning Amazon number one best-selling book.
