Week 3
There is this Turkish soap opera, which airs on Azeri TV, called “Wolf’s Den.” It comes on every night at 7 p.m. and it is the only activity my 13-year-old brother is fully engaged in. From what I can tell there are three main characters in this serial: a lawyer, a police man, and a Mafioso in disguise. Somehow they are all linked to the Turkish mafia.
Often the lawyer and the Mafioso are shot out of helicopters or encounter near-death experiences in expensive hotels. And the hit man is like the thief’s grandfather or something.
My favorite character is the Mafioso whose disguise includes a bushy mustache, a trench coat, and thick black shades. Peace Corps warns us about unwanted attention from community members: stares, rude comments, even sexual assault. Eric and I have decided we will conceal ourselves by dressing like this man. It should keep those curious brats far from thinking we can entertain them.
