Question: Do you use Southwest Asia and North Africa as the default term over the Middle East in your writing? If yes, how do you handle earlier scholarship that uses “Middle East”? Do you keep the original terminology from the source? Curious to know how others navigate this.

Intermezzo is possibly my least favourite novel by Rooney. If I remember one scene from the novel, that would be when Ivan took Alexei back. There, I cried.

Hollanda’daki sağlık sistemi beni çok zorluyor ve yoruyor. Uzman bir doktora ulaşım zor, fakat uzman bir doktora ulaşıldığında da başka bir zorlukla karşılaşılıyor. Hastaya, hastalığa ve teşhise göre bazı tedavi seçenekleri sunuluyor.
