Unfortunately it rained pretty much the whole day on our last day there, which was especially disappointing for Stephi, since we had planned to get a whole day at the beach - something she had really been looking forward to. Tuesday and Thursday would have been perfect for that, but I had asked if we could just chill at the hotel on those days (not thinking the weather could actually change) - so we had planned on doing the beach on Friday and Saturday, neither of which ended up working.
But at least it stopped raining in the evening, so we went shopping.
OK, moral question of the day - I bought two Game Boy games there for pretty cheap, unfortunately the reason they were so cheap is because they weren't original games, they were copies. The police apparently completely tolerates that there (there was a police station right on the main store street where they were selling all sorts of crap). So - what should I do? Toss the games? Keep them and just don't buy any more of that sort? I think that legally I'm fine, since that sort of thing is completely allowed in Turkey, and I didn't do the copying of the game which is the big offense in Germany - but I'm not sure.
Thoughts?
Well, all in all: Simply great vacation, wonderful time.

play your game. your supporting some creative turkish guy instead of a giant corporation. what's wrong with that?
Well, the question basically answered itself - I found out on Internet forums that the game's batteries probably won't hold longer than a couple of weeks, meaning from then on I won't be able to save any games and will have to start my game over each time. So, that basically renders the game useless. :)
Oh, and it's not a creative turkish guy getting most of the money, it's usually a "pirate group" of hackers who sell all their game copies to all the very uncreative bazaar stands who then sell them to gullible tourists like moi. :)
