Anyone who has ever ventured outside their native country knows that there are times when you find yourself partaking in something you never thought about back home.
For me one of those things has been Maxim. There is actually a Turkish version of the magazine which seems to be aimed at grown-up teenage boys.
Whether İ am one of those or not is not something that İ can decide for myself:)
But besides the photos of women in bikinis- which are honestly a bit tiresome after a while- there were some very interesting articles.
One was an interview with Sean Penn which was translated from the American version of Maxim. İn the interview Penn seems intelligent and articulate yet also a person who is quıte rebellious!
There was also a story about strange ways the some unfortunate souls met their death. İt reminded me of the story about a Swedish zookeeper who died while cleaning up the elephant cage (the animal crapped on him).
A more serious story dealt with heroin trafficing through Turkey which is right between the poppy fields of Afghanistan and the European market. Turkey also has its own fair supply as there is a city called Afyon here (Afyon means heroin in Turkish).
There was also an article about a Turkish-American cartoonist in New York who likes to work at home as opposed to a cafe so he can smoke!
Lastly- there was also some advice about what do and not to do with women. Of course articles like this- whichever language they are in- never help.

The articles that deal with how to handle men never help either. Photos of women in bikinis don't do it for me, but then I am a woman. Haaa on the interesting articles. That is why you'd buy it right? ;0
