Here are the top 10 things İ like most about Turkey. Some superficial things like the people were left off the list.
1. Free tea wherever you go!
2. Simit (My Turkish Seda Ertanis who lives in Dubai agrees!)
3. The outdoor Lale Cinema in Buyukada (alas no movie tonight due to the rain but they were going to show SUPERHEROES: THE MOVIE).
4. boat rides across the Bosphorous in İstanbul
5. beaches with topless European tourists (alas İ will not be able to visit the coast this time around!).
6. horse buggy rides on the islands
7. Karagoz and Hacivat shadow puppet plays in Bursa
8. Tarkan songs on the radio (he is famous everywhere except the USA).
9. tabloid Turkish newspapers
10. Kemal Sunal movies on tv (the late comic actor was a beloved figure in Turkey).
İ wanted to list several food items like kofte and ayran but there were too many to list!
