Really Good Things About Turkey
I fear that it might sound sometimes as if I'm just complaining about Turkey. Let me point out some excellent things about this country:
The buses. Why don't we have nice buses like this in America? It would be much better than flying these days, wouldn't it?
The food. Everything this article says is true. It's actually one the best countries in the world for vegetarians, too, believe it or not. You could eat eggplant every night of the year here and never get bored with it. They're really that clever with eggplant.
Protection against the Evil Eye: If you can't find the amulet you need in Turkey to cast out the Evil Eye, you're either not looking or a bit too cavalier about your home security.
I just wanted to make sure you had a balanced perspective. It's not all flotillas, corruption, and lethal construction.

Re: Really Good Things About Turkey
Gosh, I really do love Turkish food (a college friend had a Turkish mother who sometimes cooked for us -- yum!) People that cook so wonderfully have to be doing something right.
And I gotta love how they still drink raki -- does that tradition show signs of losing out to Islamization?
And can you recommend a good English-language Turkish cookbook?
Re: Really Good Things About Turkey
I can indeed, Midget! This one is a bit more traditional. And check out this site, run by some of my friends here, and their new book about eating in Istanbul.
