Top Ten Turkish Delights
Written by andrea on Mar 4th, 2008 | Filed under: Turkey
- Seeing a live and very unruly black ram led out of the cargo hold of a passenger bus.
- Basking in the inspirational energy of a Ani Pierpont who just wrote Sinan Diaryz—a walking tour book of Istanbul’s Ottoman architecture. God, I miss American female bonding.
- Watching Turkish woman avoid “regular” toilets in favor of the stand-up squat variety. But, I guess when you’ve been going touch-less you’re whole life, a plastic seat seems gross. (Yes, Christine, of course I’m hovering!)
- Learning what a real supernova is.
- Attempting to sink into the floor as a violent movie called “The Marine” began playing on a bus ride through Turkey.
- Having a conversation about time machines with Michael over our umpteenth (Mom, this is your word!) donner kebab and ayran (something like buttermilk).
- Time spent with Kirdir–the rug-selling, bike-renting, triathlon-coaching guy with a moustache.
- Being served coffee, water, tea and cookies. On a bus. Does Greyhound do this?
- The inescapable irony of having to explain that we were in the “Peace Corps”, to Turkish people, at this present time.
- Joking with Sez, our second Turkish couchsurfing host, about the Seinfeld Soup Nazi.
