They all dress like david beckem 4 years ago, they all want your money, I hate turkey: I will never go again, especialy after I did the Turkisg bath...
 
From what I remember of the bathhouses, there were numerous, disgusting bare-naked breasts and a few good ones. Other than that, the water was warm, and smelled foul. You give the impression like you were pinned down by a bunch of hired muscle and assraped 'till dawn on a friday night. Meh, I guess I never had any trouble, my uncle was some kind of mafioso.

The natural pools in the mountains, though, were awesome. Aquaducts ftw.

Myeah, isn't that "experience" based mostly on German Turks though?

turks are turks :look:

If you're going to Turkey, don't chicken out!

Ah ah ah!

:seriouslyno: Don't go to Turkey, unless you want to get killed by the Kurdistan Liberation Hawks.

If you do the mistake to go there not on a summer vacation you have to know that turks bargain everywhere like gypsies - you always can buy the same thing cheaper. Also - they are not a xenofobic nation /like the greeks/, but are aggressed by the poverty. And watch yourself, more that 50% of the rapists in Bulgaria are turks :seriouslyno:

BTW - A minute ago I read that Pinokio and The Three Musketeers, accepted Islam, and 100 more literary books in turkish school system were misrepresented in the use of the muslim religion. :shock: :lol: Really, there are better destinations than the islamic (republics) in Asia.
 
Hoorah! Fas Ist is back from summer camp :!::!:

EDIT: Bah, DDD welcomed him first.
 
Fas Ist, there's an interesting thread about Bosnian pyramids.
 
If you go to Turkey, make sure you antagonize every turk you meet, and do whatever you want, they love that. See a nice souvenir you like? Steal it! No problem. And if some angry turk shoves a big knife up your face, you make sure you got a bigger knife to show him.

Knives are like status symbols in Turkey, the bigger the knife, the cooler and sexier you are. :ok:

Ok, ok, I've never been to Turkey, so I'm just guessing here.

This was the only problem I ran into while I was there. You could go into the same store 3 times in the same day and they would give you three different prices for the same item. Plus they use three different currencies, the Euro, the US dollar, and the Turkish lira, so buying anything is not straightforward like it is here. It's just part of the culture, I guess - my friend and her cousins were with us the whole time and everywhere we went, bars, clubs, restaurants, etc., they would go into these long negotiations with the owners or staff before we set foot in the place. I don't know how they can deal with it on a daily basis, if I had to haggle for coffee or bagels or whatever every day I'd go beserk.

Anyway, I just got back a week ago. I'll post some pictures and stuff later if anyone is interested.
