Finish the Sentence: Turkey

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Turkey

It’s fitting that halfway through my round the world trip I should arrive in the country halfway between the East and the West, the culture-clash of Europe and Asia that is modern Turkey. People are exceptionally friendly here, even the guys who don’t want to sell you a rug. Below are the locals and travellers who spent a few minutes of their lives with me, and a few more finishing these sentences. Non-Turkish have country codes.
