• Directions in Turkey are almost always given in relation to other places, not by using directions like east, west, north and south.
• When Turks say where they are from, they say the city where there parents are living, even if that is not the city where they grew up.
• Standard maternity leave is 6 months.
• The Mediterranean Sea is called the White Sea.
• Turks can get their drivers license @ 18 so school kids take public transit or sometimes school buses for private schools.
• Each hotel room had a copy of the Koran along with a prayer mat.
• We like to complain about gas prices, but in Turkey it is approximately $7.00/gallon. We should be thankful our gas prices are subsidized!
