Why go to Greece and Italy when Turkey has it all!

I just came back from another photo-tour, if I can even call it that way, in Turkey. Why Turkey? I don't know - to be honest with you. I thought I wanted to see what was it - something that as heavily mixed as our North American "melting pot". First impressions of Turkey started showing up in Heathrow airport in London where I had a connection flight. The primarily Turkish crowd of passengers was indeed that “explosive” mixture of modern life and something post World Word II strange reminders as well as the whole plethora of all kinds of faces from a typical Turkish (what is a typical Turkish?) to almost North European looking people who were chatting Turkish among themselves. And here I am with my photo-equipment thinking – where am I going, and why am I going there? It was like a before-a-test-anxiety – as soon as my sitting group was called I rushed to the entrance and soon I was in that mixture of strange language, so familiar and so different looking faces. Flight from London was not that bad comparing to the transatlantic one before that. Almost in “a blink of an eye” I was in Istanbul International airport. Rather quickly passing the border control where just for $20 I was granted 3 months multi-entry (sorry, not employment) visa, I ended up among friends and relatives of those people but mine…

Insights
When raising a family, how important is it that your kids learn to speak Turkish?
Extremelly important. Being bi-tri-or whatever lingual is just another nice to have for all kids or what parents can pass to their children as a true inheritance!
Describe the perfect evening.
It could be anything - from sitting at home and talking about nothing to visiting night clubs
Describe your perfect weekend.
spend time with friends and family
Do you believe in love at first sight?
sure, everything is possible if we believe in it.
How many kids would you like to have?
ideally 3, realistically 2 although it is a mutual decision of both partners...
If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
poverty, homelessness, hunger, disease, ignorance, intolerance, fanatism (ethnic, political and religious)... list can be endless
What do your friends like about you most?
easy going
What do your friends tease you about the most?
my obsession with photography...
What gets on your nerves?
people who shut themselves down by saying ,"Oh, I've never done that!" Come on, give me a break - nobody has done everything, at least they tried!
What is the most important thing in a relationship?
understanding and realization that everything has an end... Once both partners realize that there is no endless "stuff", and there is always a possiblity for an end for whatever reason - health, mood change, geographical relocation, then it is much easier to deal with the aftermath...
What's the best age to get married?
any age legal in a given country. Preventing people from getting married or labeling it an ideal age is not for me. It could have been 18, it could be 50! Why get obsessed with it!
What turns you off?
People who cannot make up their mind and dragging their feet forever!
What turns you on?
Sincerity
What do you hope to be doing five years from now?
Probably happily married, not even thinking about this website... just kidding... I guess still living in the US, but activelly looking for ways to explore Turkey as a place to settle down someday, maybe when I retire in the millenium...
