Turkey

I've decided to take a break from Polynesia, so I thought that I'd do a country that sounds very interesting to me, and that country is Turkey.

CUISINE
Most meals in rural parts of Turkey are eaten on a sini, which is a large tray. This sini is mostly called a replacement for tables. This is because it was once traditional and citizens still live to that tradition to this day. Your average Turkish breakfast consists of cheese, veggies, eggs, jam, honey, and kaymak which is a central Asian dairy product that is similar to clotted cream. Now, time for the dishes, that excludes kaymak of course. A simit is a circular bread covered in sesame seeds and is kind of like a bagel but much more healthier. The Kofta is Middle Eastern meatball/meatloaf, which usually consists of ground beef or lamb and also have some spices and/or onions. Our final dish is the Doner Kebab, which is lamb cooked on a rotating vertical pole. Now if you ask me this stuff sounds really good and these dishes that I just told you about are actually commonly sold at fast food restaurants in Turkey! So this sounds good now let's look at attra- oh my god.

ATTRACTIONS
HOLY MOTHER OF BUTTS THIS IS AMAZING, WHY AM I STILL HERE!?!?!? I WANT TO GO THERE RIGHT NOW!!!!! Okay, there is the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul which is one of the largest and the oldest covered markets in the world. It contains 61 covered streets and over 3,000 shops that sell pretty much everything! Then there is the Temple Of Artemis, an ancient Greek temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis, and did you know it's one of the seven wonders of the world? The final attraction is the Saklikent Canyon and is one of the deepest canyons, people are also allowed to swim in the waters of the canyon!

PEOPLE
Official language of Turkey is Turkish, that's it, with one exception. 17% of the people of Turkey speak English. The currency of Turkey, the Turkish Lira, equals roughly 2.50 US Dollars. But Turkey isn't all chuckles and sunshine. There are many dangers such as pickpockets, tap water that could make you sick, and a big warning for women, you're most likely going to be harassed a lot according to over 100 people.

 

Okay, Turkey's final score is a...

 

52.13

 

 

 

Nope, nope, nope, nope. This isn't that good of a place if you take into consideration the people. Nope.
