I cant stand Turkey.
Living there is a blast ... if you like the 14th century with a dash of the 20th:
do not venture into the countryside alone;
do no go to Turkey if you are a single unescorted female;
do not commit a crime in Turkey of any sort - pick pocketing on 2nd offense earns you a chance to personally enjoy the wonders of thumb screws ...
do not do it three times ...
