Sorry for the radio silence, but I’ve been in Turkey for the last two weeks. Battling foreign language keyboards and ancient internet hook ups is near impossible after a day of walking under the sun, but I have an old fashioned notebook filled with things to share. Let’s start with some Turkey basics.
Deodorant is not a cultural norm. 
Kebabs rotate on every street corner and can cost as little as 1 TYL (70¢).
The Islamic call to prayer can be heard five times a day- everywhere.
A Turkish breakfast.
Many women wear veils.
Bus attendants wear bowties.
Turks drink tea from rose shaped glasses- all day long.
Baklava is addictive- I had two pieces a night for two weeks.
Cats and dogs run the streets like Kings.
