Things I've Loved About Turkey

We will be leaving Turkey tomorrow, so it's time for a pictograph wrap-up of things I liked especially.


Turkish beer


Milky ice-cream


Poppies growing up from between rocks


Ancient ruins - especially the Library at Ephesus


Turkish coffee


Ayran - yogurt you can drink


Watermelon chunks sold from wagons


Meze - any meze is good meze


Cobblestoned laneways


Old men playing backgammon EVERYwhere


Simit - Turkish bagels sold from wagons EVERYwhere - 50 Australian cents


Turkish tea in a glass that's too hot to hold


Mastic ice-cream (looks like a soft-serve but is actually "chewy" - you can bite into it and it stretches out like mozzarella)



Cappadocia


Künefe - sweet cheese dessert


Cute tram in Istaklal Avenue 


The Grand Bazaar


Spice market


Syrup donuts

    I second the idea that every meze is good meze.
