The landscape in Turkey is beautiful. I experienced the sense of humor, likened to my own sense of humor, in Istanbul. People are very stressed out because of the economy that creates anger within the cultural of Turkey. However, Turkey is a hassle free country and people are honest about the price of food and transportation, and willing to help you with directions if needed.
I did meet some very nice, pleasant people, in Turkey, along with meeting some people that were very angry about life. In low season the hotels are willing to bargain, except for in Istanbul.
I found that people in Turkey listen much better than people in Egypt, although there are many people that have not inquired a listening earβa common quality all over the world.
The details of traveling Turkey as followsβ¦ Arriving in Antakya from Aleppo, I stayed at the Yeral Hotel for 30 Turkish Lira a night without a fan, although a private bathroomβI stayed two nights.
From Antakya I traveled on a Dolmus midsize bus to Gaziantep for 18 YTL, no air conditioning, only the fan work, the trip was bearable. I arrived in Gaziantep, the trip from Antakya is three hours. The Bus station for Gaziantep is far out of town, I took a city bus for 1 pound to the city center and stayed at the Evin Hotel for.
