Ciko is this true?

Let´s not put it that way as "being peaceful".
They just don´t have much concept of time. They do not believe in time. They do things usually the right time they believe they should be done. I know it from my dad. He always pays fines for delayed bills. And he´s still just fine. On average turks go to their appointments half an hour later, though one hour is still fine.

Well.. an impression of a tourist is very different from an experience of living in a certain place.. For example, when you go to the Bahamas as a tourist, you see beautiful beaches, wonderful hotel resorts, fabulous scenery... and when you step out of the touristic places there is unimaginable poverty and struggle... Somehow, I couldn´t enjoy the good things there when I realized how the rest of the people lived... 
Turkey also has beautiful places, rich culture and history, good food... definitely a nice place to visit. What is most impressive, I think, is that you can feel that Turkey is on the edge of both worlds - East and West. Not too "eastern" and not too "western"...
