Quoting libralady:

I have had nothing but politeness and respect as a foreigner in Turkey, or in any other country I have ever been and I think this is because I always treat people the way I would like to be treated myself.



Exactly! Alone or with company, wherever I have been in Turkey or any other country, I was always treated with respect. Even when my outfit was not the most conservative one. Men could be looking at me in the streets, but they did nothing (and I mean NOTHING) to offend me in any way.

How come whenever you are absolutely sure that something CANNOT happen, not yet anyway, the world turns upside down and finally shows you more than one ways to do it?

(And whenever you plan something with every little detail, something happens in the last minute and you have to call it off? )



is it called miracle?

Haha, to be frank, I ve always dreamed to visit the beach with the shipwreck, but never managed till now
Maybe I should stick to your impression and forget all about this visit.

(But anyway, I think this is AGAIN the wrong thread to talk about it:-S )

My first and foremost impression of foreigners is, they are too individualist and mostly lack of virtue. Those who aren't such are no longer foreigners(!) anyway.

Individualism is a western trait that is part of the culture of the country. We are not all so individualist nor do we all lack virtue. So like that then perhaps I am not so foreign
