I know this feeling well (read my very first post from 2005). Nothing has changed for me since then, except a few years older.
Its something that you can't put into words and its certainly nothing that anyone whom has never been here can ever understand.

I know this so well. I've been to Turkey now 6 times since february 2006 and almost everyone asks 'why'? That you can fell in love with a country - no, not a man - and want to see all of it, feel it, they don't understand.

The people's strength and pride in their country. Their rich history, how they stand so tall, their culture, their diversity.
I know it probably has problems the same as other countries...political, economic etc but it's their pride in their country that really got to me. The passion in my husbands voice when he talks about it to me. Gives me goosebumps!

Quoting ninja: Quoting MarioninTurkey: I don't think it is a case of loving Turkey more than our own nations.
Just loving it a lot, and differently from our own nation.
It is a fascination for the way Turkey manages to mix east and west, and constantly surprise us. |
I am curious about those loving Turkey so much that they want to move to Turkey. Despite the cultural, political, religious...difference and the honest advice of some Turkish friends here...
BTW, Hong Kong in also a good example of mixing the east and west. Welcome, and you'll find it also fascinating.  |
I am pleased you mention Hong Kong - I love it equally to Turkey! It is a fascinating place, full of intrigue, mystery and excitment! But it is of course much smaller and can easily be explored in a few days! To me the things I miss most about Hong Kong is the smell, the sound of the crossings, the bussle of a busy business day and even the suit sellers!
But Turkey being such a huge diverse country, there is so much to explore with such beautiful geology and geographical wonders to see. I don't think I would ever move to another country as I love Englad too much despite the enormity of the recent flooding and other social problems we have.
Besides it is nice to visit somewhere, have a great time, and then go home and tell everyone.

Glad to have you as a guest in HK. Come again! I agree with you that to visit and explore a nice touring country is one thing, to move to that country is totally another thing. I do like Turkey, I will visit again for sure. Yet I will still go back home. It is an irony that while hearing some westerners despising about Turkish (quite a number of them) don't go home when having gone to the West, there are quite some Westerners trying to move to Turkey....

No Turkish CV s so far. Perhaps, we should advertise in Hong Kong too. 
PS: Help requested from all. Pls help draft a suitable add, guaranteed to get rapid results - succesful add will be posted in HK papers.
