We're drifting a bit, but perhaps our differences are due to the definition of a developing country.
Another commenter mentioned countries where a significant portion of its citizens don't have basic sanitary conditions, and that's what I'm picture. And in the case of Turkey, I wouldn't call it a developing country using this definition.

Agreed.
- jballanc 10y ago> And in the case of Turkey, I wouldn't call it a developing country using this definition. Yes, off topic, but I could've sworn that "developing" was the term used. Apparently, according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developing_country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developing_country): > In the 2016 edition of its World Development Indicators, the World Bank made a decision that there is no longer distinguished between “developed” countries and “developing” in the presentation of its data. Nobody has ever agreed on a definition for these terms in the first place. So much for the vagaries of human language! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- et-al 10y agoHa, yup. Going back to Turkey, I really enjoyed my time there and it didn't fit into the developing country stereotype since the middle class seemed to be doing alright and there were plenty of outdoor leisure activities (my personal marker of how "developed" a country is). If the political situation was better, I wouldn't mind living there at all.
