Given the only images many of us have of Turkey is the Western press what can you tell us are the biggest misconceptions and misrepresentations of living and doing business in Turkey.
- shafyy 7y agoGood question. I have only been living here for 2 months, but let me try: - The cuisine is super diverse (not only kebap) - The people are exteremly friendly, helpful and tolerant - A bit like the US Trump thing, if you live in Turkey, in your daily life, you don't really notice that the government is shitty. - The downside of being easy-going and torelant is that Turks often don't give a shit about rules (the opposite of Swiss), e.g. if there's a no parking area they will still park their car there. Also, people are less punctual or dependable (not in a sense that they will fuck you over but it's just normal not to show up and just reschedule or be late). - Of course, these are generalizations, so take it with a grain of salt :-)
