Good 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 :-)
