Okay, where would you put Turkey here? Europe or Asia? We're not totally Middle-Eastern, nor totally European. In fact, if you believe there's a cultural cliff between the Middle East and Europe, Turkey is that cliff, which makes it a cradle of contradictions and thousand-year-old battles.
Lacking the option to vote twice, I'd imagine the HN crowd from Turkey would consider themselves closer to Europe.
The time zone database, however, has this:
d243875439adb3b667e82af04ad8be63 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Istanbul
d243875439adb3b667e82af04ad8be63 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Istanbul
which is twice more "accurate" than whatever vote I'd cast on this poll :)
edit: Ah, turns out one can cast two votes. Anyway...
- danmaz74 15y agoIt depends... on which side of the Bosphorus are you? ;)
