This and That

I always think of things to post after I post so I’m going to write an olio of things about Turkey:

1. I love that that halls in our apartment and other places are on motion sensors so the lights only go on when you step out the door.

2. Pedestrians DO NOT have the right of way. Cars rule the roads but people still walk everywhere.  You just sort of stand in the middle of the road when you’ve made it half way across and wait for the next break in traffic. 

3. There is a high police presence, but there doesn’t seem to be much crime at least that we can tell.

4. Fathers are very involved with their children and older family members seem very respected.  Lots of families out eating ice cream and just enjoying the beautiful weather.

5. Students are back to start college at the two big universities here so there is even more activity on the streets.

Hope all of you are doing well.  Have a great Sunday.
