Christmas in Turkey

Since Monday until today, we're living a kind of Christmas in Turkey so that we haven't worked yet. They call Bairam and this is a muslim celebration like a festival but they proudly say "this is like Christmas for you". I haven't seen Santa yet nor his parents appearing in my room, so I don't believe I'm going to receive a present this year :p.

Nevertheless, the whole crazy environment in the streets is alive and there's a lot of people  walking on the street. This country never stops living and I actually like it pretty much. One thing I can say to all of you: alcoholic drinks are very expensive and their politics about it are very tight. Of course we can drink alcohol but they manage a way for avoiding these things. 

I'm getting used to their way of driving and it doesn't seems to be very difficult. The only thing you have to do is: to honk all the time and to light signals for the car in front of you. These two things actually work very well and unlike we may think they don't stop discussing with anyone. They just go away for their destination.

Well, life in Turkey is almost like I've been describing. Hope you all have a Merry Bairam...or Christmas...whatever...
