I agree on all - Marmaris IS touristic, but so is most parts of

Greece and I still love to go there anyway :-D

But my alltime favorite place and where i want to go again some day -

is Hanoi!!

 

BTW - what about your very first order from Sweden - can it be me??

 

Still smiling, but very tiredly soo,

Yo Ylva,

Yep .. they are very international in their approach to cuisine. But

being the bridge between the East and West for centuries .. plus the

exploits of the Ottoman Empire .. allowed them access to many different

cultures. The Ottomans were smart .. they didn't force assimilation but

rather took on the norms they liked in other cultures.

Alanya .. you gotta live there to really feel it .. its like Bodrum.

Marmaris is purely touristic .. like Side, Antalya. Kus Adasi, etc. In

fact, the average European touristic head count per day arriving in

Antalya this year was 35,000 people .. yep! Direct flights via SAS and

other airlines to Antalya. And Antalya can handle it without being

crowded.

 

(Snipped a bit) ;-p

Hawhawhaw .. I'm a lot like a bird dawg .. eat one meal a day and nap

when I feel like it. I sit back in my desk chair and take power naps

from time to time. My folks love it too cause I'm not grouchy whilst

I'm napping. ;-p Since returning from the US in late October I haven't

even tried to deal with jet lag .. its more convenient for me to work

nights and sleep all morning cause most customers are 7-11 hours behind

me here. Weekends .. I crash a bit .. 8-9 hours a day.

Nothing like it .. and a heckuva lot better than the alternative. ;-p

 

Y'all keep on then .. :-D Butch http://www.AV-AT.com
