The amount of information that you provide is wonderful. I have just come back from a 4 day trip to Istanbul - my first visit to Turkey - and I am in love with you all. The culture, the people, the food, the history. I cannot wait to get back and visit Turkey again and to make friends and to learn your beautiful language. I really miss Istanbul.
