Traffic in Turkey.
OMFG traffic is one hazadous thing.
In just over 2 weeks I've been in a car that a bus ran into, been in a car that hit a bicycle carrying two children and had about half a dozen near misses.
It's not that the road system is bad or anything, but just that people seem to be completely uneducated in road rules. The kids, for example, in the city that we pass through simply don't look out for traffic. The goats have more road sense. It's frightening to travel by road through these areas.
On a more positive note, the company that I am working for are intending to start road safety lessons at the local schools.
Other than that Turkey is a hoot. If you get a chance then get over here. Izmir is great, as is Foca, but the computer keyboards suck seriously with all these extra letters all over the place.
Anyway, a cold can of Efes Bira has my name written on it down at the local pub, so catchya's all later.
