Preface
Turkey, some people know this country because of a song a few years ago, which wrote that Turkey is one of the must-visit places in life.
It is close to Syria and Iraq, and it is separated by a sea with views of Russia and Ukraine.
Some people wonder what kind of culture Turkey has, what kind of customs and food are they?
A different style
Turkey's climate also has four distinct seasons, from about 30 degrees in summer to below zero in winter.
When traveling, you can look for spring and autumn seasons, the temperature is not too cold and not too hot, so you don't need to prepare too many clothes.
The best option is to head straight to Ankara, the capital of Turkey, which is easily accessible.
In addition, Ankara has a name called "the heart of Turkey", because it radiates from here and can reach all important cities.
And Ankara has a long history, where the strongest Turkish culture is located.
There are also various historical remnants of classical architecture, such as those from the Roman and Byzantine periods.
Turkey is also a relatively romantic and classical country, and it was once praised by netizens as a travel destination for couples.
Knowing the culture there does know why it has such a name, the people of Turkey love life.
Even the cups used to drink tea will look for very distinctive and beautiful colors.
There are often people who bring souvenirs and buy a set of Turkish souvenirs, which can be used not only for friends and family, but also for their own use.
Imagine a leisurely afternoon, sipping tea from a teacup brought back from Turkey, with a sense of cultural collision.
And if you see this mug in a few years' time, you will be able to remember the happy times of your trip to Turkey.
The majority of Turks are Muslims, so in order to guarantee their loyalty to the religion, they are not allowed to like "idols".
In order to spend their energy elsewhere, they like to delve into "patterns", they love flowers, trees, and birds.
It is not uncommon to see large flowers in the park squares in Turkey, mainly tulips and carnations.
There are also rich and beautiful patterns of Turkish shawls, clothing, curtains and other cloth products, as well as plates and teacups.
These are carefully crafted by the workers, and if you meet a beautiful Turkish girl, you may be able to use this as a topic to deepen your relationship.
Another advantage in Turkey is that although the religion here is Islam, there are not many restrictions on women.
In some areas, women are not allowed to interact with men, and even more revealing clothing is not allowed.
But in Turkey, girls are free to show off their figures, and they can also have a drink and chat with their male friends.
Although it was already very open to a certain extent, they still did not allow women to wear clothes without sleeves because it was a bit too revealing.
You can wear long skirts or short sleeves, but for example, tank tops and other clothes are not recommended to wear, which will affect the "cityscape" a bit.
People in Islam can't eat pork, and you should have seen this in many halal restaurants.
This kind of restaurant can't even take out food, for fear that someone will bring pork into the restaurant when they are not looking.
Distinctive living environment
Some people wonder what it's like to live in Turkey and find a job in Turkey is not much better than it is back home.
No matter what country you are in, it is still the people who have the ability to make money.
Some young people in Turkey actually choose to work abroad to earn money.
So in general, if you prefer Turkey, you can also choose to work there.
But if you're going to Turkey to make money, it can be difficult to get to where you want to go.
If you live in Turkey, what is it like to commute to work? There are many taxis in Turkey.
And if you don't like to take a taxi and want to drive yourself, it's best to prepare a little money, so that it is more convenient to buy a car and work there.
Then there are some drivers in Turkey who will be greedy for cheap, they may not follow the route, so the cost will be higher.
Buying a car and taking a taxi are exclusive to the wealthy, but if you are just an ordinary worker, you should take public transportation honestly.
Public transportation in Turkey is actually similar to that in China, that is, subways, buses and the like.
But because of the geography, they have another kind of ferry, which is used for cross-regional transportation.
It can be a bit of a hassle if you're bringing your family over, and some people want to find a local partner in Turkey.
This way is also possible, Turkey is relatively early to get married, and China may not be able to legally marry until you are in your 20s.
However, the law in Turkey states that you can get married when you are an adult, but there are special exceptions in some places, and you can still get married even if you are not of age.
This kind of area is generally a relatively backward place, if you want to live in Turkey, it is better to find a city.
Turkey also has a colourful rest life where you can go and enjoy the theatre.
Turkey's theatre culture has been influenced by Britain and the United States, but it retains the original taste of Turkey and incorporates these wanted elements.
In addition, some people have the impression that there are many actors and actresses working together in theater, but the actors in Turkish theater are mostly men.
This is also a high art in Turkey, so if you have the chance, you must experience the Turkish theater culture.
Household goods in Turkey are also more reasonably priced, and they also sell copperware and sepiolite cigarette holders.
Some people may not have passed the latter one, but in fact it is mainly made of clay ore, and its color changes subtly over time.
When living in Turkey, you can choose blue or white clothes because people in Turkey love these colors.
Every country has its own color, and everyone has the impression that our country is red, while Turkey is blue and white.
It is said that you can also choose these colors of Turkey, and blue and white are all versatile colors.
A gastronomic attraction not to be missed
Naturally, you can't miss the food when you go to Turkey, Turks love all kinds of meat, such as lamb and fish.
Therefore, the taste of their dishes is also very distinctive, such as roasted whole sheep, and raisins and pine nuts are added to the rice to increase the taste.
There are also meat skewers, which are infused with lemon juice, olive oil, and some even milk, and some wonder if it tastes weird.
Actually, no, this barbecue has a unique flavor after being grilled, and vegetables are added to prevent it from feeling greasy.
They also have coffee as a drink at the dinner, and Turkish coffee may not taste very similar to regular coffee.
If you think about their dishes, you can see that they really like to add sweetness to their food.
Even the Turkish pizza is topped with pineapple and cheese.
If it's domestic, it may be Orleans chicken pizza, and if it's sweet, it's durian pizza.
However, Turkish pizza is not only sweet, but also interesting in shape, not only round but also long.
In addition to the food, Turkey's attractions are not to be missed, such as the Temple of Artemis and the Mausoleum of King Halikarnasus.
The Temple of Artemis is a god in Greek mythology, so the temple built in this place has also gone through a long time.
The temple is somewhat old, but it also leaves many traces of history.
