The coast Turkish is necessary to us.
The coast Turkish is necessary to us.
Last decade Turkey became especially close to us, it
Has captivated Russia cheap clothes and footwear and has opened for ours
Tourists the resorts.
If to fly by the plane Istanbul appears as huge
Grey stain. A smog - a payment for successfully working industry.
But on the earth impurity of atmosphere any more is not very much felt, to
To the same exotic of "Turkish coast" quickly forces to forget
Similar trifles.
East beauty of architecture, the abundance of mosques distributed
At regular intervals singing of the mullah immerses at once
Tourists in other world. That there is at least a possibility to visit
At once in two parts of the world: to Europe and Asia. In Turkey for this purpose
Simply enough to walk on the bridge connecting two coast
Passage Bosporus. Do not disappoint tourists and magnificent hotels,
Beaches, and also ancient monuments of history which can be seen
The eyes. (However, behind a corner at a history monument quite
Can be a typical high-rise building from the same typical nursery
Platform, it is not enough than differing from the Samara.).
The first sight is deceptive.
But Turkey is attractive not only a front door,
The paraded party. Its every day life hardly probable not
It is more interesting. If early in the morning to walk on the central streets,
It is possible to see, how employees of banks, hotels mops, brushes with
With special soap solutions wash sidewalks. Dust, which in
Plastic bags has been exposed on sidewalk, ashmen have collected,
Driven at night by cars.
When streets are filled with people, the general impression is created
Something grey, gloomy. Dark clothes, long skirts, absence
Cosmetics on woman's faces, hairdresses "such zhivenkie"... The First
Impression, that all put on in shops "sekond-hand". But
It is necessary to look narrowly, and it appears, that the girl in shapeless
To jacket makes impression of the model which have just descended with
The Parisian podium. Perhaps, the secret is covered in ability to carry
Things. Among Turkish women there are not enough beauties, but if has carried to meet
Such it will be remembered for a long time.
Men-Turks, contrary to occurring opinion, possess quite
The European appearance: a light skin, fair-haired and chestnut hair.
And the manner to put on too is rather original. The man in the shabby
Velveteen trousers and plashchike a-lja Colombo can quite appear
The richest person of Turkey.
Turks who live in an old part of a city in small houses
On narrow small streets, well know the neighbours. In radius of 100 m from
The house it is necessary to go, continuously greeting with having a rest
On shops local residents. The good form considers
To stop, talk.
There was time when among a Turk was considered as the big good luck
To marry the Russian. And today in many shops work
Russian women. Therefore knowledge of foreign languages for ours
Tourists in Turkey it is not obligatory. Russian there understand
Many if it is not possible to find common language, helps
Universal international language of gestures. However, a little
Turkish words nevertheless it is better to know.
"Meraba" - hello, "paselsen" - literally "as you?", but
It is used in value "how are you doing?" Coming into the small
Little shops, it is accepted to greet, and leaving - to be excused, even if
You have bought nothing. In general goodwill of sellers to
To visitors, from our point of view, happens simply shaking. To
To example, after one of our compatriots of hour
Ones and a half chose in shop jeans and poor saleswomen already
Were knocked down, removing with shelves all new and new models,
Employees of shop have suggested the customer to have a rest,
To sit, drink a cup of coffee and to smoke a cigarette. And coffee and
Cigarette have been given absolutely free of charge!
Buying something in small shops, it is possible to ask about the discount,
Also the probability is very high, that to you it will give. In the big
Shops single discounts are not given, but there is usual
System of seasonal sales during which time of the discount reach
50-70 %.
The car - not luxury.
The most popular means of transportation - a taxi. It is a lot of them, they
Are rather inexpensive and stop on the first wave of a hand,
To rush under wheels there is no necessity. To catch "private traders" not
It is accepted, in Turkey yet have not understood, that thus too it is possible
To earn additionally.
But if the desire to save is great, it is possible to use
Cars habitual to us, and two-story are by bus, there also, but
The poorest levels of population use them usually. Trolley buses
There is not present, and here the tram can be seen in the central street
Istanbul which reminds Moscow Arbat: set of cafe,
Small restaurants and the shops trading in souvenirs. The tram reminds
Toy parovozik on our quay: it is possible to drive, but
As the serious type of transport it is not considered.
Needs must when the devil drives.
Abundance of cafe and restaurants (and to eat better in them: unlike
Street dealers, they guarantee freshness and quality of products)
Forces to rejoice those who has got the permit not with the full
Board. A Turkish cuisine original, sharp enough and at
It tasty. The basis is made by the second dishes among which it is a lot of
The meat. In many cafes the self-service system, so is accepted
Popular in us during Soviet times. With a tray it is possible to pass
Along a counter on which it is exposed about 20 different dishes, and
To choose that was pleasant. The prices, by the way, are rather accessible: for
$3-5 it is possible to have dinner not bad. It is necessary to give special attention
To dishes from fish. For this purpose it is necessary to visit area of "fish streets" -
The Godfather-kapy.
National alcoholic drink of Turks - rake. It very much
Strong, it dilute with tonic or mineral water. In not diluted
Status rake transparent as vodka, in the diluted grows turbid,
It becomes similar to milk. On taste reminds a medicine, therefore
Very few people from our compatriots can estimate it on
To advantage.
Vodka in bars too is popular enough, but it also dilute,
More often cherry juice, also add a lot of ice.
The darling I learn on gait.
After day excursions and entertainments to beaches it is possible
To go to the tourist centre of Istanbul where are located all
Pleasure institutions, in particular night clubs. They work
Basically from 22.00, till 3.00 goes kontsertno-entertaining
The program, and disco and bar rack work until
Is though one visitor.
Going to a similar place, it is necessary to mean some
Rules which will allow our compatriots not strongly
To be allocated from the general, enough motley crowd of tourists. (However,
With all the heart can gambol not only Russian. There was a case, when in
One of night clubs the company of drunk Greeks danced sirtaki
Directly on a bar rack.).
Nevertheless the Russian tourists, as a rule, differ more
Noisy behaviour and strongly pronounced desire to row. So,
One of "new Russian" has decided to show in the beginning width
Souls and to treat the company of casual acquaintances expensive enough
Drinks but when has seen the bill for the sum about $2000, the beginnings
To demand discounts from volumes etc.
Going to restaurant, it is necessary to know, how procedure looks
Payments under the bill. The waiter submits the bill in special crusts,
Revealing as the book. Crusts together with the enclosed denomination
The waiter takes away and returns with delivery. The termination of this ritual
Should look as follows: crusts come back again
To the waiter with the small sum "on tea".
