Hi,
I am supposed to be in Ankara these days...but due to flooding in Manila, it still keeps me here. While waiting for the day of my flight that will be by next week , I am preparing myself to meet people in Turkey, by doing so, I am reading a lot about their culture, tradition, warnings and danger to foreigners and including relationship with the Turks.Instead of feeling excited I am quite nervous....about fraud by taxis (50 lira to 5 lira), scam (being nice and offer to treat to fancy restaurant or bar but later run away and you pay the shocking bills,because they come in as group).....and more. To ladies who are swayed by handsome and young Turks were fallen to their trap and ended losing their valuables, i felt pity on them. Most of this things happened to European tourist. Now, I am wondering if this happened to you as well specially those living quite longer in Turkey. Please help me clear my mind. I've been working abroad for several years and had some bad experiences. This time I have to be cautious and be prepared to any harm I might encounter.I want to come to Turkey with good memories about the country and its people.
To concerned ppl..add or email me at [email protected],
Looking forward to hear from you guys out there!
