incoherent ramblings

some interesting facts:

tulips

which country in europe is famous for tulips? holland! well, guess
where they got their tulips from? did you guess turkey? you're
correct! tulips have been associated with ottoman and anatolian
designs for centuries. i believe that the ottoman empire gave
tulips to holland as a gift.

the continuing sightings of turkish girls stuffing their
pants into their boots

yesterday, i got off the train in bakirkoy on my way to work and
almost ran into a young 20-something turkish girl. she was closed,
i.e. wearing a headscarf or hijab, with a long, shape-concealing
coat. i looked down, however, and saw a rockin' pair of shredded
black cargo pants stuffed into startling white stilletto boots.

wow.

this is exactly what turkey is about!
