• Toodle Pip Türkiye

    11 Ekim 2025, Türkiye ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

    Iron tracks delivered us from far eastern Türkiye to its western border, without sufficient time to see everything on our wish list. A return trip required to explore Gallipoli, Ephesus, Cappadocia and the Lycian Trail.

    Perhaps we shouldn’t delay our return? My governance instinct, based on the complexity of the present-day regional & internal political issues, is Türkiye’s ensign will become even redder (original flag’s scarlet signifying the Ottoman’s blood and power). Hopefully a wrong perception and the Evil Eye talisman will protect the country from negative curses.

    Meanwhile, note to self is to read more about Sufism and Rumi’s poetic views about humanity and the world.
