Huliganov’s Turkish Experience #5 – A Passage to Asia

Original playout date: 8 February 2008
Duration: 14:00

We drive to Bolu. Anyone that thinks that Turkey is of necessity a warm country is in for a surprise. But the snow on the mountains here is a new thing – it never used to be like that in the last century. While North East Europe experiences more mild winters, here the climate change seems to be in the reverse direction.

Original playout date: 28 January 2008
Duration: 14:19

This evening we are in Taksim, in Beyoğlu, where the most thriving part of the city’s nightlife is, with shops open until late, and restaurants until even later. We went to one restaurant famous for the quality of its mezedes or hors d’oeuvres and were treated to some impromptu fasıl music. The title “Ye Beni” means “Eat me”, though whether it has the full range of meanings associated with that phrase in vernacular English I couldn’t begin to ask. Maybe someone here will tell me?
