Miniaturk

So, we went to a magical land where we could see all the wonders of Turkey, and some from abroad that have Turkish ties, in one after noon! We got to the entrance and as we were handed guide books in English and told that we were to pay 10 YTL per person so that we could listen to the tour in English as well; Eric quickly saved the day by explaining that we did not live out of the Country and that we should be charged as locals (5YTL per person). It worked out great, we did not trade our guide books in for Turkish and it had all the information we needed. It was a small victory in the fight to move beyond foreigner status. The name of the “magical land”, by the way, was miniaturk, and I encourage you to take a look at their site.

















Here is a cool miniaturk version of the cistern which you read about in the last blog entry!
