15+ Peculiarities of life in Turkey that can cause admiration and envy in tourists

Hello guys! My name is Pavel, I had already visited 70 countries, but only this year I got to know Turkey. The country where cats are the kings of the streets, furniture is delivered to apartments in an unusual way, and decorations in shops and restaurants can seem strange to outsiders.

exclusively for awesome.club I decided to show the things and phenomena that seemed to me the strangest, but at the same time, quite creative and even useful.

1. The eye-shaped amulet, nazar, can be found not only in gift shops, but also on the walls of homes. The local population believes that he protects the home

2. Building materials or furniture are not carried by stairs during a move, but using Magirus stairs

4. Here crosswalks are piano keyboard painted

5. This inconspicuous sign next to a roadside rubbish bin may indicate a public transport stop, called “durak” in Turkish.

6. Strolling in a park, you can find these little boxes with buttons on a tree. It is an alternative to a taxi app in Turkey

In Turkey, I went to the huge cinema downtown to watch “Spider-Man”. Tickets for the Sunday night session cost just 8 reais🇧🇷 While I was watching the movie, all of a sudden, at the time of the action scene, the screen went blank and the lights came on. I found it customary to take a break in the middle of a session to go to the bathroom or buy some popcorn. I went to another cinema and there was also an intermission. Many Hollywood movies are not dubbed, they only have Turkish subtitles, so it is possible to watch the original version.

17. Homeless cats have exceptional privileges. They can take a nap on a bunch of new towels in a store and no one thinks to send them away.
