Traveling Across Turkey
I guess I never really imagined what Turkey was like before coming here. I mean, a few weeks of thinking about it and having really no clue whatsoever what we were in for is more of how it went. Did you know Turkey has tons of American fast food chains? Popeyes, KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, Subway. I was shocked and very much in a happy way. I know eating American crap isn’t exactly experiencing Turkish culture but, I hadn’t really had Popeyes since 2020 and it was incredibly cheap and delicious and, fuck, now I want it again. Great job, Vinny. Perfect. The price of the chicken sandwich meal was under 50 lira, so around $3. I also had no idea that Turkey had all of these beautiful old Renault and Fiats still heavily being used. They’re so beautiful. Maybe one day I can buy one and bring it to America. I’ve been keeping a journal about our travels, writing by hand. One day we hope to make a book about these travels so I guess this will all come in handy at some point. We still have to go to Istanbul and take lots of photos so hopefully those are very much bangerish. My bank account is currently sitting at $1.66. It’s the lowest point it’s been in maybe 15 years. We’re taking 4 months off to go home and work and save up so we can come back to Turkey and start up again but with heavy bank accounts, not lite bank accounts. Heavy not lite. The weather here in Cappadocia is crap this week so we’re doing a mixture of nothing and some things, trying to pass the time until the weather gets better next week. This is one of those places where REALLY beautiful photos are on offer, when the sunset and sunrise are on point. We haven’t had a single one of either yet, in the four days we’ve been here. I’m going to attach some photos now and then later on this afternoon we have a pottery class ($8 fee).
