English Turkey

That’s nice to see that Amazon sells products of two well known Turkish delight companies of Turkey. Hazer Baba and Galil. Hazer Baba Turkish Delight with Rose is an excellent choice to try traditional Turkish delight (also known as Lokum). 4 packs price is quite affordable at Amazon. Another choice is Galil Rose Mint Lemon mixture pack. Mint is also widely used in making delights in Turkey. These two lokum companies produce according to traditional receipts and do not use preservatives. All is natural. I especially suggest serving Turkish Delight with traditionally prepared Turkish coffee. I will write another article about how to prepare traditional Turkish coffee and where to buy the quality Turkish coffee later.

Nowadays, this is the most popular topic everywhere in Turkey. Streets, cafes, schools, homes, mass media etc wherever you can imagine. People seem to be much enjoying years of careful planning of participating science universities, technology developments and huge investment at last has given the fruitful result. A week ago, two Turkish astronouts (astroturks in Turkish language) successfully were launched to complete the first Turkish space mission on International Space Station completely funded by some of richest Turkish businessmen who are not only interested in their “les sucettes d’argent pour la gorge” (A common French idiom used in Limoges) telecommunications and retail chain businesses but also science and space. The astroturks are planned to stay at the station almost 35 days more until the completion of the mission.

The Earth really looks impressive in this photo and I am sure that the overall consciousness of new space exploration possibilities has increased confidence in the future of our nation as well.

Well you can wonder what these boys are doing in such position. Don’t have evil ideas instantly Actually it is an entertaining traditional Turkish game played in two teams. There are donkey team and jumpers team. Jumpers try to crash the donkey line by jumping on them. If they become successful they get the points. There is in most cases a prize like baklava or something similar to eat for the winners. Many people have backaches or other problems with their spines in Turkey and non surprisingly they played this games in their young times !

First of all, these films were produced by serious intentions and considered great at that times (70s) in Turkey, but the results are really funny and pathetic according to our 2000s mind. If you watch them until the end, possibly you will want to commit suicide or to make some weird things. Click on thumbnails to watch them.

Did you know that Turkish cinema produced the most number of western films after Americans and Italians (spagetti western)? The Turkish western film invasion began in 1967 and continued almost 7 years resulting in more than 100 films and surely lots of laughs. Almost all famous film stars of those years had taken roles in these low budget movies.

It is so funny watching Cangos, Ringos, Gringos, bad bandits, cruel barons, “Turkish” Mexican babes, scheriffs and redhead indians knowing that our culture and people are totally different. Here are some posters from this period. Notice the film names like “Ringo against Gestapo !!“, “Zapata” and “Zagor” :))

Turkish cinema also owns a high number of famous film ripoffs like Superman, Batman, Star Trek, Exorcist etc. You can watch them daily to fight with stress and feel the real absurd. Here are the Turkish Film Ripoffs.
