English Turkey

Something weird happens daily on this land !

Auto on a Tree
We have seen many people who are in love with their cars but this one really shocked us. Recep Yayla from Turkish city Sakarya put his old Bettle on a tree in his garden to see it easily every day.

I am determined !

As you maybe already know, tea especially black tea is the center of Turkish daily life. There are special places called ‘Cay Ocagi’ in the streets which service tea to the shops, restaurants and other places. Here our hero shows his acrobatic skills to bring tea to the needed destination with the help of his gadgets. Flood or not flood life goes on!

Imam Tarkan welcomes you !

It is already a known fact that Turkey is in big troubles and a serious danger becoming an Arabian Religious Country! By the latest assembly and presidental elections this evil process becomes more clear.

Our unique worldwide (Actually I think he is only popular in Russia) famous Tarkan comes with a new album called Metamorfoz! Shame on you Tarkan!

This new style makes us more worried about our country. We want you to shine as a modern man like you do before. Well it was not superb but nothing can be worse than this.

What the fu.. is that imam beard on you with geeky tie and custom!

We had recently talked about how Wordpress was banned. This time, we achieved to get the Oscar. Recently, Turkish singer, actor and later director Mahsun Kirmizigul applied to them claiming that his film Beyaz Melek (White Angel) is being distributed illegally on several torrent websites including IMDB ! Can you imagine IMDB as an illegal torrent site? Anyway, the courts make such ban decisions and Turk Telekom applies. It is told that the very talented tech. guys of Turk Telekom banned imbd.com instead of imdb.com with the intention of banning IMDB. Imbd : This is just a parked domain name taking advantage of IMDB. We should ask several questions here.

1) Don’t they have an idea of what Imdb.com is?

2) Do they have right to cut the access to every website they don’t like?

3) What is next? Google? Yahoo? Blogger? Microsoft ????????

4) Millions of people are paying them for Internet service, are these people stupid to pay?

6) Let’s learn again the difference on domain names, please: imdb.com and imbd.com are different. OK?

Tourism is one of the money income backbones of the Turkey. Each year millions of people visit to Turkey. So, the government regularly commissions to create attractive tourism videos. Eventhough the results aren’t always in high quality this video is interesting and I think the blend of old & new and east & west figures are perfect.

This is the horse from the Hollywood movie Troy. It was given as gift to the town of Canakkale

Trojan Horse in Gallipoli

And the previous wooden Trojan Horse copy staying in Ciplakkoy – Canakkale.

The Old Trojan Horse

It is interesting to see especially the first horse in the center of the city after watching it in the famous film Troy.

Soccer Victory?!Turkey has won a legendary victory against Czech Republic in Euro 2008 bringing score to 3-2 from 0-2 in just 15 minutes. What I will tell is not the praise of this match but a tradition, actually an awful tradition which is applied by many ignorant soccer fans. I decided to write at last hearing that terrible sound (the informer of stupid death) exploding around the buildings on my street where I live (regarded as one the most modern areas in Istanbul)

Briefly, these ignorant people take their pistols, go to balconies and shoot to the sky many times to show their joy after such football victories!! Well, sometimes (as expected by clever ones) they fail on the directions and the bullets don’t go to the sky but to the other innocent people who are walking on the streets, sitting in balconies or even at homes. After every important match it is natural to hear in tvs and radios that one, two people died and several wounded by these bloody f..ked monsters. Should I say more? Maybe, they should buy a musical keyboard to produce the sound of the bullets for better ear pleasure. But, no! Unfortunately the ignorance and the musical sound of some people of this country seems to be an eternal dark cycle and we have to continue live with the reptiles.
A late addition: Actually, this tradition also takes lives in the celebrations of weddings and even in the new year nights!

Wordpress is banned !
Access to this site has been suspended in accordance with decision no blabbalalala

This is the website you will get if you try to browse Wordpress.com and many other sites.

Well, I know that the title is rather direct and provocative, but it is almost true. I will tell why almost. Turk Telekom is the main internet service provider in Turkey and has millions of users. Everything is usual up to now, but one defect. They can ban any website according to a court’s decision. The court bans and they just apply. See something bad and ban everything completely. If you haven’t heard of yet but they had closed (and continue time to time) Youtube completely for their users before, just because of some videos. After long discussions, they could understand that it is not the correct way and opened it. Now, I see that our lovely wordpress.com is banned too. I am very angry. Why to ban millions of blogs just because of some crap (Just some court didn’t like it, they close also every porn site they see in Google Search meaninglessly, hahahahaha millions exist)? This kind of behavior just makes Turkish youth to use web proxies and they further become lamers and sometimes future hackers because of over thinking to overcome the barriers :) ) Nothing can stop our testosterone powered youth to reach porn and harmful stuff. Go folks! Hmmm.. Maybe to ban EnglishTurkey.com or better Internet completely?! Final solution. Shame for us!
