Don't you think you are overreacting? The Turks are among the most hospitable people in the world and they have a good sense of humour too. If you have a chance to visit, say, İstanbul, you would be a complete idiot to miss it. İstanbul is a country by itself, a huge sprawling city with a riverfront that hasn't been destroyed by developers, it has layer upon layer of magnificent history, great food, bookshops and libraries, incredible antiques, storytellers on streetcorners, beautiful women, nightlife, &cetera &cetera. And in the early morning you sit down in one the docks with coffee and a ciggy and watch the sun rise thorugh the Bosporus fog.
