Guess my nationality.... Korean? Japanese? Brazilian?

Guessing nationalities is one of the favorite pastimes of the shop keepers at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. As you my guess they have a pretty tough time guessing mine. It is just one of the many ways they get you talking and browsing their little shop.
We have made our way from Istanbul in the north west of turkey to the south west coast and are now pretty much in the dead center of the country.

Istanbul is a crazy place with some even crazier taxi drivers. So far we have had four taxis racing formula one style against each other to see who could get their patrons to the night club faster and a taxi driver that when I showed him the card to our hostel he told me he couldn't see! There was also the driver who had two cell phones, one for each of his girl friends so he wouldn't get them mixed up.

The coast is awesome but the interior is just plain bizarre. They have an area named Cappadocia which has a series of underground cities and man made caves cut into the rock. The underground cities are no longer in use but some of the caves are still being used and one of our hotels was using them as the rooms for guests... it was nice and cool but a little eerie.

We have another week here before we hit the Czech Rep. Not sure what the plan is just yet but it is back to Istanbul for now.
