As far as bus rides go - our tour's chosen mode of transport - I have to say that, from the ones we've used, Turkish bus companies do their nation proud.Both the large and small coaches have been comfortable, with air-con, padded seats and even a maître d' (vest and tie optional). Yes, throughout each journey a little man waddles up and down the aisle serving us tea or coffee(mate), packed cakes and bottled water. The tickets aren't super cheap but still their level of service should be commended.
And we get audio visual entertainment too. The TV is generally set on a Turkish music channel but language barriers aside they're a lot like Western filmclips: a bunch of half naked men and women shaking their asses. Which is strange, for a predominately Muslim country.
I thought I'd give you guys links to some of the best.
Today's plug goes to Tarkan, a German-born Turkish pop singer - likened to Elvis... Go on. Press play!
