Doesn't the "Çanakkale" province have territory on both continents?

[MrDenocan]

@xxWarbloodxx Province has but ıstanbul built on the two different continents. Canakkale as a city did not built on two continents

[RuniTravel]

@MrDenocan Its a historical & tectonic wonder ... we used to call it Constantinopolis, named after Ceasar Constantin ;-)

@Badwolf182 not really. You must speak turkish in some level. But people are extremely warm and attentive to foreigners.

[Badwolf182]

Turkey is literally the line where East meets West. What an intoxiating combinaton. I have always dreamt of going to Turkey and would love to live there. Does anyone know if most of Turkish ppl speak English too?

[ratzP]

@Badwolf182 no,,most Turkish ppl speak Arabic = mother-tongue

[RuniTravel]

[aporia82]

@ratzP are you really that much ignorant, or is it a joke ?

[ratzP]

@aporia82 y r u ashamed of ur Arabic heritage? its exotic ahahaha

[aporia82]

@ratzP well I can't be ashamed of something which doesn't exist. Turks were using the Arabic alphabet but their mother language has never been Arabic in any time of history. You are pretty funny and ignorant :)

[ratzP]

@aporia82 listen exotic-FEZ-boy,,put ur listening ears on,,we

dont want any more minarets in the EU,,they r sooo ugly and

sooo islamic = troublesome beasties from the easties FREEKY

[aporia82]

@ratzP any IQ there ?

[ratzP]

@aporia82 ...that FEZ of urs gives the game away SHAME

[aporia82]

@ratzP For your information Turks doesn't wear fez since 1923. The new republic forbid it because it was an Ottoman symbol. Besides Greeks wore fez for 400 years and it is still a part of the traditional Greek military uniform. Ignorance is funny.

[ratzP]

@aporia82 u talk shit,,ive never seen a Greek wearing a Turkish FEZ

maybe in a comedy sketch when celebrating 1821 = fuck a Turk day!!!

[rusalka6981]

It's funny how Arab tourists are shown as exotic locals :).
