The living conditions of China people in Turkey

Compared with pickpockets in new york and Rome, Turkey is much safer. Islam spurns being a thief, so there is little chance of being stripped and taken away. However, we should pay attention to crowded markets. It is also very likely that children who sell gadgets or carpets pester adults to let you buy them. At this time, you stand up or shake your head firmly or say that you have bought it. And beware of gypsies wandering around.

eat

Turkey is a Muslim country. Don't bring canned pork into the country. It is best to avoid eating in seafood restaurants in Istanbul. They are famous knockoffs. Many things that should be included, such as bread and water, are too big for tourists to explain. They are tired of it.

clothes

Leather goods in Turkey are cheaper than those in Spain or Italy, and the quality is not bad. Unless it's a department store that doesn't bargain (it's also cost-effective to buy it at a discount), other shopping malls should remember to bargain, at least from half. You increase a little, he decreases a little. In principle, bargaining only starts when you like something.

on one's pins

Is the hotel safe? According to experience, second, third, fourth and five-star hotels have insurance, but pensions are not guaranteed. Turks are slow to do things, but driving seems to be desperate. Remember to stop, listen and watch when crossing the street. It is best to choose famous and old brands such as Varan and Ulusoy with guaranteed quality by long-distance bus, which is comfortable and safe. Turkey's road facilities are perfect, and long-distance buses are mostly luxury Mercedes-Benz, which is worth a try.

rear

Remember to take off your shoes when visiting the mosque, and female readers remember to wear headscarves. Many headscarves are borrowed from tourists in front of famous mosques. In summer, tourists wearing shorts are all around them. Wearing shorts and headscarves is considered disheveled. Fortunately, they all think of tourists and do as the Romans do. Don't take pictures of uniformed soldiers or policemen casually, you should ask for permission first.

happy

Young people with money and leisure like to go to discos and pubs at night. If you are single and want to take a taxi when you leave, you can ask the bartender for help. If someone offers a lift, you'd better refuse.

Some Turkish men will pay great attention to single female tourists, depending on your mood and needs, be careful. Turks are a formal people, from clothing to etiquette. When friends meet, they kiss their left and right cheeks first, and shake hands with strangers. Take off your shoes when you visit someone else's house. Don't blow your nose in public, don't cuddle with your lover in public. These are considered unsightly.
