3.0 out of 5 stars
More for residents than tourists,
By Meredith "Bear" (Las Cruces, New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cultureshock! Turkey (Cultureshock Turkey: A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)
This book was not as helpful to us for our trip to Turkey as "Culture Shock--France" was before we went to France for the first time. There was some information on casual interactions, customs, and language that was helpful, but large parts of the book are aimed at people going there to live rather than as tourists.
If you are going to Turkey to live, even for a short time, I would highly recommend this book. If you are going for a brief tourist visit, most of the information you need for that is available elsewhere. By the way, if you're reading this, you probably already know this, but there are a lot of misconceptions about Turkey. We loved it, people were friendly, it was not at all scary. I'm moved to add this because of the reactions we've gotten from some people when they hear we went to Turkey. Go ahead and go! Don't hesitate! Probably a tour is good for the first visit. |
