timppu: Or it could be you inside the vent. Aren't you from Greece, and you and the Turks like hate each other, ever since the dawn of the time?
No? First of all, not all nations and/or countries were around since the dawn of time, or civilization, so this you wrote, at least in the words you put it in, makes no sense. Second, i don't hate neighbors; unless they damage my property somehow. For the time being, all is good.
But how did you ever think i would visit Turkey, in such turbulent times too?
About Thailand, i would gladly visit, but authorities lately removed a large portion of a mainstream, unique tourist attraction, so i now have less than zero reason to go. About Norway, i love northerners, i would gladly go. The only reason i didn't, is exactly that which you mentioned... EXPENSIVE!
You are WISE to keep away from both us and turkey right now, though. Because RAPEFUGEES. People in islands already started forming civilian militia teams, their houses have been robbed dry, continually and are completely unprotected from state and police! Of course, with such wonderful "cultural enrichment" we received and endlessly circulates between turkey and us this time of the year, being robbed has to be the most enjoyable experience (considering alternatives) of interacting with them...
