Dad is going to Turkey for a week, suggestions?

[Excelsior]

He is going on business, will be there for a week, and any suggestions from those here who have been to Turkey would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I am going to buy him/myself travel charger for some NiMH batteries. What would you all suggest?

Liverpool/AC Milan Champions League final will be in Istanbul on May 25th. That's about all I know about Turkey.

Don't try and smuggle out any HASH!

 

[Slacker]

There is a package at a small shop on Abdi Karataban in Marmaris, put the envelope on the counter(1) and ask for a pack of watermelon bubbleyum tape the package to the back of your left thigh, when you get to the airport go through the line with the guard wearing the RED beret, call me(2) when you are safe.

1. p.m. me your addy so I can get the envelope to you.
2. a payphone # will be provided in the return p.m.

Take one of those great big outdoor deepfryers and 5 gallons of peanut oil?

Yeah, he LOVES pistachios.

I've heard that some of their beer contains hash or some other narcotic in it. I seem to recall an Army unit on post when my dad was stationed in Germany that bought a keg of Turkish beer and the whole unit pissed hot on their drug test, commander included. Am I remembering that story right? Do they "spike" their beer in Turkey?

 

[aircooled]

make sure he wears a condom

 

[Lobstar]

Watch out for stuff blowing up.

 

[Wag]

Go outside and yell, "I'm an American Jew!" really loud?

 

[RU482]

bring me back a drumstick

 

[feralkid]

In other words watch out for rioting British soccer fans!

Tell him to avoid the espresso, he might not sleep for a week if he has some.

 

[LtPage1]

stuffing!

 

[foofoo]

someone has to do it straight....

if he's only got a week, you can spend that all in instabul and the locel area. the main things are the topkapi palace and the blue mosque, etc. lots of cool things.
the food absoultely rocks and if you head down the coast the best greek and roman cities are there.
also, check out the bazars, they are pretty cool. not a lot of bars and stuff (muslim country) but there's some cool stuff over by the university.
i'd reccomend checking out cappadocia if you have more time but you cant really go wrong throughout most of turkey.
i spent a month there travelling with an ex-girlfriend and it was one of the coolest places i've ever been.

also, my spelling sucks

I'm Hungary for some Turkey
