Shop next to the road
3rd February 2016
Today I would like to show you a small shop next on the road which I came across in Cappadoccia in Turkey. The old woman - shop assistant was very nice and the items were original and cheap..
It is a great opportunity to buy something nice and not too expensive
Lucky you were in Turkey before the refugee invasion. The country is in a turmoil at present - what to do and what not to do?? And the Russians are bloody annoying them with airspace violations! Turkey and Australia have very close wonderful "bonded relations" due to Gallipoli in WW1. With the present situation come Anzac Day ceremonies on the Gallipoli foreshore this year - 25th April, it will be interesting to see what alerts etc are put in place. Shocking business. Google "Gallipoli Ceremonies" for more information. Cheers Colin
I'm aware of those 'blue eye things', and I can't understand how people in many countries are so superstitious. Have researched and read and still don't understand.
I like to shop in small local shops, too, and especially to give my money to the person who made the item. We try to shop local and handmade as much as possible and support people rather than huge stores like Walmart. I hope this lady's shop is very successful!
