TURKEY LOVES ITS CATS -- 11


THE KEDI OF BURSA'S COVERED MARKET DISTRICT

Waiting for a Beggar’s Banquet.

After taking the fast ferry from Istanbul, you land in the port of Mudanya.

For a few dollars, and a pair of bus changes, you can get to the historic part of Bursa.

It takes a bit longer than an hour.

If you want curb to curb taxi service, it only takes about a half hour.

For this convenience, you will part with about 90 Turkish Lira = about $25 USD, still a huge bargain.

And you get to talk to your driver the whole way, even if neither of you speak more than 100 words in each other’s language.


You will still end your ride knowing your hack driver loves the LA Lakers, his kids love Burger King (much to his disdain) and you are entering the greenest big city in all of Turkey.
