Yes. Go to Turkey!

Here is a link to an excellent blog entry on ten top things to do in Turkey for expat visitors.  Now and this year! As the article points out Turkey is a big country, really almost a subcontinent. Yes there are political issues and challenges, but, sadly that state of affairs is all too widespread in Europe, in the US and elsewhere.  And any writer who notes that Turkey is a 'magical' country has my vote... not perfect but endlessly fascinating, hospitable and yes, magical.  And, it is eminently affordable these days.
