If you know a
bit of Turkish, then you probably notice how older women often refer to you as
"sweet heart" or "my love," even if they don't know
you.
This says a
lot about how warm Turkish culture is, in which even strangers are treated with
affection and kindness, right from the first interaction. As with other
countries on this list, Turkey has always been at the crossroads of several
cultures, being an important point of contact between the Middle East and
Europe.
As a result,
it has become an expert in maintaining its own unique culture while welcoming
and celebrating other customs.
