When I visited the States in 1975 after living and working in Europe for 7 years, my sister Hillary jokingly told me that I reminded her of The Fonz...And I had no idea what she was talking about. And when Peri visited Turkey after living in the States continuously between 1976 and 1979, she drew a total blank when her brother began referring to the 1978 Riots in Maraş. There was almost no Stateside access to Turkish News back then, so her knowledge of those riotous events (which had left more than 100 dead), was nil. And she was completely in the dark about the significance of her brother's words. As those two mini-stories illustrate, Peri and I had both been victims of...

The Swinging Beachcomber's Guide to
Summer Romance in Turkey
2/4
Don't go to the beachside in a same-sex group, it'll reduce your chances of making a personal connection. Go by yourself. The beach is already filled with men and women, so if you take your same sex friends with you, it's like "taking coals to Newcastle" -- or as a Turk would say, it's like "opening a pastrami shop in Kayseri..."
