It's not that I find so depressing. What really disappoints me is we see Turkey showing it's ill informed critics that it is becoming a real player - hosting the Champions League final, getting on the F1 diary - amazing progress and modern, cutting edge cities.
Then people who think it is a backward nation take a chance on Turkey and rather than seeing glitzy Istanbul or somewhere bustling like Izmir, they just by chance end up half way up a mountain in Hisaronu - where their bigoted views of primitive life are confirmed as they open their curtains and see two magnificent full size dolphins bobbing around in a small swimming pool between the central area bars of a Magaluf style holiday resort.
You simply couldn't write it. Everything they do, everything we all do to promote Turkey as a place totally unlike newcomers preconceptions heads down the pan because nobody stood up and said "no".
