Two tourists were driving through Turkey. As they were approaching Fethiye, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town's name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch.

As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the employee," Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are:very slowly?"

The employee leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrr gerrrrrr Kiiiing."

:D

Hi everyone
We went into the newly opened Burger King this morning.  It was packed with locals and expats.  For us (an English/Turkish couple with a 4 year old) it could not have been more perfect.  I miss the whoppers!!, my husband was very excited about it's arrival, as are many locals from the looks of things, and as a guest in this country I have no right to say anything against that.  But really the icing on the cake for us was the soft play area on the 1st floor designated for 4-10 year olds.  It is only very small but it kept our little one very very happy for a short time.  This is something severely lacking in Fethiye/Calis.  (If someone can prove me wrong on this I would be eternally grateful!!)  The toilets are clean but are on the 3rd floor and in true style there are no lifts/disabled access.  There is a lovely open air terrace which might be for smoking, the rest of the restaurant is thankfully for me no smoking!!!  The service was slow and the queueing system non-existent but who cares, I will eat one hundred of the 1TL ice creams just to sit and watch my little girl play in the soft play area!!!Hope this helps

Turks have a different mentality. They see ****e like Burger King as being a sign of a developed country which is understandable given that most of them come from backward places with nothing.
