1000places > TURKEY - When we left for Turkey on March 27, 2008, we weren't sure what to expect. The country defies easy description. Both East and West - and in some ways, neither. Secular yet Islamic. Slightly larger than Texas but extraordinarily diverse in geography and culture. More ancient ruins than Greece, yet it has existed as a nation only since 1923. Deeply wary of foreign intrusion, it is one of the world's ten most visited countries. Over the next two weeks, we would find learn about this complex and fascinating country.
