That’s interesting about the Turks.

I liked Germany - many beautiful places there. And the feather beds!!!

It is nice here.

I’d say about a good 90% of my neighbors are Turks. I’m known as “Mr. America” in my neighborhood.

As far as the religious makeup here, the majority of Turks are Sunni (which is to be expected), but we have (in my little area) a strong contingent of Alvei’s (Shia pacifist humanists) and Sufi’s (navel-gazers). Hell, I don’t need to travel to Istanbul to see a whirling dervish in the flesh....I can just go upstairs! And as far as that goes, I simply cannot for the life of me understand how it’s physically possible for someone to spin for 10 minutes continuously without falling flat on one’s face or throwing up.

We have one church (Protestant, and empty) about 500 yards away, another about 300 yards away (Catholic, and usually empty), not far from me a Seventh-Day-Adventist Church (full, mostly with African immigrants), and of course, mosques galore. One of which I thought was a bank-it certainly looks like one.
