I had to fly into Adana once....arriving on day one of the new new airport opening. We land and it was fairly haphazard over getting off the plane. We walked off the stairway and stood there on the tarmac...disorganization ensued. Finally, they led us on some kind of walk (half-a-mile) to the edge of the terminal itself. I needed to utilize the restroom, so I stopped at that point and found the nearest WC. I stood there at the urinal and did my business, and then heard this odd noise....like liquids hitting the floor. I looked down and realized that the urinal was simply attached to the wall, with no pipe connected to the floor. All six urinals were the same way. Brand new airport, and this? I got my bag and got out.

There to greet me was a taxi guy, in a cab with zero suspension. When I stepped into the car...it actually leaned over about four inches. With every bounce on the streets....you’d leap about half-a-foot into the air.

I think everyone needs to spend a week in Turkey....to appreciate civilization and where we are today.

That sounds about right, I was amazed by the cabs there.

I will say though, I was doing some NATO stuff, so the hotel I was in was pretty nice.
