turkish vacation
« on: 07 May 2022, 13:06:37 »

having just booked a 2wk stay in Icmeler I was surprised to find out that a visitor does no longer need to put a £10 note in thier passport to obtain a entry visa. plus no change given if one happened to only had £20,s which caught many a couple out if they thought a 20 would pay for both visa,s. also according to other sources obtain turkish lira by changing sterling over there for a better rate. anyway first job change money then a visit to a turkish barbers  followed by a turkish bath.  footnote it will be almost 60 yrs to a day since i visited Istanbul as a 16 yr old deckboy, my first trip to sea

Yes, but inflation is running at about 70%. If you pay £2 for a beer on Monday it will be a fiver by Friday  ;D

Ah yes I forgot about Turkish inflation!  :o

I've been conditioned by the British mainstream media that the UK has the worst inflation and cost of living crisis......  In the world!  ::)  ;D

Derived from the French 'vacance', shares its origins in vavancy/vacant as in unoccupied.

English 'holiday' originates in Holy Day, namely Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Christmas Day.

So whilst we holiday out of tradition, most other places vacate.
