My intention was to go to Bursa with Fatma Nur to find some musical instruments. That did not quite work out but as usual we loved the trip and discovered new things. We meet people all over who want to talk to us. They all want to know what we think of Turkey. The answer OF COURSE is that we love it. This place is so vibrant, people active talking relaxing in cafes drinking chai.
