With so much to do in the country, it makes sense that Turkey
invented the steam bath, or the Turkish bath.
The great one is the Cagaloglu Baths, built in the 1700s. What's
unique is that they've been doing it since the Middle Ages. They
have
massage, body scrub, the whole thing.
I loved your hellion-like character in The Constant Gardener.
She was so adventurous! What would she do in Turkey?
She would look for injustice and try to put an end to it. There are
victims of poverty and injustice everywhere. So she'd go looking
for trouble.
I bet she'd find it there, right?
Oh, yeah. Of course.
