1 infidel, 2 infidels, 3 infidels, 4

İn Goreme, before the 5AM call to prayer during Ramadan, there would be a drummer walking through Goreme. The drumming would change in intensity. It sounded like a prelude to an execution. This noisy curtesy call actually was to get people up to eat before sunrise. Our İnfidel ears said ''Shut up!''
We are now ın Konya, a traditional city. The shop window displays are very interesting. They compete for women's attention-some have very flashy clothing on the manequins. Next door will be manequins in more conservative clothing with headscarves on. Another solution to the head scarf issue seems to be having no head on the manequin at all.
Konya is very busy tearing down all its historic areas and replacing them with high rise apartments and shopping malls that look modelled on Soviet Union architecture. Not a pretty sight.
