And, the Manisa mesir macunu festivalı! This is an annual festival in Manisa where the İmams (an imam is the head of the mosque) throw mesir macunu (turkish viagra, a sticky candy with lots and lots of spices) off the roof of the mosque. People come from all over the country (and world, hence, myslef) to catch mesir macunu blessed with fertility and such, much better than just buying it. There were people in trees with umbrellas, uside-down to catch it, and the men on the ground were fighting a bit brutally for theirs. Also in the pictures are some toys made by children out of second-hand materials that were on display because of the festival.
Look for the guys in the trees with umbrellas
From my friend's balcony...all that 'glitter' on the ground is mesir macunu wrapper. Typical Manisa crowd.
