European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 27, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Men dance in a neighbourhood Street. Night is a time for men to enjoy the company of one another. A boy carries a Toad of bread. Night take a walk at night through the dimly lit streets of a City like Adana in Southern Turkey and it s Likely that you can find new and unexpected adventures a every turn. The smells of Kebab carts lure the subjects of even the slightest of hunger pangs. Smiling turks Greet the american visitors with funny but Friendly sounding hellos from people just looking for the Chance to speak to a Westerner or practice English. It s easy to find that turks Are probably one of the most congenial and genuine Peoples. You re Likely to be invited to Sample a pastry or handful of nuts with no obligation to buy from a Street Vendor or be escorted into a cafe to Sample the soup of the Day. You can take a walk Down the Back streets and find yourself on the Doorstep of smoke filled coffeehouse looking in on a card game. And because it s important to turks that guests in their country feel Welcome you la probably get an invitation to join in or at least share in a cup of Cai the Tea that is constant part of turkish life. And if the Dusty night air in t disturbed by sounds of honking taxis it May be by the sound of a Street Side three piece band and people dancing in the streets celebrating the last hours of Bachelor Hood for a bridegroom. It s not just the sights at night. It s not just the people at night. It s a combination of both no matter where it is. A Cook slices Doner Kebab the turkish equivalent of Creek gyros.
