Men almost never wear shorts.

In the eastern cities, men don’t wear shorts due to their traditions and conservative views. In general, men tend to be pretty uniform in their clothing.

 

"My husband has some Turkish friends, and they told us that a Turkish man wouldn’t wear shorts; he always wears long pants, even if it’s hot."

 

Waiters spray cologne on guests.

After meals, it’s customary to proffer the open palms of your hands to your waiter when they pass by with a small dispenser of cologne.

 

Turks love yogurt and add it to various dishes.

Turks are the only nation in the world that consumes yogurt in enormous quantities. They add yogurt to multiple dishes: pasta, soups, vegetables, meat dishes, dumplings, you name it.

In Turkey, they use solar panels widely.

Turks are way ahead of many countries in using solar energy to heat houses. Many houses and apartment buildings have solar energy devices.

 

Turkish men like watching construction work.

"Last year, I watched a funny video about Turkey. It was stated there that middle-aged and old Turkish men like watching construction work. It’s like a hobby in Turkey. I couldn’t believe it. Then I asked a friend of mine who was both born and also grew up there until the age of 28, and she confirmed that Turkish men love watching and commenting about construction work."

 

They like to wear clothes with English words printed on them.

Girls love wearing T-shirts with random English sentences on them like “Why bother” or even just “YES!” printed in the middle.

They have complimentary hairspray in restrooms.

Some restaurants and cafes have complimentary hairspray and gel for guys to use in the restrooms; they even have hairdryers.

 

"In the UK, there’s an unspoken rule that a straight man doesn’t look in the mirror for more than 5 seconds in a restaurant’s bathroom, but in Turkey, guys give themselves a full-on makeover."

 

There is a nap zone at the Istanbul airport.
They cover their cars with blankets and rugs.

It turns out that Turks do this to protect their cars from hail. They can also use cardboard and bubble wrap. This is absolutely normal in Turkey.

 

In Turkey, sitting cross-legged is considered impolite, especially in front of elders.
