Again, for the time being, I don't know which one, I went on vacation to Turkey. This time it was a small bit more rich, due to the fact that the 5 star and ultra all inclusive hotel, which resulted in the fact that for 7 days of my stay I could not even effort everything, from what they offered the kitchen and bar. However, not only this kind of pleasance and blissful vacation by the sea engaged me due to the fact that it was possible to make any observations or penetrate the nearest area.
As for hotel guests, again, possibly even more than a year ago, the Russians were most widely represented. Rather, a specified mediate class, frequently multigenerational families with children, acting calmly and temperedly.
It seems that the war does not bother the Russians besides much, since, even now, they are so numerously going to Turkey for vacation and especially to these better hotels, they play and staffing with them due to the fact that they give the highest tips. The tourism manufacture in Turkey has adapted to this, as well as waiters, animators, but besides masseurs, traders and providers of another services, besides talk very well Russian and it seemed that many of them might have been visitors from the erstwhile russian republics, where this language is in common use.
You can besides see any changes in relation to what happened a fewer years earlier. Last year there were visible visitors from Ukraine, who sometimes, especially on the beach, entered verbal clashes with the Russians, which was the consequence of the armed confrontation between these countries.
Now I have not met any Ukrainians at the hotel, which would indicate that at least in Turkey, from better hotels, they were disowned by the Russians. Although Russia's victories in this war may not be any closer, it is simply a sign.
From another visible changes, it should be pointed out that German pensioners have become, unlike what was before the pandemic, small visible. possibly that's good, due to the fact that seeing old Germans sunbathing topless on Cleopatra's celebrated beach in Alanya was not, for aesthetic reasons, the view I would like to see again.
The Germans themselves, of course, were in the hotel, but more few, younger and not as loud as a twelve years ago, erstwhile it seemed that noisy German pensioners were gaining the planet as if they wanted to compensate for the fact that they did not conquer the planet erstwhile they were young driving tanks and in Hugo Boss's uniforms.
I watched 1 animation, where the leader called for talking, 1 by one, resting from different countries, and it looked like the storm was erstwhile the Russians spoke; you could hear Poles, Italians, Romanians, Swedes, or even Czechs, Azerbaijan or Koreans, but erstwhile he called on the Germans, the answer was silence. Then he asked them to rise their hands, number – eins, zwei, drei – and that's it. Everyone laughed about it.
As for applicable remarks, it is simply a challenge for tourists in Turkey to have access to the Internet. It's not about his existence, it's about a price that might prove very high. any people manage to buy a Turkish operator's card, valid for a month, but it costs EUR 55, which is besides a lot. I bought in Orange, valid for 15 days, a 10 GB package, which cost PLN 79 and turned out to be rather adequate for 2 people per week.
At the end of the stay, erstwhile the real period had begun, a larger number of Turks appeared in the hotel. There was considerable variation in women's outfits. A large part, and more young women, did not usage bikinis by the sea and more costumes covering a large part of the body. This shows that in Turkey, Westernization, which was forced a 100 years ago by Atatürk, did not win and now goes back more than it does.
It can be seen that a liberal progressive model of life is not the only possible one, and following this way is not determined even in Turkey, where it was thought that the alleged "progress" had already won.
I saw an older Turkish couple, most likely retired, standing next to me, dressed according to Western customs, and with which disapproval they looked at the young Turks passing by wearing costumes covering almost the full body and in addition in black, a manifestation of attachment to conventional Islam. These pensioners, who most likely spent their full active lives wanting Turkey to be the same as in the West, now see that they are losing and the shuttle is going the another way.
And next to these Turkish women in swimwear conforming to the principles of Islam, many Russians with large golden Orthodox crosses on their necks could be seen, which is besides a customized which they wanted for a long time to completely eradicate in Russia.
Meanwhile, Turkey is becoming increasingly crucial as a bridge between Europe and Asia. And since Asia is beginning to dominate the planet economically and the importance of transatlantic routes linking Europe to America, for the first time since Columbus, has been decreasing, it is all the more crucial to Turkey, which controls crucial routes to Asia.
Istanbul Airport is present the second port in Europe in terms of the number of passengers served. And even the provincial port in Antalya, which I utilized to use, is almost twice as large as the airport of Szopena in Warsaw, while Polish regional airports are chickens compared to Antalya.
Unfortunately, it seems that the current Polish government, blocking and delaying the CPK, possibly wants specified a state, absolutely not responding to our needs and ambitions, to fix for a very long time.
