On assignment in Turkey in February I was able to spend time in the capital of Ankara and learn of Ataturk. His story is remarkable - a man ahead of his time. Then onto the markets of Istanbul...the center of the world where East meets West. Bringing home the most expensive spice in the world "saffron" from Iran was an experience all on it's on...haggling in the Spice Market...getting a lesson from a gentleman whose family has been selling it for generations...and then the weighing and sealing. I bought three grams for about $50.00 Canadian. You should taste Scoopette's rice now! Scoop.
