I never knew it extended all the way to Europe like that! VERY cool!! It's really confusing because of the Black Sea, and how the Ukraine and the Middle east sort of share it. I guess I sort of cut off Asia at the north western side of Mongolia, then south along Kazakhstan and continuing down the full western border of Tibet, sweeping east following the Himalayas above India to Nepal - then straight(ish) east towards China etc. etc. It just doesn't seem very - - Asia(ee) haha! I would have been dumbfounded! Yeah Spain was like that for traffic too, but judging by your comparison - I think I'd do well in Barcelona's traffic as opposed to Istanbul's. Wow!

It's pretty wacky. Some live in Turkey on the Asia side and have to get to work on the Europe side. It's very cool. So some of the time I was in Asia and some in Europe and a couple days both! Of course the further east you go you're heading more towards the middle east, but the areas that I was in are very European. Some things you learn by actually going to a place. The driving here is NOTHING compared to what I experience there. Horrendous traffic. LA times four if I had to estimate, and very congested. But somehow they actually make the trek to be with their people. :) The Bosphorus splits Turkey between Europe and Asia. It’s pretty wacky.

I absolutely loved reading this. I know you've been abroad before, but it's different when it's about people and not about the place. There's traveling to see a place, then there's traveling to experience a place. It's hard to experience it by just being there. This is why on my yearly travels, I typically go to where my friends are. "it's like walking into family" I was confused though. Asia? Like "Mongolia to Japan and Philippines -- Asia??" I looked on the map and searched, couldn't find anything that resembled Asia in Turkey? Maybe I'm dumb for asking, but I also have no shame. ;) Reading this, I utterly know what you were feeling, it's the same thing I experience in Copenhagen, Barcelona, and London. Cherish this, never forget it. I wish LA were designed differently enabling all of us to not rely so heavily on cars. I think a weekly meeting of friends is tainted in a city like ours because everyone convinces themselves that they have just a shred of energy left enough to drive home. Then we stay up till stupid hours of the night tweeting and face booking. Haha. I'm interested in finding a way. Let's make it interesting. :). Challenge our selves to do it, for our own sanity!
