Hi! I'm going to write about my partner's country and their customs and traditions.



  • Greetings:

In Turkey you have to shake hands when you meet somebody. Although with your friends you can kiss on both cheeks and have physical contact between men a women.

  • Clothes:

It is not an obligation for women to wear a head scarf. However, some women wear it for their religion. Apart from this, everybody can wear all kinds of clothes, even shorts ans skirts.

  • Food and drink:

They eat three times a day: breakfast, dinner and lunch. For breakfast they drink tea and orange juice and eat eggs. For lunch they have salads, hamburgers, toast, kebabs and other things. Finally, for dinner, their most important meal, they eat soup, salads and meat like chicken and kebabs.

  • Culture:

In Turkey there are various religions. It is the most important thing about their culture, although they don't have to pray daily like in other places.

  • In public:

They have rules from the government such as they must not smoke in public buildings, but you are allowed smoke outside.
