Ankara is definately one of the most beautiful and smoothly functioning citys of its size that I know of!

We have had the privilege of a couple of days in the Turan home here sharing their hospitality, as well  as a bit of their everyday family life and their ordinary workdays. Vacation starts for them on Saterday - and we will begin a 7-8 hour car trip toward the coast. These days have given us the chance to notice many admirable details in the Turkish lifestyle and culture, that to us are so beautiful and somewhat unique.
