I did not see even once anyone throwing rubbish anywhere other than in a receptacle meant for it. Strict observance of cleanliness is a way of life in Turkey. The standard of living has gone up many folds over the past three decades. Roads are full of newer model cars. Almost all of these are manufactured or assembled locally.
Banks extend credits at a lower interest rate for the purchase of cars, flats and furniture.
The Turks like to dress well and higher incomes have enables them to indulge in their sartorial tastes. All men, even young schoolboys wear suits and ties, some three-piece. Their clothes are patterned more on the European style. While men wear full suits, women sport tight, stretchable pants, blouses or sweaters. I had not seen, during the period of my posting in Turkey, so many women in this conservative attire.
