Why oh why would an airport furnish their departure lounge with park benches? They are wooden with a fancy steel trim and incredibly uncomfortable. the only obvious reason being that they want you on your feet so you shop shop shop! How many Turkish delights can one buy?
Hands down, the funniest thing I saw in Istanbul was a chain of home appliance stores called "Arcelik". How does one pronounce that?
cab drivers are amusing. Not all of them know where they are going and just stop in the middle of the road to ask people how to get to destinations and still get lost. When they know full well you cannot speak English, they speak to you in Turkish and get you to agree to something just so they can justify getting lost and charging you triple the actual distance!
Christmas trees are still up over here. Funnier given it's a largely Islamic state.
