There has been a "comment explosion" over at Amerikan Turk these past two days.. (Try not to think of Borat) Thanks for the link Deb. I just translated a Hrant Dink video for some friends at Brown University. We're having some sort of Turkish-Armenian friendship concert, and before-hand we are going to show this video and someone is going to read my translation to the audience. I posted the rough draft on AT, the Brown folks may revise it.. It's a good clip of Hrant Dink. He tells a great story and I hope I did it justice. Speaking of comments..

I think that is probably due to you and Murat. Or maybe it is a reflection of the strength and friendship ties between the particular blogging community. A commenting campaign is a good thing. :) Besides, I find so many new blogs out there just by people commenting. Metin,

But I am always amazed at the number of comments left on 'Turkey' themed posts, as opposed to Kurd-related and others. Are the Turks waiting for the most opportune time to voice their opinions on what really matters to them? I can't help but think the Turks usually cannot wait for any audience to speak their mind. It puzzles me. So maybe I will start a 'comment' campaign as well. If you haven't left at least 10 comments a day in blogistan, then you are not a blog-literate. What do you think?

As I wander through the streets of Istanbul, I notice that where once was a beautiful older building now sits a supposedly fashionable new apartment which has about as much beauty as the Darth Vader building in downtown Sacramento. It's all the rage now to knock down nice, old buildings in favor of the French style apartment buildings. Ugh! What happened to lovely balconies that beckoned neighbors to socialize in the summer or after work. No, let's knock that down too, and soon the Turks will only have remnants of their former culture. This truly grieves me. Garfucius has hit the nail on the head!
