SULTAN TRAVEL ....... 1-416-923-7936 (Toronto) SKYTREK ............. 1-613-829-3300 (Ottowa - Leyla Baran) CONNECTION TOURS .... 1-212-486-9633 -> Can I take one or more camera/camcorder/laptop to Turkiye? Yes, but according to law, those should be recorded to your passport at the time of your entrance and they should be checked upon leaving. Usually, the customs officer do not create problems for a single camera/camcorder etc. However, it is a good practice to register them, especially when you have more than one. (..be advised that like most customs officers, they do not care whether you miss your plane or not..) -> Does my <insert any electrical device here> work in Turkiye? 220 volts, 50 Hz. is used in TR instead of the 120 volts, 60 Hz. used in North America. If your device does not mind frequency, it is easy to make it work in TR by the help of an inexpensive transformer. In particular, you may use the small transformers sold at Radio Shack for low-energy consumption (less than 50 watts) devices. If you would like to take a stereo (amplifier, tape deck, tuner etc.), you should buy a powerful 220v.-120v. transformer (preferably from TR, not to carry this heavy thing with you). The amplifier, CD player, tape deck mostly do not create problems. Tuners, on the other hand, has the problem of different frequency spacings of radio stations in the US: AM spacing is 9 kHz instead of 10 kHz and FM spacing is 100 kHz instead of 200 kHz in TR. This means you may not tune AM stations accurately in TR. Finally, some turntables, which controls the pitch with the power supply frequency may create problems: you can adjust the speed manually in many of them, but if this fails, the RPM drops to 5/6 of the origin. -> How can I have a long distance call from Turkiye? (Information about AT&T and MCI provided by Ibrahim Semiz) There are public phones available for this purpose. You need to purchase some tokens from PTT (Turkish Post/Telegraph/Telephone Company). One token is on the order of $1 and you probably need a few for a single call. The long distance code for TR is 90. But the most practical way make international calls from TR (or almost any country for that matter) is to use your calling card. For example, AT&T has services called `USA Direct' and `World Connect', where you dial 99 80 01 22 77 (99 80 01 44 77 for US Sprint) from any phone in TR, and get connected to AT&T. If you are calling a number in the US, you can place your call yourself, assisted by English voice prompts. If you want to call one of the 46 (at last count) countries on AT&T's list, you wait for an operator who assists you (Presumably, such calls would be more expensive). If you are calling from a residence, your host does not get charged anything, or you can make the call from any pay phone with a local (`small') token. Of course, you get the bill from AT&T. This is cheaper than calling from a residence (in TR). I don't know how it compares to calling from public phones with tokens, but it probably is cheaper, and you don't have to struggle to feed tokens to the thing at the rate ! of one every thirty seconds. MCI has a similiar service, on which somebody else may supply details. -> How can I call TR collect from the US? (800 numbers) (by Metin mgokcen@us.oracle.com and Zafer Latif latifz@sunrise.cse.fau.edu) 1-800-VATANIM (1-800-828-2646) via PTT -> New area codes for dialing to Turkiye. [Maintainer's Note: I would like to express my sincere and special thanks to Mr Orhan GOkCol (UCGOKCOL.TRITU.Bitnet) for going thru the effort of sending me the list of the new codes and changes from TR with fax and postal mail. He made it possible to have detailed information about the area code changes, affected cities, and the changes relating to each city. Thank you! ] The area codes for the cities in TR have changed. Calls to another area code in TR start with a '0', and international calls start with '00'. All phone numbers are 7 digits now. The following is a known list of new area codes and a summary of changes for each city. In changing the phone numbers to 7 digits, a number of digits have been inserted in front of the original phone number explained in the comments part of the table below.

(from Ian Davis, summary of responses he received to his survey) Beer: - Efes Pilsen, most people say that this is the best. - Tuborg (originally Danish) - Tekel, pure Turkish but may not be found in Tourist resorts. Soft Drinks: Ayran, sIra, kIzIlcIk, seftali - totally different than anything available in UK. Wine: much better than beer, including KavaklIdere, Villa Doluca. Both red and white are good. -> Ionian Coast Info (from Ian Davis, summary of responses he received to his survey) Shopping: Bodrum is one of the most expensive towns to shop in (40% more expensive than Istanbul).Buying anything must bargin until the shop keeper gives up. If you are looking for more expensive souvenirs, its worth while traveling to other less well know towns in the area. Places to see: The castle in Bodrum ( rebuilt by the knights of St John) is worth a visit. Troy- the famous city is within traveling distance of Bodrum, mostly ruined but still worth a visit. Bergama-site of one of the seven original churches mentioned in the bible. Has nice amphitheater,some pillars still standing, nice arches and a few mosiacs Efes-site of another one of the seven churches,Paul lived here. Is very well preserved, very good amphitheater, a library, roads of marble and is said to be a very exceptional site, comes highly recommended. These places are only the tip of the iceberg. >>More info on where-to-visit, what-to-take-with-you etc. missing. [Language] TURKISH LANGUAGE ........................................................... -> What is the origin of Turkish? Turkish is an Ural-Altaic language, which is spoken in different forms from Balkans in the west to China and Siberia in the east. Approximately 150 million people speak Turkish in the world. There are four main dialects of Turkish (according to Colloquial Turkish - Y. Mardin): a) Oriental dialects of Altay b) Western dialects of Kirgiz and Tatar c) Dialects of Central Asia d) Southern dialects: Turkmen, Azerbeycan, Anadolu, Kirim and Osmanli Turkcesi. -> Is Turkish a hard-to-learn language? Yusuf Mardin answers this question as follows: "Turkish is an easy, logical language. There is no gender, no he, she or it, but one word for all three." "In Turkish, there are no diphtongs. When two vowels come together, each retains its individual sound. Every letter in every word is sounded individually and every word is pronounced as it is written." [maintainer's note: we need to refine this section, please e-mail any suggestions. ] -> Which alphabet do people use in Turkiye? Latin alphabet with some modifications. There are 6 extra letters: _ c i(without dot) g "o s "u ' ' q, w, x does not exist in Turkish alphabet. [maintainer's note: Recently, a new Turkic alphabet was agreed upon, and there are new letters which contradict the statement above. An update will follow. ] -> How can I use Turkish alphabet in Wordperfect/Mac/TeX? Wordperfect has a Turkish keyboard file which can be used to generate Turkish letters by the help of Cntrl-Alt keys. For Mac, there is a Turkish Mac System and Turkish fonts. All of those can be found at ftp.cs.umn.edu under the directory /pub/users/cosar for anonymous ftp (Username ftp). There is also a Tex style file, easyturkish.sty which generates Turkish letters for Tex document preparing system. You may contact akgul@trbilun.bitnet for Turkish Tex and easyturkish.sty. Turkish fonts also do exist in several sites for ftp; you may try, host:kth.se directory:/kth/tex/stuttgart/fonts/metafont or host: utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp directory:/TeX/fonts for anonymous ftp. -> Additional font info for DOS/Windows. (by Mustafa Soysal) Other than the above mentioned Turkish fonts provided for ftp by Ahmet CoSar at the University of Minnesota. Bora Baysal at the Catholic University of America provided general information on a commercialy distributed font package he can provide you with. The information about the packages is included below. For detailed information about the current package contents, please contact the provided contact e-mail addresses. Font info by Bora Baysal ------------------------ TurkFontPack is a Turkish font pack which currently includes 10 Turkish fonts (including all Turkish characters and English characters), Mac version of the package for system 6 or 7, and a freeware Windows program in order to type Turkish characters on standard non-Turkish keyboards, using two-key sequences. The fonts are in various font formats which are PostScript Type 1, TrueType, bitmap, Unix, and Encapsulated PostScript. For additional info, please contact Bora Baysal via e-mail at bora@universe.digex.net -> Are there any books to learn Turkish? Yes, we even have an online tutor. The online tutor/teacher (for pc) is available at wuarchive.wustl.edu or other simtel20 mirrors under the directory /mirrors/msdos/langtutor/turkish1.lzh. We did not try it, so we do not have any idea about its completeness, usefulness etc. The books that might be used to learn Turkish are: - "Colloquial Turkish", Yusuf Mardin, London Routledge (several editions exist, some include a tape.) - "Colloquial Turkish", Arin Bayraktaroglu & Sinan Bayraktaroglu, Routledge, 1992 (Available with cassette). - "Turkish in Three Months", Bengisu Rana, Hugo's Language Books Ltd., 1989 (Available with cassette) - "Turkish Basic Course" (2 volumes), Lloyd B. Swift, Selman Agrali, 1966, State Dept. Series (can be found in libraries, elemantary/intermediate level) - "Yabancilar icin Turkce Dersleri", Kaya Can, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, 1981 - "Turkish", Paul Wittek, London, 1956 The following books include Turkish stories and poems: - "Turkish Sampler: Writings for all readers", Muge Galin, Indiana University Turkish Studies, 1989 - "Turkish Literary Reader", Andreas Tietze, Indiana University, 1963 - "An Anthology of Turkish Short Stories", Editor: Ali Alparslan, Publications of rge RCD Cultural Institute No:45, Istanbul, 1973 And about dictionaries: (by Jack Campin) By FAR the best portable dictionary is one you can only get in TR - the Berlitz/ABC Kitabevi "Ingilizce-Turkce/Turkce-Ingilizce Sozluk", 1988 (ISBN 975 09 0150 9). It suffers from the usual problem in Berlitz materials of not giving you any even remotely naughty words - god help you if you have to explain a gynaecological problem with it - but it's wonderful on food terms. About A6-sized, bright red. If it's out of print, the Redhouse Elsozlugu is a reasonable substitute.[It is not out of print, I checked it--ahmet] For a big dictionary, the Oxford two-volume one (also published cheaper by ABC in TR, in an edition that may only be sold there) is hard to beat, though the Redhouse Cagdas Turkce-Ingilizce Sozluk is just as good (one way only). You may have problems getting that in the US. The Oxford is also available in a one-volume abridgment. -> Is there a list of colleges offering Turkish classes? (by Ahmet Toprak) There seems to be at least 4 colleges/schools that offer Turkish classes. - University of California Berkeley, Near Eastern Studies Department - Turkish Community School, SF Bay Area, Principle: G.
