Off The Beaten Path: Don't miss the movies even on holidays :))
  • Tip Rating:
  • I am cinema addicted. After coming back from holidays I always buy many vcds to watch the movies I missed. What if I can not find a movie that I want to watch? I call my friends and we go to Kafika. (Quicker than Amazon :) Ka-fi-ka means Kacirdiginiz filmler kahvesi which means the cafe of the movies you missed. Here is its adress:
    Gümüssuyu Mh. Bolahenk Sok. No:8-10
    Cihangir Istanbul
    Call for reservation: 0 212 244 51 67

    Off The Beaten Path: Positive Nationalism :P
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a new term appeared after a TV advertisement for a new brand of cola in Turkey: "Cola Turka". It appeared after the Iraqi war. Since there was a big reaction to American brands, some "clever" Turkish men (From Ulker - know to be islamist in the society however they call themselves conservatives) came out with this idea. The theme of the advertisement is Cola Turka is being sold in US and all the Americans who drink this cola start to act like Turkish. Man kissing each other, having mustache etc. Turks are imposing their culture to Americans by this Cola Turka. Anyway... During an interview with this advertisement's director and pr responsible, they said that they did not want to make nationalism, however this could be named "Positive Nationalism." What do you think? Can nationalism be positive or negative?

     Best food I had in Istanbul was the fish off the Galata bridge. Hope to visit soon & check out some of the restaurants on your pages.
