local socities and their beneficial activities

Last summer when I was in Turkey, I stayed with my brother’s family for several days. They live a bit far from us, though we live in the same city: Istanbul. There is a big and famous square in the place they live, named ‘republic square’. After my brother got back from the work one day, he asked me to go out for several hours. He wanted to help me to be more familiar to the district. When we arrived to the republic square, we saw an abnormality there. There was a big crowd. It was like a small concert. When we got closer, we understood that it has taken place a festival there. A big stage was put on the square and many local singers entertained people. Honestly, I didn’t like the organization so much, but there was a great activity of the festival. Let me be clear.
In Turkey, people from the same cities, same hometowns or same villages, come together and found a society to develop their place. So you can see such societies in every neighborhood, especially in the big cities like Istanbul and Ankara. Well, the organization had been taken place by such societies. And every society set up a pavilion to exhibit and to sell their well-known foods and all artistic works. Concerts were done by turns but pavilions were there every evening for a month till the end of the festival. It was possible to visit them and eat or drink all tastes belong to different places.
Go to eat Erzurum’s Sac kebab, Bitlis’ buryan kebab, Urfa’s kebab, Adana’s kebab or Bursa’s iskender kebab or go eat Maras’s ice-cream, Corum’s roasted chickpeas, Ordu’s hazelnut. It is on your preference. Ah, by the way, you also can taste the Rize’s tea and Turkish coffee.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not a greedy person, pavilions were great, because sharing cultural values is great. As I read on their ad, it is an annual organization. I hope it will be better this year and getting better every passing year.
Pavilions were not established only to offer foods and drinks. As I said above, you can learn many things about other regions’ culture as well. Cities had tried to introduce their fascinating places and invite to visit each other’s home. Well, is there any better thing than sharing values and help each other? I don’t think so! I wish a better tomorrow for human being.
