Let's not forget one of my favorite Turkish traditions, the debtor's brothels.
When I was in Turkey in '92 our bus driver made a pit stop at this place that looked like a small, low security jail. He walked up the the guard shack, gave the guard what amounted to $5 and got a blue chip. He walked down the stalls which housed the wives of men in debt, picked a girl, gave her the chip, took fucked her, came back to the bus and took us where we needed to go.
Just lovely people.
