Ok let's break it down. The non-Turkish name regulation; from what I understand you just can't register your child with a foreign name, they won't let you, so there aren't any violators to fine or reprimand. As for foreigners and foreign born Turks, they are exempted. I know less about the tax caveats of foreign named businesses. There are five calls to prayer a day. Don't bother asking a Turk what the translation would be, as the call is in Arabic, the language of the Koran, and all but the most pious Turks have no idea. Yes, Turkish baths are awesome. Chios Rooms Hostel is on Chios, not Samos. Indeed, it was good. And you can do it again: This Oct 2nd-14th R. Rafeh is coming out, you are welcome (bring pork). A memorable trip, for sure.
