Turkish Delight - Optimism

Reflecting on my trip to Turkey, I was struck by the optimism in the country. The businesspeople feel that there were not too many excesses, so they expect the downturn to be mild. Further, the older generation seems to be very positive on the younger generation, and the efforts being put into education. Education, of the kind that produces thinkers, scientists and engineers, will certainly help the country progress and prosper. I did not come across anyone who wanted to major in finance.

A great trip to a great city and great country. I am looking forward to another trip to Istanbul.
