On a mission to travel around the world, and to read all the interesting books ever written
————————————————————————

Been to many countries, but my favorites are the US, UK, Azerbaijan and last but not least Turkey. I can speak a little Turkish. Why Turkish? We all have our irrational biases. Mine is called Turkey. Now go find your own biases :)
---------‐-‐---------‐----------------------------------------------

I'm a curious person, so I'm sure we'll have something to chat about.
- Why have some currencies (like the Turkish Lira) lost most their value vs the USD over the last 5 years? And from where does the USD derive its purchasing power anyway?
- Favorite cities in Turkey? (If you've been)
- God? Which God? Or no God?
- What's next for USA, Israel & Iran (No, I have no crystal ball either, but I read up alot on the politics behind this due to my vested interest as a Bahraini).
- Trump (love him or hate him, the guy deserves a separate line here).

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
I like reading popular classics (eg 1984, A Tale of Two Cities) and investment/economics/finance books.

Movies:
Watched practically every WWII movie ever. Favorite movie is probably Oppenheimer (history, science, politics, morality, and a WW in one movie. What more can you ask for?)
