Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost everykind of music but first three would be Rock,Classical and folk musics of diffrent cultures.
I am not a person who reads a lot of books but instead I prefer short articles about scientific topics.
For movies, I like to watch movies but drama is not my kind.Usualy prefer historic-war movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I run across Istikalal Street(One of the most crowded street in Turkey) with chicken costume.

Teach, Learn, Share

The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910.
Only bird that can fly backwards: Hummingbird.

I heared that they called Turkey bird Turkey because of that the first merchants who sold Turkey was Turkish merchants So the foreigner called them Turkey bird.It is very similar to we called Indians as Hindi which means Turkey in Turkish because we bought Turkey from them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook.Other than that thanks to my profession I am kind a renaissance man; so we can have deep conversations.
