Wow. Diyarbakir is pretty east in it's own right. Hmmm - east of there ... Van? Looking for Noah's Ark? I only got out that way heading overland to Tabriz. In those days, non-Turkish speaking gavurs could find it pretty challenging to get around. Back then I could pass for a Turk but an Istanbulu or Izmirli - which to the locals made me as much a foreigner as if I had come from Brazil <bg>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
