... taxis, order food and make limited small talk with the locals (not that the locals are limited).
We have even had the opportunity to sample the delights of the Turkish medical system. Sarah was taken ill (shivering, fever, that sort of thing). We (the guy that leads the church we are part of over here and Graham) took her to the local hospital where they took various bodily fluids from her and then replaced them by putting her on a drip into her ...
