This week, we are going to visit Turkish bloggers in alphabetical order! Are you excited!
Amerikan Turk talks about his racing (bicycle) this week. He spent Father's Day in a local bike race [1] and was planning on participating in another on this Sunday [2], although his plans might have been foiled by a twisted ankle at work [3]. Amerikan Turk also posts about the Turkish bloggers yahoo group [4], who this week had some “heated discussions” on whether or not to post in Turkish or English, amoung other things [5]. Either way, whatever language, it is an excellent group to visit.
Athanasia's Daily, who I don't cover too often, wrote about the universal problems of having summer birthdays [6]. Happy Birthday Burcu!
I am only going to post one item from Erkan's Field Diary this week….because I feel that the item deserves special consideration….he has his First Academic Publication out! [7]
Gulay, Galatasaray and the Dogs post another little jab at fellow futbol blogger Oz Kanka [8] and lists how some of the international players from Turkish soccer teams are doing in the World Cup [9].
Mavi Boncuk gives us more Turkish history with a bio on Turkish feminist Nezihe Muhittin [10], information on Ottoman civil law [11], and a primer on the Millet system and the guilds [12] during the Ottoman period.
Oz Kanka is still giving blow by blow World Cup reporting for the Round Ball in Ankara [13].
Talk Turkey has been talking about Metro-logic [14] and More Metro-logic [15]…and no, I am not going to tell you what it is, you have to read it for yourself. (wink)
Well that's the week, not everyone was covered so I apologize for leaving some of the regulars out. Have a good one!
