If you are offered some, drink enough to be polite. Looks like cherry Kool-Aid, comes in a jug like cherry Kool-Aid, they drink it on a hot day like cherry Kool-Aid... But it's actually pickled turnip juice. It's vegan though... One word of advice to anyone traveling to Turkey: If you can, avoid a drink called Salgam (pronounced SHAL-gam).

The prices you say sound way too high to me! I was in Istanbul some time ago and went to the same market with Turkish friends. They bargained for me and although it was not too cheap (it is Istanbul after all) i thought it was not too expensive either... So just wondering... Hi, I was just wondering: Did you bargain?
