The most popular campaigning method appears to be flags...everywhere! So fortunately the flag makers of Turkey need not worry about the current global financial crisis just yet. And what looks and sounds like a party bus - with loud Turkish music that makes you want to dance like you're in a Shakira film clip - definitely an essential campaigning tool.
And then there was the report on the news about the candidate that gave people new washing machines to 'win' their vote. Except the people he gave them to didn't have running water in their houses so they had to traipse through the snow and carry buckets of water back to their house to fill the machine (still beats washing by hand I guess).I would like to say 'only in Turkey' but I have a feeling that's not quite true!

LOL - I wonder if they had power to their washing machines? Kind of awkward to get your legs in there to stomp and wash your clothes. Lovely chatting to you last night. I hope Yashar is feeling a bit better. xxxx
V, I just posted about the elections too! So different from the tactics back home, isn't it? I think we could possibly say "only in Turkey"....
