    We also have a cleaning obsession. Turkish houses are “extremely” clean.
    2. We buy magnets from wherever we go and display them on the fridge.
    3. We have pictures of family members with all different, never matching frames in the living room.
    4. We spend too much time in the balcony. I write this from my balcony xd 😂 I always invite my friends home to drink Turkish coffee in our balcony where we also smoke sometimes. (I never smoke except balcony&Turkish coffee or night outs) We “close” the cup and read each other’s fortunes. (It’s a Turkish tarot snsksjjkk)
    5. My mom grows green onions, little peppers, peppermints in the balcony and gets very happy when she eats them. And dad always plants strawberry but he could never succeed :///
    6. We drink rakı and eat cheese and meze in the balconies with large friend groups and there’s always that annoying neighbor everytime who complains about the “loud talk”
    7. Turkish carpets, towels and curtains are very important. My mom irons our curtains. She has guest towels as well.
    8. We have something called “dergilik” where we keep 5 year old women magazines and old newspapers probably no one fully read.
    9. My mom collects weird items like tiny porcelain bride&groom, tiny bicycle, fake paintings of Ottoman era.
    10. Every Turkish house has that place where moms keep their jars of homemade jams, homemade tomato sauces, quality olive oil that is only used for salads and cold meals.
    11. We never want to use the small toilet so we always argue about the big bathroom and the person inside yells “Go to the other one!!!!”

    Well, in Sweden we always take off our shoes indoor, but we don't have slippers. (The following is off course a generalisation.)We always have doorhandles on all doors. We don't have doors with glass. We don't have curtains to cover the windows, we have them in different colors to the side or at the top. We don't boil water on the stove for tea, we use elecric boilers but we don't drink that much tea. We drink a lot of coffee, and I mean a lot. We use normally a brewing machine at home. We often drink latte and cappuccino at coffee places.

We let our shoes outside of the door, because the carpets cover the whole floor. In the rooms we don't even use slippers. We don't have this form of tea glasses, but we drink black tea and coffee all the time. Like if tea and coffee would be the solution for every problem! 😅 We also NEVER use the things, they are in the vitrin 😃 I have never seen people to live this way in our area, and I felt my family unnormal and strange, so it's very surprising and a positive experience to see, there are peoples, who are similar to us. 🙂

But thinking of history these similarities are so normal as the balcans and more countries were under the great othoman empire...we all end up with similar if not same coulture and cusines. It's bringing us together now days, that everything is so minimalized and modernized, many of us young people stop following the traditions of our ancestors and it's so good to see all these common points reminding us of our families indeed.

    When I lived in Turkey, the first people I met were lower income guys from the East of Turkey.
    While they had many of the things that you pointed out (tea, tea pot, coffee, coffee pots, the "evil" eye, crotched lace coverings [in houses where there were women], and nesting tables) the furnishings were much, much different.
    Many had a "şark odası"- cushions around the living room and a low-legged table that could be rolled out and set up for eating. Kitchens are usually tiny, as well as the "bedrooms" and so almost all of the action happens in the living room.
    In some houses, the women had made beds from sheep wool that were folded and stacked in the corner. At night, guests would just sleep on one of those in the living room and then the next morning they would fold up the bed and put it in the corner of the room.
    Your house, of course, is beautiful. In 16 years living in Turkey I may have visited 2 or 3 of such houses. But most of the expats I met living there and my own friends lived in smaller buildings in old neighborhoods like Beşiktaş or Üsküdar with no elevators (but lots of stairs!) and much less luxorious surroundings (but still with those things you mentioned- everybody has those, regardless of economic status).

    I'm Kazakh and my grandma had almost everything you mentioned. She had a separate room for vip guests, which was much fancier than the living room where they usually sit. Laces, evil eyes, vitrines, she had it all. She had lace cloth on TV's.
    I was once in a Kazakh home where they had a separate fancy house just for guests, which almost nobody was allowed in. The house where they lived was much worse, and they had this fancy house for special occasions only, which is wild. But I only saw something like that once. But VIP guest rooms were common, don't no what is like these days.

    So many similarities with Indian homes. Indian mom's hardly ever bring out the fancy glassware. That's for guests only 😂 Indian parent love covering every furniture surface with doilies or crochet covers. We love our CHAI (tea) too ❤️ We do take off our shoes inside the house.

      En Algérie, c'est également pareil. En raison du fait que la Régence d'Alger ( ancien nom de l' Algérie actuelle ) était incluse dans l'empire ottoman. Près de 3 siecles de presence ottomane ont entraîné une appropriation des habitudes sociales et culinaires turques. Il y a énormément de Koulouglhis en Algérie ( personnes issues d'unions entre Ottomans et Algériennes) qui ont gardé les traditions turques de leurs ancêtres.

    The alcohol thing depends entirely on how religious the family is. Half the population is religious and the other half isn’t. The non-religious usually live in city areas, while the religious usually live in more of the farm areas.
    (When I say religious I mean people who actively follow the religions rules… cause drinking alcohol is against the religion. When I say Non-religious people I don’t mean people who aren’t muslim, I just mean people who don’t go out of their way to follow the religions rules and restrictions).

    I recently saw a similar tour in a common egyptian house, and it´s so similar! And actually, if it wasn´t for the tulip shaped glasses, the custom of taking the shoes off at the door, and the toilet, it could very well be a brazilian house. The love of manual work is also diminishing as women live in cities and pursue outside careers, like men. I just wonder if the love of glass display is an imported French thing. I wonder if it was prevalent at the height of the Ottoman power in the 17th-18th centuries. And I was really curious about the turkish coffee machine!
