The new blog from Istanbul, initiated by Hans A.H.C. de Wit, with co-bloggers from surrounding countries.
About Internations Musings
This blog is about people: their social life, their religion, their political opinion, in Turkey, Greece, Italy, Armenia, Dubai and elsewhere.
We, the authors are polyglots. We used to live in several countries and speak several languages. And ended up not in our nation of birth.
We are not propagandists, we believe in honest and open discussions.
Therefore, we welcome critical opinions, advice and are curious about our readers, so leave a note, comment or advice.
Thanks:
Yasemin,
Vassili,
Myrthe,
Derya
and Hans.
