no smoking

so there’s a bit of censorship going on in turkey.
i totally didn’t expect it,
especially since turkey is secular.
ishaq was surprised by some porn on the hotel TV in instanbul
as he was flipping through the channels.
we didn’t even have a satellite / cable box or anything.

i took these when we were watching some show one day.
look past the 80s paraphernalia
and you’ll see strategic circular blurs where these actors are holding a cigarette.

the picture i didn’t get was the best.
in one part of this same show
a group of 5 or more guys were hanging out in a local eatery.
hanging out with them are 5 or more circular blurs moving in tandem with their animated hands.
