Texan sailor circles the globe but comes home to Istanbul
an interesting article about the draw of Istanbul....
Texan sailor circles the globe but comes home to Istanbul
Texan sailor circles the globe but comes home to Istanbul
Mariners sail around the world and set foot in all corners of the globe, yet they always come back to wherever they call home.
For Texan Anderson England, 38, the place he returns to after a stint at sea is Istanbul.
Anderson has been working with one of the world’s most famous cruise companies, Royal Caribbean, for the past 12 years.
Due to his job, he spends two-and-a-half months at sea and two-and-a-half months at home. “When I have my home leave, I run to my house in Istanbul,” said England.
He came to Turkey 20 years ago for holidays. “I really liked Turkey and I decided five years ago to move my home from Texas to Istanbul,” he said....

All Roads Lead to Istanbul - By James Traub | Foreign Policy
With Turkey gaining more attention in the global and regional arena - learning Turkish will be even more important .
An interesting article from FOREIGN POLICY describes Turkey's ascension...
All Roads Lead to Istanbul - By James Traub | Foreign Policy
ANKARA, Turkey - It's great to be Turkey just now. The economy, barely scathed by the global recession, grew 11.7 percent in the first quarter of this year, and 10.3 percent in the second. Like the Ottoman Empire reborn, Turkey has sponsored a visa-free zone with Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, and is moving toward creating a free trade zone as well. And Turkey is a force not just in its neighborhood but, increasingly, in the world. It's the next president of the Council of Europe
, an observer of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and a new friend of ASEAN and Mercosur. And the world is beating a path to its doorstep: When I was in Ankara this week, the Sudanese foreign minister was in town; the French, the Austrians, and the Poles had just visited. Senior Iraqi politicians were making regular pilgrimages. Turkey has become a net exporter of diplomatic services. "For the first time," says Selim Yenel, the highly Americanized deputy undersecretary of foreign affairs responsible for relations with Washington, "they're asking us for advice."
Like its fellow emerging powers Brazil and South Africa, Turkey was once a right-wing state that the West could safely pocket during the Cold War. And like these countries, the Turks now have the self-confidence to feel that they no longer need belong to anyone. Such states are now a force unto themselves, as Turkey and Brazil demonstrated -- to Washington's chagrin -- when they reached a deal with Iran this past May to ensure that Tehran would not produce weapons-grade nuclear fuel. Intriguingly, Turkey, Brazil, and Nigeria currently serve on the U.N. Security Council, and South Africa and India will next year -- a murderers' row of emerging powers, and a glimpse of a post-hegemonic, polycentric world....
