and the Turks go on picnics in different ways, and one particular detail betrays the latter. This was confirmed by a domestic tourist who is currently traveling in the Republic of Turkey.
Note that the habit of resting in nature for the Turks is quite old. True, earlier such “outings” were not called picnics. Rather, they were out-of-town walks, or rather “chaiyrbasty”, i.e. “walking in the meadows”, or “teferryudzhe”, which translates as “rest”. They preferred to have fun by the water. The popularity of the tradition has reached modern Turkey, however, now it is “overgrown” with comfort in the form of folding chairs.
“Turks carry folding chairs with them everywhere. This is one of the traditions that at first surprises, but then you stop paying attention and perceive it as something natural. Like the sound of wind or waves. The sun is shining, the grass is green, the Turk is sitting in an armchair – nothing unusual. They can sit like this on the beach, in a park, on a hill, or even just on the side of the road – at the turn of a mountain serpentine with a beautiful view, ”the author explained the habit of the Turkish population in his channel on Yandex.Zen.
At the same time, residents of Turkey drink soft drinks and fry kebabs. All this happens under conversations or observation of nature. They rest by the water, and when it's hot, they move to the shade of trees.
According to the traveler, folding chairs became a “measurement” of whether the settler settled in a new country for himself. “In Russian chat rooms they joke that if a person bought a folding chair, then he has assimilated. “I’ve finally “turned into a Turk”,” he remarked.
