"...I remember hitchhiking in Turkey when my driver suddenly veered off the road and drove off to a small shack in the countryside. I didn't understand any Turkish and could only smile while an old man and his sons came out to make the traditional tea ceremony.
At the first sip of tea I began to feel light-headed and was convinced I'd been drugged! It was only after I didn't pass out that I remembered that I was just very tired after a long day on the road. My new Turkish friends were simply curious and delighted to have the opportunity to welcome a Western tourist."
