Culture Smart! Turkey explains how to avoid cultural gaffes in the host country. Giving historical, political and cultural backgrounds, the guide reveals how to read body language, be aware of potential pitfalls in communication, and provide the cultural essentials travellers need to successfully develop relations in Turkey.
Avoid being offended, or worse offending Turkey locals, instead familiarise yourself with local customs and cultures by reading Culture Smart! Turkey. This handy, pocket-sized book will help you to ease your way into a different culture and will assist you in making sure you don't develop incorrect stereotypes. Good preparation can go a long way in readying yourself for your journey. Whether you are setting off to Turkey in order to travel, learn, work or relocate, Culture Smart! will provide you with a wealth of information on everything from climate, population, doing business, nightlife and so much more. Culture Smart! Turkey offers an in-depth insight to the customs and cultures of Turkey, an area where many other guidebooks only scratch the surface. Culture Smart! provides rare insights, and practical guidance, into cultures. The values, behaviour and customs of peoples have been formed over centuries which is why the unique information in Culture Smart! guides do not date in the same way as ordinary travel guides. Culture Smart! enables you to step into a world untouched by other guidebooks.
