4. History and Origin of Road-Watchers ^^


Actually TLL 101 and ENG 101 again mixed XD

While i am reading my TLL homework (It is book called "Taaşuk-ı Talat ve Fitnat", It is the first novel of Turkish Literature.)i realised there are descriptions about that era's relationships.

In this parts of book, we understand in that times, womans don't usually went outside and they sat next to the window and watched the road! Their best entertainment was this.

And there were some special times, which ladies dressed up nice and went to the outside with cars. And then mans were watching this ladies along the road, and if they like one, they are going to her father and want her from him.

Like Elif, i am finding myself while i am looking to the road without thinking something, sometimes.

So i think this tradition, is coming very deep deep inside from Turkish people :D

  1. Hey Ayşe, I see you linked to Elif's blog! That's great.

    It's best if you link to her specific post. Just go to her blog and click on her Roadwatchers post, then copy and paste the URL. When your reader clicks on your link, they will go directly to Elif's post!

    Thanks for the info on the history of roadwatchers! ;-))

    You should also change your language to English. Go to the Dashboard and choose English from the menu at the top.
