"wearing a mustache all Turks?"

Would it be an exaggeration if I say that the "normal" German animmt that every male Turk is wearing a mustache? Even I did not fare much different. My first route to Turkey, took me over 10 years, a mustachioed young German of Turkish origin, there.

When he and his BMW in front of my office drove up, got out of the car decked out with never previously provided in this size seen gold chains around his neck and a beard between lip and nose, me more like a scrubbing brush, for a tender Pflaum remembered-I am honestly at this point, I felt already confirmed in the other one and prejudice :-))

Of course, every Turkish man with mustache and usually in such splendor and quantity that the one and the other Western Europeans would be happy to find such proportions on his head again. So I thought.

The young man carrying a mustache, told me then of his uncle in Ankara that there was a successful entrepreneur and asked me if I would accompany him on his next trip to Turkey?

I said yes, and I was already two weeks later in a impressive office in Ankara (the word "impressive" at the time was my favorite expression, measured in what I got to see).

A few minutes later, opened the door and yes you will think it you can to the corner, came equipped with the finest thread, mustache-supporting uncle :-))

When then a few minutes later, three other business partners of the Moustache Super uncle to us joined and this also hertrugen a hairy garment between the lip and nose in front of him, it was clear to me: I had arrived in the land of the mustaches :-))

a few days and mustaches later, I said to belong to and then blew my razor a sad affliction. This ornament I had did not last long, because first I looked pretty stupid with a mustache and second, I realized very quickly that, contrary to my impression, not nearly as was that all male Turks wore a mustache.

This finding was also the result of a response from some Turks, who sat with me the night together in Ankara for dinner and when I asked: "Do all Turks a mustache? erupted in laughter. At the moment I would have wished, however, a mustache, because then you would get the blush on my face not so striking perceived :-))

To sum it up again: Yes, there's the mustache wearer Turks, but definitely no, every Turk would shuffle mode.

On the contrary, it is in fact-a occupied by me like ritual in the Turks very popular, a recurring at short intervals visit, a Turkish "Barber" exercise, the one then with the addition of a sharp knife, a lot of lather Fire and missed a shave, which gives you after finishing the feeling of having a skin like a baby's :-))

But it elsewhere once again. (I mean to visit a barber, of course, not the baby's ):-))

"Driving in Istanbul"


Istanbul. Istanbul is faßzinierend. Istanbul is impressive. But Istanbul is also great, huge. And to get from one place to another, the "common" Turk served course of his car. And cars are

there many of the same. Old, new, big, small, beautiful and less beautiful, expensive and rather cheaper. But, and usually is the case, they are all at the same time on the road to Istanbul's streets, then there is a traffic chaos, a special kind.

dual carriageway, be used at least six lanes. The horn is the most important and widely used standard.

Although the Turk is always peaceful and always kind to his fellow man, the one in the two-minute revolving cursing and abusing the other road users, but at least as to the "basic equipment" by, of fighting through Istanbul driver.

Red lights seem to always be green, turn signals are used only in exceptional cases and pedestrians should either venture only in armor on the streets or stay at the top right at home, whether the appreciation and consideration that give them the drivers receive. Paris came in one comparison, like an oasis in front of most peaceful bliss.

The traffic chaos in Istanbul, is a major reason for Istanbul to either hate or love. I chose to love. As you know, in the truest sense of the word :-))

Even if I would ever live in Istanbul, I would never own the idea to want to own a car. Too large, the benefits of using one, every two seconds on a passing taxis. Yellow in color, but some adventurous whether their condition.

The taxi driver knows most of the way, a belabbert the whole journey, even if one of Turkey's powerful is passed a like a wet towel in hot summer days and a cigarette on cold winter days (you will find yourself at this point rightly ask, what does cause a cigarette on cold days, but I felt like, sounded kind of good) -:) ).

Especially the taxi but a decisive advantage: It has never been the difficulty and the difficulty of description is an understatement at this point more than one-Parplatz found. to locate the same applies to your own car in Istanbul, is almost analogous to the probability of crossing to put the right six numbers in the lottery.

Add to this that taxis in Istanbul are more than reasonable, even a trip through the complete City usually costs no more than 10-15 €.

me personally, it also brings an additional comfort. Relaxed and completely stress-free I can enjoy the ride, observe that around me-playing and turning my head 360 degrees, absorb right and left, front and rear, top and bottom of the charms of this city are wrong.

So I'll come mostly relaxed, with my business and am prepared to schedule the things that may come as well.

"The dynamics of Turkish entrepreneurs'


Even if the economy improved steadily in Germany in recent months, we are of a general spirit of optimism and even enthusiasm, still miles away.
Quite unlike the situation in Turkey. Impressive economic growth figures in recent years. Booming sectors (real estate, construction, energy, telecommunications, automotive, etc.), enthusiasm for the Turkish entrepreneurs everywhere.
Investment pleasure here and there.

much reminiscent of the often cited "gold rush" in the remote Alaska past.
alone occur in Istanbul currently 16! new shopping centers. Although many impressive buildings already completed and in operation. Including the largest shopping mall in Europe (Cevahir).

The vast majority of which is more than 70 million counted Turkish population under the age of 35 years. And from these prevailing motto: "Not cheap is cool, but consumption is marvelous! Buy, buy, buy, invest, invest, invest.

flourishes, the Turkish domestic market in neighboring countries created huge markets and the opportunities. And the European market, as it appears in a "coup" to be taken. Large and medium-sized Turkish companies to adopt or get one, in German and European companies.

member of the Turkish businessmen and not only talks about globalization, he or she lives. Every day. For him it is a challenge and opportunity, not fear of competition and other cultures and mentalities that could paralyze him.

is tackled, made simple. And for months considered concepts created and discarded. Does it capture new markets, to act. Where does this enthusiasm

? I think everybody has it in his genes Turk :-)) He wants to act to bring haggle, do something in motion.

No matter what I meet Turks, whether young or old, whether studied or not, I speak to him on business projects, its eyes glow. And the more projects and whether its exorbitantly large volumes, the better.
Then I am the "favorite Eniste" (brother), then it says "will come to my office, tea and pastries ascended, let's roll up our sleeves. What is it about who we need, what needs to be invested? ".

And this mood is not clock time from 8:00 - 17:00 clock. The Turkish entrepreneurs is 24 hours a day, including weekends.

This is the spirit and enthusiasm we need in Germany. If we Germans do not cut it at least a slice?

So I advise each contractor: Fahret out, inspire you, come let us plug in and when you least be active in business not in this great country will, then at least the impressions and the power take back to Germany, which you will be there given. You will now bursting with power only so and your business is running all by itself:))

" From flying to, and arriving in Istanbul "

It's that time again. I've just entered the airport in Dusseldorf to get me to go to the monthly route to Istanbul.

After a few steps, I have the switch of the "Turkish Airlines" is reached and the friendly lady expecting me to tell me "check in".
The queue was as always quite short, presented my passport and ticket, it is only the work of a few minutes until I can go with my boarding pass in hand, even in the departure hall.
sitting a few steps later I was already in the cafe of the airport, my first coffee drink at this day and read the newspaper to me, keep informed about what is happening in the world around me everything.
An hour later, I hear that I am well familiar voice that calls to us to output B25 to go, since Turkish Airlines TK 1527 now stands ready for takeoff. As always on time.
Although I seems that at least 500 people simultaneously want the airplane, is here too reibunsglos and fast. A few minutes later I sit in my seat
I usually try a seat in the exit row preserved, not because I think that I speed up in a crash off the plane came, but not to store more of my "normal" body proportions can comfortably :-))
sitting next to me my "Baskan" (my wife) and all sitting outside, a young Turkish manager. have
not yet properly perceived, to be back on the plane, we go well already in the air. Istanbul here I come!
now sitting above the clouds, the sun comes in my face, is already the friendly stewardess and asks: "Welcome on board sir, do you want tea, Water, Coffee? I opt for a delicious Turkish noncarbonated water and am already thinking in Istanbul.
something an hour later, details of which have already friendly stewardess comes back to us and offers us the choice of delicious fish (Balik) or noodles at (makarna). I opt for the delicious Nüdelchen.
Especially but I am always on the excellent dessert, but which I usually try to so food, without which it will notice my Baskan, because she says "Super Mario" was already sufficient "spare tire" around hips equipped :-))
After this excellent meal, I realize how slow my lower eyelids and a pleasant feeling begins. "Super Mario" is asleep. Also, because the plane is flying so low and quiet, my compliments to the Turkish pilots, that it is one, as if you were sitting in a "glider".
At this point I should also mention that the prejudice which has the one and the other German when he first flies to Turkey and from "fear" against a flight with Turkish Airlines decides completely unfounded. Turkish Airlines ( www.thy.com ) is now one of the moon and serious largest airlines in Europe, is almost always on time, has an excellent service and the luggage is always :-))
way, Turkish Airlines is a leader in this respect in Europe. As far as I know, there is no other airline has seen less "losses" to pieces of luggage, as Turkish Airlines.
as much again on "prejudice".
So "is" Super Mario in his comfortable seat, Baskan addition to a delicious meal in well-fed belly and dreaming of Istanbul.
can equal I will see the Bosphorus and my heart beat faster. I will dive into this crazy city, the traffic chaos, meet my friends, the nights me in restaurants and Night clubs around the ears to beat in a business meeting the next rush, drink lots of tea ... Istanbul ah, ah. Super Mario is on the way!
will already three flight hours later I awakened by the landing. Istanbul has me again.
Let's see what all will happen. 'll Tell you.

What Is End Stage Emphysema

" Turkish lion's milk "



I can still remember exactly when I first time in the enjoyment from Turkish "lion's milk" came.

It was hosted in Ankara and Turkish my then business partner me in a "Kebap" restaurant.

When we arrived by car outside the restaurant, jumped also like some gentlemen to us and opened our doors to us to help in the vehicle. Otherwise a very helpful "service" which is shown at almost every restaurant in Turkey, because it saves time looking for a parking space to have.

Once in the restaurant, a table was reserved of course for us it was going directly to the serving of delicious dishes of Turkish cuisine.

My view was very fast on a stationary glass in front of me, which in its form the "Kölsch glass" very similar. So I assume it was übberascht pleased to say that to me in Ankara Kölsch could be served. The waiter then arrived with a bottle of the way, the name I had not seen up to that time and filled the "Kölsch glass" until about the middle with just that content on. At first I thought this was quite rude but my glass to fill only up to the middle, but it should follow that he fills the rest of the glass with carbonated water-free. Supplemented by the one and the other ice cubes, I noticed that the former "clear" content, by the addition of the water milky in color.

I still did not know what it might have with this drink on, I asked my table mates, who replied: "This is a raki. Raki (the Turkish and lion's milk) is an anise liquor, which is made from grapes and figs. The ripe fruit is harvested, dried, fermented and distilled. Thereafter, Anis added and distilled a second time.

Raki has an alcohol content of 40-50% by volume can be imagined, therefore, that the enjoyment and its inclusion could be dangerous.

But Mario would not even Super Mario on this evening was, so I drank the raki, like water.

Some Raki later, the tongue is now almost paralyzed, the mood more than tipsy, dancing on the table, the articulation of their own babbling almost as significant, thereby giving the gröllend Sangeskünste the best, but I noticed that too fast and quantitatively large receiving the "lion's milk" should be must enjoy with caution.

But it tasted too good, especially at harmonic meetings intake of kebab meals and because Super Mario is a real man numal should follow about 15 more raki.

The next day I woke up to have a head the size of my hotel room seemed to be able to leave the determination not to this day my bed and in the certainty that never in my life more drink raki are :-) )

Just days later, I had this intention again thrown overboard, the raki flowed back into streams and it is honestly stayed that :-))

addition to the Yeni Raki Raki Tekirdag and there are now many other varieties, almost all are recommended.

for a successful evening, in a good restaurant, Raki is simply part and if you then also in the circle of his friends, bored, then this "lion's milk" indeed a true elixir of life.

In this sense, "Seref"!

" The Turkish movement agent "



The largest number of our well-educated German citizens who are so often described as Reported Turkey Kenner, assume that in Turkey this one pictured lovely animal to the daily means of locomotion one in Turkey.

Although smooth in his movement, gallant in appearance, cuddly whether its fur and powerful in his appearance, it seems but imagine a little difficult do like the evening of the Super Mario together with his wife, with the vehicle in front of Istanbul's probably the hottest Night Club like "Reina" ( www.reina.com.tr ) ancestors.

course, most attention is very big, but first, would the poor animal if the great weight are about to collapse, and our hair by the rapid speed, at least stand on end. You may also

can well imagine how a seven-member family travel on such a creature from Istanbul to Ankara. Not only that it would fall within a few hundred meters in a comatose state, but even if this did not happen, reaching Ankara would probably require a period of at least 3 months.

Or imagine this poor animal should have to ship several containers load from Istanbul to Germany. Admittedly, it is here to realistic assumptions. The educated German knows what is going on already, in our beloved Türkiye.

enjoy these ideas but always and above all I have to remember if I was just in the Range Rover De Luxe, my friend, Ercan or sit in a Porsche Cayenne, my friend Murat, will be driven to the restaurants. I have heard that most Porsche Cayenne, within Europe, are sold in Istanbul.

The real reality is, that is another. Not only in Istanbul can be seen in amounts Porsche, Range Rover, Ferrari, Mercedes S-Class latest design, which one of Dusseldorf's KÖ, Berlin's Kurfürstendamm, etc. should look in vain.

Here you should also remember that in Turkey a lease for a car and credit spreads are very low and therefore is always paid in cash. The cars are so actually the driver and not, as in Germany, where frequently have distended the Porsche, with lots of gel licked driver was financed somehow, and he is glad the money for the fuel to, just so she could shine with such a vehicle.

The Turkish trucks are not built out of cardboard and against alleged adoption, these also have engines and are not operated by a pedal or wind power.

So sometimes prejudices stand in stark contrast to the facts.

wish you continued safe and pleasant and safe journey.

" Doing Business in Turkey "

Because Super Mario professional gives advice to companies seeking a foothold on business in Turkey foot, will I always wondered how the really so is because this "Doing Business in Turkey"?

of these, I would like to tell you now einwenig.

If you should ask yourself why I perform the "front door" of the palace Dolmahce here? Well, it is to say symbolically show the door to Turkey, which should be open, in order to operate successful businesses there.

My protagonist is a person that Turkey might at most from a holiday in Antalya or Bodrum knows, so no real expert Turkey :-))

First you should make use of the unlimited possibilities of the World Wide Web and a few Basics gain on Turkey. Where are the business hubs, which industries are particularly present (automotive, textile, energy, manufacturing, etc.) to clarify a few key political dates (government etc.), etc. Population data

it in that context, I can because the way the Website of the Turkish Embassy in Berlin, which is a lot to know basis. should www.tuerkischebotschaft.de

then contact you to one and the other institution, this may the Turkish-German Industry and Commerce in Cologne are www.td-ihk.de , the German-Turkish Chamber of Commerce in Istanbul www.dtr-ihk.de , Turkish industry, Chamber of Commerce and www.tobb.org.tr or the two most influential Turkish business associations Tüsiad www.tusiad.org.tr and MÜSIAD www.musiad.org.tr .

There information, contacts and so on.

Armed with this initial knowledge, you should personally open to Turkey and take the first contacts with Turkish companies. to start in this city / region, depends on what you want to pursue interests in Turkey. When it comes to commercial transactions is to always start in Istanbul, are political relations for the envisaged projects are needed, is the capital Ankara, the first address. But when it comes to the outsourcing of production capacity, southern Anatolia is favored. For there the costs are still lower, but still provided with well-trained professionals.

In all contacts, ideas, concepts, the envisaged cooperation, etc., but one thing in mind: The most important is to win the understanding that we are dealing with a completely different oriented culture. Who does not understand this, it is difficult to have long-term success in Turkey.

quality is more important than quantity. The Turk would have the feeling that one time responsible for it. Sun meetings can ever take hours. Once you chat about this and that and should never fall directly with the "door" into the house. It may surprise a not also participate in a conversation that the Turkish side of 10, 20 people, although only one says anything. It just is. Hierarchies also have a completely different meaning. Finally, always chooses the boss, even if it is middle management levels, of course. Moreover almost all Turkish companies are family owned, so should not be surprised if you have many business cards are the right to show the same name. All Family!

Extravagant presentations and since long Concepts of the Turk also loves not, he would prefer to discuss things in person. If a meeting is the lunch time approaches, do not be surprised that want everything and left the restaurant together and it will go. In addition, there has benefited the many tea (see my report) and other delicacies.

After a first meeting of the German / foreigner always the feeling that everything is gone and they were in business. Further, he writes mails and faxes wonder, however, that he received no feedback. Well, the Turk is always hospitable, this led to the mistaken belief this also would affect the combined business. In reality, however, are still to hold a larger number of personal conversations, until you finally come into the business.

For the rest, well most of prolonged time.

background is that it is important for the Turks is confidence in his potential business partners and, because it is important to bring people together. Not infrequently, the Turks decide emotionally, it's saying the best product on earth can have when he is not sympathetic, you lost.

is another misconception, that would no alcohol consumed in Turkey. Especially in big cities like Istanbul and Ankara, the actual transactions of the evening in the restaurants and bars, and often discussed and finalized by taking plenty of alcohol, usually raki. Sometimes the Turkish host will be tested and compared with, namely, how he behaves with consumption of too much alcohol. Is he abusive, funny etc.

so be careful.

will also notice that sit in Turkey, many women in senior positions and this in a much greater extent than in Germany. One should also avoid speaking at a first contact, about politics. This can be very fast to the end, cause not yet started business relationship.

Summary: You should open and not biased going into this country. Time is an important factor. More work intensively with a potential business partner, as American-style in the two-hour rhythm of always making new friends.

And the physical presence is important. Anyone who thinks out of Germany to take in Turkey foot, will probably fail. And just in the initial phase, it is important that someone from the management of the potential partner accepts in Turkey.

Sending managers at second level, from the Turks as above, as if you were not him and his business seriously. This

wars for the moment. Replies to any questions you like to Super Mario. Or contact your take on to ConBridge KG International Consultants. www.conbridge.biz

A company that specializes in Turkey and be a good partner for all The ones will want to establish in Turkey or expand their businesses.

There are personal reasons why I can especially recommend this company long term :-))

Good luck and good business.
