We’re used to seeing stray dogs in our neighbourhoods. About their living conditions, we only know what we see. Today, hundreds of thousands of stray dogs in Turkey are struggling for their lives under harsh conditions. Only few are able to survive and that is thanks to extraordinary efforts of animal lovers. It is sad that their future depends on human beings. Whatever we choose to do or not to do, that will be it for them.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
