Further to my blog on the 28th October 2007, (click to read), where I described my experience of my brown sludge shower in the Peradoor Hotel in Istanbul, I mentioned the Istanbul marathon.
From my vantage point of the fifth floor of NLPGrup’s offices where I was giving an NLP and presentation skills course, I could look down on the runners far below.

Although the pictures do not show the vast numbers of runners, I had to work and train the participants, that is what they paid NLPGrup for, you can see the Turkish flags everywhere. As I have written before, I find the Turkish people a very nationalistic people, (click too read) proud of their country, (click too read) and founder Ataturk (click too read).
They will often have demonstrations in the streets, it seems every day there is one in Taxim Square, calling for change, waving and carrying their national flag. These pictures were taken as they demonstrated against the PKK and the loss of Turkish soldiers lives.

A further demonstration of their pride in their country, was shown in the National Day celebrations on the founding of the Turkish nation to follow.
