A Shoe Tradition
In Turkey, it is a well known fact that before you enter someone’s home, you must remove your shoes. Most Turkish people do not wear shoes inside their homes at all. Additionally, it is also required to remove your shoes before entering a mosque, as these places of worship are considered to be a communal home for all worshippers.

C-Sections Are Common
Svetlana explained that C-Sections are very common and many women have their babies at a private maternity hospital. She explained: “C-sections are really common here for a couple of reasons. It’s more convenient for the doctor, and many women are afraid of labor, so they ask for this surgery. You’re allowed to go home the next day after giving birth to a baby if everything’s fine. If you’ve had surgery, you have to stay at the hospital for 24 hours.”
