One really fascinating thing about Turkey is that during prayer time, the majority of the shops and store vendors close temporarily to gather at the mosque and pray. This is a great concept because, in the midst of chaos and the daily grind, a break is taken for prayer to re-boost spiritually. This is very different from the United States because it is a multicultural nation and prayer times are different for the various religions practiced in that country. Turkey is a Muslim country, therefore they follow Islam mainly, and there are many mosques located within reach of the communities.
Another major difference between Turkey than the U.S is the currency. Astonishingly, one Turkish Lira is equal to 0.12 U.S dollars or 12 cents. The Turkish economy has not been doing well lately and has declined about 18 percent in 2020”. (Duva R. English, 2020) This is mainly due to Covid-19 and its impact on the economy at large.
