Didn't work like that where I used them, there was usually a light somewhere that wasn't on the interlock - maybe the Turks still need to sort things out a bit.
I did tell you that there is an election soon, didn't I? Today we were told that the Kurdish party was having a big rally in Kars at 4pm. When we came back from Ari for lunch we became part of the cavalcade going into town.
We looked at a couple of mosques and the castle and walked back to the hotel. There wasn't just our bus - there are two. The other is for the Kurdish party! Not only that but the rally was so big because the dual leaders are here (evidently the party has a male and a female leader and half the candidates are women) and they are staying in this hotel.
Susan was some distance behind coming back, so I waited for her to arrive and said - see what's here (pointing to the other bus). "Why are you pointing at our bus?" "But it's not."
She suddenly realized why there are so many cars. "They're staying here!!!"
No I have never seen a door key that works like this either. All the other hotels here and in Australia work the way you describe - maybe it's part of the Russian architectural influence.
I note from the ABC that the aqueduct I was going to visit in Istanbul is now covered with election propaganda! Ah well, there are plenty of other things to see.

Ari is another fantastic site. I think i was within a few metres of the border with Armenia today.
ReplyDeleteThere is a helicopter overhead.
Tomorrow we go to Erzurum.
