Editor's Note:
Arki erosi heti uutisotsikoista: suomalaistytön hame oli liian pitkä, se piti ensi tilassa vaihtaa lyhyempään. Kuvitteletko tietäväsi kuinka Turkissa eletään ja ajatellaan? Tutustu tuhansien tarinoiden Turkkiin Istanbulissa aikuistuneen suomalaisen toimittajan matkassa.Reeta Paakkinen muutti maallistuneen istanbulilaisperheen miniäkokelaaksi 19-vuotiaana vuonna 1998 ja on edelleen sillä tiellään.Hänen humorististen mutta asiantuntevien tarinoidensa kautta avautuu aivan uudenlainen näkökulma Turkkiin ja maan arkeen. Paakkisen tuntemassa Turkissa naiset ulkoistavat kotityöt, aviopuoliso voi löytyä televisio-ohjelmasta, talonmies tuo asukkaille tuoreen leivän ja jalkapallo-ottelu voi sekoittaa kokonaisia kaupunginosia.Toisenlaisen tulokulman tarjoavat koskettavat kuvaukset työmatkoilta Pohjois-Irakiin, Pohjois-Kyprokselle ja Ben Alin ajan Tunisiaan.
