i have never actually been in turkey during the kurban bayram - usually it is at the same time as our school holiday...
should i expect gore? madness as black clothed women run through the streets slapping bloody handprints on people and doors? sheep bleeting on rooftops and cheers as the throat is cut?
i only mention these things specifically bc my first year here i was in egypt - cairo - for it.. and it was crazy bloody (and i mean the red fluid.. not being britishy here) madness
and then all the mosques played this cool killing the sheep song and it bounced all over the city for about an hour... or maybe the song was about haj.. i dunno.. it was cool
but i was in shock after witnessing 3 different sheep on 3 tall tall rooftops get sliced and gutted
.. i am vegetarian mind u... but i .. couldnt... stop... watching....
will my neighbours kill the damn cats in the courtyard this year?
