BBC
Istanbul has an informative video which features the actor
Michael Palin having a Turkish bath in Istanbul . its a jolly
good showing and the cleanliness is the scene man that
Michael Palin wishes to emphasize! However, the issue raised by Michael Palin is that this is an Islamic tradition in
Istanbul Turkey as Muslims pray 5 times a day and then have a good wash afterwards in the Turkish Baths
I have often felt that its a lazy sort of lifestyle . hanging about ancient buildings, lying on your stomach counting sheep and I dont suffer from it as I am certainly not lazy but I suppose its ideal for people in retirement who have plenty of money with friends, lovers, companions or the odd concierge at hand to while away the time enjoying a Turkish Bath and having a good time . Michael Palin is well washed! Thanks BBC Istanbul . nice work!
