@georgetakei This "Rather" person should avoid going through IS border checkpoints for the foreseeable future. Being white and old won't protect him from regaining consciousness in a "black prison" somewhere.
@georgetakei Cool! I heard a somewhat different version which goes: "When an ox enters a palace, he does not become a king, but the palace becomes a stable." (ΓkΓΌz saraya Γ§Δ±kΔ±nca kral olmaz ama saray ahΔ±r olur.)
It would be cool to hear from native Turkish speakers about this.
A π΄πΆππΆ (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
