The array of spices offers a delightful flavor. It\u2019s a simple yet satisfying dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where do you expect to see yourself 10 years from now? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I haven\u2019t thought that far ahead, but I\u2019ll be content in a fulfilling job, Inshallah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s one thing you learned from Turkish culture? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That engaging in cultural etiquette, such as offering polite phrases like “Kolay Gelsin” or “Afiyet Olsun” to strangers, is a good way to show respect and adds a touch of warmth to everyday interactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What places have you visited in Turkey, and which one is your favorite? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve only been to \u0130stanbul, but I like the vibrancy and cosmopolitan nature of that city.
