History of the ball. Ballroom etiquette
Since ancient times, people have sought to establish relationships with representatives of various circles of society (of course, within the same social stratum). For this purpose, balls were held. Ball (from French bal , Italian ballo , German Ball - to dance) - a meeting of a large society of people of both sexes for dancing.
Vladimir Pervuninsky - Ball
History of balls
In Russia, balls began to be arranged by decree of Peter I in 1718. They were called assemblies and were given in turn by all the courtiers. At the assemblies, they had business conversations, smoked pipes, drank wine, played checkers and chess. Dancing was the main entertainment.
It was not immediately given to our ancestors the art of easy secular communication. At first, during the breaks between dances, everyone sat as if dumb. And there were few dancers: the dances were tricky, it was necessary to bow, then squat. Wide skirts and high heels ruled out fast dance steps, but allowed them to take various poses, forming graceful pictures. BowAdolphe Ladurner (1798-1856) - Winter Palace, part of the White (Armorial) Hall, 1838
s and curtsies were the main elements of the dances.
Dance art was mastered slowly. We read from A. Pushkin in the story "Arap of Peter the Great": "During the entire length of the dance hall, ladies and gentlemen stood in two rows opposite each other; gentlemen bowed low, ladies squatted even lower: directly opposite themselves, then turning to the right, then to the left and so on". They danced anglaise, which was a pantomime: courtship of a gentleman for a lady. Gradually, the dances became more diverse, and the Polish polonaise came into use.
It was based on smooth movements, bows and curtsies. The ball began with a minuet - a slow, elegant dance, but complex, only following the example of Elizabeth Petrovna, an excellent dancer, the minuet at the Russian court began to dance beautifully and gracefully. They danced the noisy and cheerful Grossfather, much loved by Peter. An excellent dancer himself, Peter loved a joke and was not averse to stirring up his clumsy courtiers. Having ordered everyone to dance, he stood in front with his lady and performed various steps to a slow melody. Gradually, the tempo of the music accelerated, Peter changed the "course" of direction, forcing the dancers to cross the hall in the opposite direction, then obliquely, then in a circle, then he directed everyone through all the rooms, then into the garden, along the paths between the flower beds and trees, returned to the house again, the orchestra greeted the exhausted dancers with a funeral march, everyone laughed.0004
Victor Gabriel Gilbert (French, 1847-1933) - Ball
Peter supervised the conduct of the assemblies.
Violators of the rules Peter forced to drink in one fell swoop "Big Eagle Cup" as a punishment. The order established at the assemblies differed from European ballroom etiquette, but participation in the assemblies achieved its goal: the Russian nobles gradually got used to new customs, secular communication, and polite manners.
After the death of Peter I in Russia, the era of assemblies ended and the era of balls began. Tobacco and alcoholic drinks are a thing of the past, guests were served soft drinks: lemonade, orshad and others. Instead of checkers and chess, they played cards. Artisans were no longer invited, court etiquette became more strict. Balls were announced not by drumming, but by special invitations. The dances had their own sequence. In addition to dancing, the ball included additional entertainment: a small concert, live pictures, even an amateur performance. The ball ended with dinner.
The ball season lasted from Christmas until the last day of Shrove Tuesday, the rest of the time the balls were held on special occasions.
In addition to the imperial family, the balls were attended by court officials, diplomats, noble foreigners, officials of the highest four classes according to the "Table of Ranks". Guards officers were also obliged to go to court balls - two people from each regiment, officers were invited as dancing partners. All family members had to come with their wives and daughters.
Vladimir Pervuninsky - social event
Classification of points
Balls performed various functions, including social ones. Depending on the functions, they had their own varieties.
Court balls were usually boring. But it was necessary to attend court balls in St. Petersburg. These were official events. Stiffness and restraint were the hallmark of such balls. Thousands of important guests gathered for balls, which were held by the most eminent families of Russia.
But secular youth preferred to visit Moscow - much more relaxed, which gathered several thousand people.
Such balls provided an opportunity to have fun from the heart.
The ball is a real find
For young dandies and for ladies;
A beauty awaits him with delight,
He is a holiday for cloudy fathers.
So that her daughter dresses like a doll,
An experienced mother is busy,
And so that she does not stay too long,
She is lucky to dance. (F. Koni)
Representatives of the nobility were obliged to give balls for relatives, high society acquaintances. Young girls of marriageable age began to appear. Potential brides and grooms met at the balls, matchmaking was planned. “Moscow was famous for its brides, like Vyazma for gingerbread,” wrote Pushkin.
Public balls were most often held in the provinces. Funds were collected from everyone by distributing lottery tickets. The most laid-back of the balls are family . Family balls were organized on the occasion of memorable family dates, for which invitation cards were distributed in advance.
All kinds of auctions and competitions were held in the halls, and the proceeds went to help shelters. In the feature film "Anna on the Neck", the main character Anna, performed by the famous actress A. Larionova, was invited to hold such a charity lottery.
Children's balls were holidays for children and their parents. Most often arranged in private homes. Teenage girls danced merrily, starting games. It was the first appearance, the opportunity to show himself.
Masquerade balls were especially loved by the society. Mandatory attributes were masks, domino raincoats. The atmosphere of mystery was conducive to liberated communication.
Vladimir Pervuninsky. To the sound of a waltz
Noble balls in the 19th century
Balls in the 19th century were a favorite entertainment of the public - both high society and bourgeois, and even peasants. Everyone gave balls - in proportion to their means and capabilities.
The whole of St. Petersburg came to Princess Zinaida Yusupova, only colleagues gathered to the bourgeois family, but both of them were called a ball. The ball was a very expensive pleasure for the host. "I gave three balls every year and finally squandered" - says about Onegin's father. But I will not go into financial and economic details. It is more interesting to talk about what happened at the balls.
Every ball starts with an invitation. “Sometimes he was still in bed, they carried Pushkin’s notes to him, somewhat inaccurately reflects the situation: invitations to the ball could not be sent on the day of the ball - the addressees had to receive them in three weeks, and make up an answer - whether they would or not. The invitations were very concise, for example: "Prince Potemkin asks to honor him, welcome to the masquerade, this February 8, 1779 at the Anichkov House at 6 o'clock." However, all the rest of the information was superfluous - everyone already knew the other ballroom conventions.
0009
The routine of the ball was unshakable. Guests began to arrive after six or nine in the evening, some arrived at ten or midnight. After the arrival of the guests, whom the host was supposed to meet, the ball opened with a solemn polonaise, a dance-procession, in which all the guests were supposed to take part, even if they then sat all evening and all night at the card tables. In the second half of the 19th century, the polonaise was sometimes performed at the end of the ball, then the dancing began with the waltz. Then waltzes, polkas, quadrilles, mazurkas alternated. In the middle of the ball there was a dinner, to which each gentleman accompanied the lady. If the gentleman came to the ball without a lady, the hostess of the ball could ask him to escort the lady to the ball (for example, who arrived with a couple of relatives and was therefore not accompanied by a gentleman). When the couple sat down at the table, they took off their gloves and covered their knees with a napkin.
Before getting up from the table, gloves were put on again, napkins were left on the backs of chairs. Then the dancing continued again. The ball usually ended with a many-hour cotillion, at the end of 19centuries, sometimes replaced by a strange dance called the square dance monster.
The ball was just beginning with the waltz, and other dances followed after it, in particular, the Hungarian, Krakowiak, Padepatiner, Padespany, Padekatre ... There was a certain dance order at the balls, and everyone knows that the so-called small dances will be followed by the first Quadrille, then, following the routine, the second, third. After the fourth quadrille and small dances, as a rule, there was a mazurka. This is a special dance. He, like the quadrille, was scheduled for all the ladies in advance, and every gentleman, every lady knew when and with whom they were dancing. It should be noted that among all the dances, the mazurka and cotillion were the most "important" invitations to the ball, for the reason that after the mazurka the gentleman led the lady to the table for dinner, where they could chat, flirt and even confess their love.
Everyone had dinner in the side parlors, at small tables. At each table, guests gathered in their own company. In addition, a buffet with various dishes, champagne and other hot and cold drinks was always open at the balls.
The duty of the gentlemen was to ensure that the ladies had everything they wanted. At the same time, the gentleman must entertain the ladies and conduct small talk with them. At dinner, the guests talked about many things: about music, theater, the latest news from the gossip column, who marries whom or whom ... After dinner, they always danced the cotillon. Large boxes of flowers were brought to him. Cavaliers sorted bouquets and brought them to their ladies. After all this, the conductor of the ball and his assistants on swords brought in a lot of multi-colored ribbons (balds), as well as narrow and short ribbons with bells at the ends. The gentlemen, having dismantled the ribbons, brought them to their chosen ones, and they put one ribbon over the other over their shoulders.
Moreover, men tied short narrow ribbons with bells to the ladies' hands, starting from the wrist to the elbows. “It was, let me tell you, a nice job. You bow to the gentle hand of the lady, to her fragrant body and inhale the aroma of enchanting French perfumes ... "
People came to the ball dressed smartly. Cavaliers - in a tailcoat, tuxedo or suit (depending on the decade), a white shirt and always white gloves. Moreover, in the manuals, the lady has the right to refuse a gentleman without gloves, and for a gentleman it is better to come to the ball in black gloves than without gloves at all. A boutonniere was attached to the lapel of the tailcoat. The military came in uniforms. The costumes of gentlemen depended little on fashion and were recommended to be sewn in classical forms so that the robes would last longer. Cavaliers came to the ball in boots, and only the military could afford boots, but without spurs.
Adolphe Ladurner (1798-1856) - Winter Palace, part of the White (Armial) Hall, 1838
Ladies and girls dressed in dresses according to the latest fashion, each of which was created for 1-2 balls.
Ladies could choose any color for the dress (unless it was specifically agreed - for example, on January 24, 1888, an emerald ball was held in St. Petersburg, at which all those present were dressed in the appropriate color), dresses for girls were sewn in white or pastel colors - blue, pink, ivory. Gloves were matched to the dress to match the dress or white (it was considered tasteless to wear rings over gloves). Ladies could decorate themselves with a headdress - for example, a beret. The girls were encouraged to have a modest hairstyle. In any case, the neck had to be exposed. Ladies' jewelry could be anything - the main thing is that they are chosen with taste. Girls should appear at balls with a minimum amount of jewelry - a pendant around the neck, a modest bracelet.
Friedrich Kemmerer-Minuet 1890
The cut of ball gowns depended on fashion, but one thing remained unchanged in it - open neck and shoulders. With such a cut of the dress, neither a lady nor a girl could appear in the world without jewelry around the neck - a chain with a pendant, a necklace - something must have been worn.
Felix Yusupov in his memoirs describes such a case: his parents, Count Sumarokov-Elston and Princess Yusupova, went to a performance at the Mariinsky Theater. During the intermission, the maid of honor of Empress Maria Feodorovna came into their box and asked the princess to remove the family diamond that hung around the neck of Zinaida Yusupova, since the empress did not decorate herself with a diamond of such a size that day. The princess immediately did this, but, since she had no other decoration for her neck, the married couple was forced to leave the theater.
In addition, in the 1820s-1830s. it was indecent for a lady and a girl to appear in the world without a bouquet of flowers: they carried it in their hands, in their hair, attached to a dress at the waist or on their chest. A fan was an obligatory attribute. It could be left in the ballroom in its place, it was possible to hold it in the left hand (which lies on the partner’s shoulder) during the dance. Little things were put in a bag (reticule), which was also left in its place.
As a rule, they came to the ball a little late. The host met the first guests, latecomers joined the dancers sometimes even without announcing the persons. At the ball, the ladies took small books with them to write down the sequence of dances; towards the end of the century, these books began to be given out at balls.
In addition to dancing and dinner at the balls, guests were entertained by games: calm, such as cards, cheerful and moving, such as phantoms. They often parted in the morning: "Half-sleepy in bed from the ball, he rides: and restless Petersburg has already been awakened by a drum."
Within a month after the ball, the guests had to pay a courtesy call to the hosts.

Vladimir Pervuninsky - Waltz You must appear elegantly dressed at the ball; especially the toilet of ladies should be distinguished by its sophistication. No flashy and/or strictly historical attire required. In addition, we do not seek to reconstruct any particular era, but you should dress neatly and elegantly for the ball. A young man, accepting invitations to a ball, at the same time undertakes to dance. In the event of a shortage of gentlemen, the obligation to dance falls on everyone. To express displeasure or to let it be noticed that you are dancing out of necessity is extremely indecent. On the contrary, whoever wants to become the darling of society must indulge in pleasure with all his soul and dance without exception with every lady.
Eugenio Lucas Villamil (1858-19)18) - Dancing in the palace - Baile en palacio, 1894
There is nothing funnier than young people playing the role of old people and not dancing, out of a desire to show that they do not find any pleasure in this entertainment. They then act clearly impolite and indecent, especially when they later dance with the chosen young lady, showing that their aversion to dancing does not exist at all. Such a manner of behaving offends the other ladies, and the gentleman deserves to be rejected by the lady he has chosen. In any case, it would not hurt the preferred person to take the above advice as a rule - this is the best way to make the gentleman feel all the indelicacy, all the ridiculous side of such behavior and at the same time protect yourself from the hostile looks of other ladies.
The gentleman inviting the lady to the dance approaches her and, bowing gracefully, makes an invitation in the most polite and delicate form: "Let me have the pleasure of inviting you to [dance].
" If the invitee is well known to you, then simply: "Do not deny me the pleasure of dancing with you."
It is extremely indecent to invite a lady to whom you are not represented. To do this, it is best to either find a person who agrees to introduce you, or, as a last resort, introduce yourself.
When a gentleman invites a lady, she bows her head in agreement, saying: "with pleasure", "good", or: "I'm sorry, I already promised", or: "I'm already dancing." A lady who does not want to dance with any gentleman should not resort to the trick: "I'm tired" and then accept the invitation of another. So she can get herself in big trouble. The cavalier, who was refused, will probably follow whether the reason was really fatigue or simply unwillingness to dance with him. Not a single well-bred person should allow herself, refusing one gentleman, to immediately go dancing with another. If a lady accidentally forgot that she gave her word, and the time she goes to dance with another gentleman is the first, then she should apologize.
To get out of this unpleasant situation, it is best to completely abandon the dance or leave the first gentleman to dance another dance with her. In any case, this situation is very awkward and unpleasant, and the ladies should have avoided it by writing down the names of the gentlemen who invited her on special cards of various types and devices, depending on the fashion, hanging on a fan chain or crocheted to the bodice.
Eduardo Leon Garrido (1856-1949) - El Bale (dance)
To invite a lady and forget about it later is not only the most unforgivable impoliteness, but simply rudeness on the part of the gentleman; in such a case, he quite rightly incurs the wrath of the invited and the severe censure of the whole society.
On the other hand, the lady left without an invitation should calmly endure this little trouble and not show her displeasure: not a single feature of her face should betray her disappointment and bad mood.
She needs to look like she is looking at the dancers with great pleasure.
It also goes without saying that a gentleman who invited a lady and was refused has no right to immediately, in the presence of this lady, invite another to dance. That would be the height of indecency.
When inviting, you should look into the eyes of a lady, then she will definitely understand that you are addressing her. But if your bow was taken personally not by the one you wanted to invite, in no case show your disappointment, and even more so do not say: "I did not want to invite you"; observe the rules of decency and learn to blame yourself first of all for awkwardness, and not others; and even better - do not blame, but come out of them with humor.
In a situation where your companion is invited to a dance by your acquaintance, you invite his lady so that she will not be left alone.
Sir William Quiller Orchardson (1832-1910) - Her First Dance, 1884
In the dance the woman is led by her partner and all mistakes must be taken personally; if a couple accidentally hit another couple, then the man apologizes - after all, he is the leader.
During the dance, the partners should not be too far apart, but should not cling to each other. Dancing with a lady wearing a low-cut dress, a man cannot afford to hold her by her bare shoulders or back; in this case, the most successful position for the hands is on the side, at the waist.
It is considered the height of faux pas to come to the evening with your lady and dance all the time with others. Do not be surprised if by the end of the evening she would rather have someone else walk her home. However, it is indecent for a lady to dance a lot with the same gentleman; you can accept two or three invitations from one gentleman, especially if this gentleman is one of your acquaintances and if the dances are different. The same applies to men. It is indecent to constantly invite the same lady.
Don't forget for a moment at the ball that the facial expression should be cheerful and kind. A sad or angry face at a ball is the same as dancing at a wake.
In general, at a ball one should behave modestly, dance gracefully and strictly observe decency; jumping, breaking, taking cutesy poses would mean exposing yourself in the eyes of some as an object worthy of ridicule, and in the eyes of others - an object worthy of pity.
A lady should not approach the buffet except arm in arm with a gentleman who gives the order to give her what she wants.
At the end of the dance, the gentleman must bow to the lady and bring her to the place or offer to take her to the buffet. Taking the lady to her place, the gentleman should bow and move away, but not stay to talk with her. In turn, the lady, taken by the gentleman to the place, should not hold the gentleman to talk with her.
As it is considered indecent to speak incessantly over the ear of your lady during a dance, it would certainly be awkward and impolite not to say a few words to her.
At the end of the evening, the gentleman must take his lady home.
Vladimir Pervuninsky - Stranger
Information also required at the ball: Fan language the fan is unfolded, the lady waves it off - "I'm married";
the fan closes - "you are indifferent to me";
one petal opens - "be satisfied with my friendship";
the fan is fully opened - "you are my idol.
"
If the interlocutor asks for a fan (although this is actually a very obscene request):
file with the upper end - sympathy and love;
submit with a pen - contempt;
file open, feathers forward - ask for love.

About Turkey in 47 Facts
Traveler Tanya Gendel spent three months in Turkey east to the west. Throughout November, she lived among Turkish students in Cappadocia and managed to notice many interesting features about the people and the country. Tanya shares her observations about who the Turks are and how they live with 34travel.
1. Here it is customary to take off your shoes before entering the house, so each apartment has a real shoe store and, interestingly, no one will steal shoes! Why take up extra space in the apartment and pollute it, the Turks say, if there is plenty of space for shoes on the landing?
2.
Turkish cuisine is one of the best! You can’t just pick up and stop eating – so you have to walk a lot! Both men and women are excellent cooks. Moreover, in modern families they are engaged in cooking “in a European way” - whoever comes home from work first, cooks.
3. It is impossible to imagine a day without a glass of tea, but what is there a glass - such a good teapot. Even dubious fans of teas will drink it there three or four times a day. Moreover, it is customary to drink tea not after a meal, but during or just like that. By the way, making tea is a separate issue. This is not just a bag of boiling water for you to pour. A whole book can be written about this process - except that the Chinese have become more sophisticated.
4. Men call each other "kanka" all the time, which means something like "bro." And this is how they address both close friends and just acquaintances, from whom you need something and you show increased respect.
Appeal so only to equal in age.
5. After a couple of visits to the store, you know the name of the seller, and he knows your name. “Would you like some bread, milk and a bag of tangerines (at € 0.25 per kilo!), as usual?” - will always cheer you up in the morning.
6. The Turks are very fond of using the very useful word "very": very beautiful, very good (çok güzel, çok iyi). They explain this by the fact that by nature they are extremely emotional and just words to describe them are always not enough.
7. The most common word in the language is güzel. Universal word! It means good, and tasty, and beautiful. And the girl guzel, and the weather guzel, and baklava guzel, and everything in general guzel. Guzel country!
8. The expression “garbage recycling” here causes big eyes and misunderstanding of what is happening. In Turkey, no one cares about separating waste.
9. Each purchase (even in a package) is put in a bag for you and at the exit in one big bag. Maybe even two! If you buy only bread and milk, you will receive three packages. All this is free in any store and market. And of course they also have a special bag for bags in the kitchen.
10. In Turkish there is no division into “he” and “she”. It is possible to understand that we are talking about a man or a woman only on the basis of the name or polite addresses like “miss” and “sir”.
11. Wherever you go, you will see a portrait of Atatürk, the father of the Turkish people. And not alone. After Allah, he is in an honorable second place, and for the unbelievers, even in the first.
12. The main unspoken rule about Atatürk is not to say anything bad about Atatürk. In no case!
13. Over time, you get used to seeing yogurt not as a dessert, but as a normal addition to food.
Anyone, even soup. And the Turks claim that it was they who invented it about 1500 years ago. The usual sweet fruit yogurt is also sold here, but it is not very popular and is not as cheap as the plain one.
14. Gradually you get used to the sounds of adhan - the call to prayer, and this music from mosques stops waking you up at night. Although at first waking up at night will be a dubious pleasure.
15. Only one style of road crossing is accepted and successfully works here - “kamikaze-style”. The bottom line is that you need to run across in a matter of centimeters from flying cars. Zebras, traffic lights? What's this?
16. There is a Turkish flag in your room. All other rooms too. There is no apartment in Turkey without the Turkish flag, as well as a shop, a shop, and even more so a state institution. If suddenly there is no flag in the room, it means that it hangs in our hearts, the Turks say.
17. Instead of "ok" they say the local "tamam" here.
18. When you meet, you hug everyone and kiss your cheeks three times. Men and women - it doesn't matter, they love to smack here.
19. On the street, it is quite possible to meet two guys walking hand in hand: men here express their friendship in this way and easily hug each other and kiss on the cheek. At the same time, it is considered indecent to show great tenderness to each other on the streets. The maximum is to hold hands and smack on the cheeks. In Istanbul, morals, of course, are not so strict.
20. Olives, cheese, scrambled eggs, yogurt - the standard breakfast of any rogue. Even if you are a student and the wind is walking in your pocket, these holy foods will always be in your refrigerator. Then you already eat pasta like a normal person.
21. In Turkish there is an unusual expression "to drink a cigarette".
The verb "içmek" means both "drink" and "smoke" at the same time, because the Turks do not have a separate word for smoking, so "let's go have a drink" will be a mystery to you - will you get a glass of water or a hookah?
22. Although alcohol is not prohibited in the country, it is so expensive that drinking a can of beer with friends comes out in a good amount. Is that the local "Efes" is not so affordable, and even then in big cities. A good locally produced wine in Cappadocia starts from €6.
23. All this baklava, kunefe and other Turkish delights are also very expensive.
24. After eating in a more or less decent establishment, you always expect wet wipes with a very pronounced aroma of lemon cologne along with the bill. They even have a special name - "colony".
25. There are a lot of common words in our languages - shower, sofa, hat, vase, ticket.
And even a cishotka and a sack. And there are similar-sounding words with different meanings: a woman in Turkish means father (with an emphasis on the second “a”), a mess is a glass, a button accordion is a woman, a tavern is a pumpkin, a brick is straw, a fist is an ear, tobacco is a plate and a barn - castle! And "Baran" is a completely ordinary and not at all funny male name.
26. In Turkish there is a cool word "nazlanmak", in Russian there is no analogue, but it means to pretend to be indifferent when in fact something really worries you. Saying "no" when you really want to say "yes". Such passion!
27. Refined sugar is ubiquitous, and in cafes each cube is most often packed in a separate piece of paper. Here with the usual bulk can be a problem. And you can’t find beets in the whole country, so you can’t make borscht here.
28. If you bite into a kebab, you might find french fries inside!
29.
Turks' favorite pastime is to play backgammon while drinking tea. This is how hours can pass.
30. Turks are very fond of singing and many have naturally good voices. And they sing often - cooking, cleaning the house, sitting at the table and, of course, in the shower.
31. Any foreigner who knows at least half a word of Turkish immediately arouses emotion and joy. One “merhab” (“hello”) is enough to make you smile all day long. In general, foreigners are treated kindly here, they always try to help (but this may not be so pronounced in the most touristic places).
32. Kurds - a people living in Eastern Turkey, often from mountainous and inaccessible regions of the country, causes hostility here, albeit hidden.
33. Outwardly, the Turks are very different from each other: from dark brunettes with swarthy skin, as we used to imagine them, to fair-skinned blonds, whom even the Turks themselves often mistake for Europeans.
34. A special object of male pride in the generation over 45 is a mustache. As soon as the uncle begins to turn gray, he immediately grows a dashing mustache and is considered handsome.
35. Turks highly value friendship and will do anything for a friend. The most important thing is the parents. Turks are self-critical and have a good sense of humor. Moreover, the blacker and sarcastic the joke, the more it is appreciated. Black humor rules in Turkey.
37. Turks are quite polite in dealing with each other, especially in small towns. And they are very fond of exchanging phrases, standing together in line or waiting for the green light of a traffic light.
38. Turks are extremely proud of their hospitality, and a traveler here can easily be invited to visit at least to drink tea.
39.
39. Here they love plump girls, in Turkey there is a saying that describes the beauty of a woman: “She was so beautiful that she had to turn around to enter the door.
”
40. Almost all men smoke, women less often, but also do not shun. Hookahs are ubiquitous here.
41. All rumors that Slavic girls in Turkey are considered girls of "easy virtue" are not greatly exaggerated. Therefore, girls named Natasha will have to somehow hide their name.
42. In small towns and in traditional families, toilet water is still preferred over toilet paper.
43. Most of the women do not cover their heads, but recently a fashion for headscarves has appeared among young people, which is not connected with religion. At the same time, another light and fluffy scarf is placed under the scarf, which creates the effect of a huge head. This is considered beautiful.
44. Shoe shiners can be found in Istanbul, and this is not a tourist attraction.
45. At the entrance to almost every city there is a huge sculpture associated with the main occupation in this city.
