midnight madness

this is like 3am, somewhere between Cappadocia and Istanbul, and this food stop on the side of the high way is packed! it's a pretty big country, so people do night trips so they can sleep through the 12hr busrides around the place

and they love this stuff

they have a guy on the bus, who's job is pretty much load your bags onto the bus, spill tea on you in the morning, and dish out this stuff about 20times during the trip. it's a lemon flavored hand sanitiser and they absolutely love it!!
