Fun fact: I did not know how to drive until I was 23 years old because driving in Istanbul traffic did not look much fun. I had to learn how to drive as part of my job in the corporate world. I was dating my wife Berrak then. She taught me how to drive and she was the first person with whom I experienced crazy Istanbul traffic as a driver.
