Hi Calvinstigar,

Where are you headed in Turkey? I just came back from nearly a month there in Istanbul and the western coast. Though I was not traveling with children, people were very friendly towards those who were. There are many kid-friendly dishes, such as pasta and yoghurt, rice with white beans and tomato sauce, etc. As long as your son is comfortable in crowds (as I’m sure are unavoidable in Kuala Lumpur) things should be fine. I would definitely reccommend learning some Turkish phrases before you go, though most people speak at least some english.

Have a great trip!

Hi MLSDreams,

We are following a guided tour for 9 days where we will go through most famous places in Turkey like Istanbul, Ankara, Cappadocia, etc.

It is a relief to know that there are many “child-friendly food” (for Western stomach, or Chinese stomach :-) ).
