An Eccentric Vehicle

Here we go with a big article on one of the weirdest vehicles I've ever seen on the road. This mobile home belongs to a Turkish eccentric who aspires to travel through every city in Europe, advertising Turkey's history and culture on the way.

The entire vehicle is covered in assorted stickers and pictures, but its back section deserves a special look.

The sheer visual chaos of local gifts from every part of Turkey... Notice the prominent portrait of Kemal Atatürk, a heart-shaped pillow belonging to the soccer team of Sivas, where this guy is from, a plastic cobra snake and a bird.

This van is a more honest and heartfelt work of art than all of the crap at the new "contemporary" galleries put together.

As if all the fake birds weren't enough, this guy has a REAL BIRD to keep him company on the road. He has it all!
