I rented a scooter and rode it everywhere for about 4 hours (only cost about $22). It was just the funnest time because I've been waiting years (got my motorcycle license in 2001, haven't ridden outside of the course) to get on two wheels.
Needless to say, I made the most of it: opening the throttle, leaning into the corners (of which I really bit off more than I could chew..Rex, you gotta teach me), riding on gravel, going offroading on it, not giving a shit and going onto pedestrian trails, wearing a scarf so that its blowing in the wind will represent freedom and lawlessness, etc..
Kinda funny because I got caught in a speedtrap going 103 kmh in an 80 kmh. Cop pulled me over and I managed to speak my way out of it; in Turkish! I'm telling you, just learn the basics (hi, how are you doing, my name is..., I'm from..., cheers) and that effort alone will grant you forgiveness and entry.
If I was xenophobic traveler I probably would've gotten crowned -- Rodney King style.
