This would never happen in Turkey

The other night we went to a Shane & Shane concert at the college. That's not the part that would never happen in Turkey though. These two guys came in and asked if the two seats (acutally there were three seats) in front of us were taken and I said no. So they asked me to save the two seats right in front of us. When they came back they sat down but left a seat in between them. I thought that's weird and then I almost started laughing because American guys don't want to sit too close to another guy! In Turkey they would sit down next to each other and then put their hand on the others leg or put their arm around each other. Personal space to them does not exist but to these two guys the other night they wanted to make sure they didn't sit too close to each other. It was funny. Reverse culture shock - you gotta love it!
