Turks and Their Love of Lemon-Scented Alcohol Washes
İskenderun, Turkey

It would seem that anyone that's got experience with Turkey can laugh with you about the country's obsession with lemon scented alcohol. No, it's not for drinking, but used as some sort of hand sanitizer (…but taken to an extreme level).
