La tienda de Jordi

Or Jordi's store, in the Istanbul Spice Bazaar. Jordi being a Catalan name (for George), you would that Jordi was Catalan, or at least Spanish. You would be wrong! According to Turkish television, he is actually Mehmet Kaynar, a Turk, speaking Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and English. He fell in love with the Spanish language years ago, and change his name so to attract customers in his spices and herbs shop. The shop attracts mostly thousands  of Spanish speaking tourists, but also Sting, Jackie Chan, Jodie Foster...  Bona sort, Jordi! 

I am not getting paid for this, just found it funny. 😂
