Introduction
 

A Turk has won the Noble Peace Prize! Can you believe it? It’s Snow by Orhan Pumak. Many Americans think that I am crazy to want to visit the Middle East. The first reaction I normally get is….

“You’re going where? But, it’s not safe there.” It is as a cyber-tourist. 

We will begin our tour of Turkey and its culture and people by reading the book and taking a 12 week journey as cyber-tourists. After that we will plan a
peace conference where we will explore the book’s themes face-to-face. All Turks, Arabs and Westerners are welcome to join us on our voyage.
