Advantages: Important and interesting historic monument, great kitsch souvenirs Disadvantages: None
In modern Turkey culture and pride revolve around one man: Kemal Mustafa Ataturk. He was the founder of the Turkish Republic, having proved himself during the First World War as a commander of the Turkish armies during the Gallipoli campaign. All Turkish towns and cities have a statue of Ataturk, all schools have a bust of him by the entrance, as do all army barracks, police stations and other civic buildings.
Nowhere is Ataturk more celebrated than in Ankara, the city chosen by the great man to replace Istanbul and become the capital of the Republic of Turkey. Until then Ankara was a rather modest town with a population of around 30,000; today Ankara is home to some four million people. He chose Ankara because he wanted to leave behind the associations with the Ottomans and Istanbul just had too many reminders of the old regime ...
Advantages: Something for everyone; easy to get around Disadvantages: Very cold in winter; wine is expensive and can double the cost of your meal
We have been travelling to Ankara at least twice a year every year for nearly nine years now, and I have grown to love the city even more than Istanbul. Ankara is very, very different to Istanbul and, in many ways, it is unfair to compare the two.
So, why do I love Ankara? Basically because it provides all the things I want in a city (given that I'm not really a "city person"). Truly, it has something for everyone.

If you want grandeur, it's got it - even if you don't know the history, who can fail to be moved by Anitkabir, the imposing mausoleum built to honour Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
If you want iconic, modern buildings, it's got them ...

*A review of Super Mario All-Stars for SNES.*
Before I bought Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES I already had Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES - two of the four 2D platform games which have been enhanced for this collection. With Super Mario All-Stars I got to play the two Super Mario Bros. 2 games on console - one of them being Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels which was not released outside of Japan. As Super Mario All-Stars was one of the earlier collections of video game remakes it would have seemed irresistible at the time considering the original games were less than 10 years old, so there was perhaps no need for extras. Of note, only Super Mario Bros. 3 offers simultaneous 2 player action through a decent enough battle mode.
There are not surprisingly, numerous changes in the games here and there over ...
