Maybe 5 or 6 years ago I got a very unpleasant grilling traveling to the US when they noticed that I had multiple passport stamps from Turkey and Egypt.

I had to explain repeatedly why I liked Turkey in particular and kept getting asked over and over "Why Turkey?".

[NB Turkey used to be an extremely popular holiday destination for people from the UK and I've been traveling there regularly for 20+ years].
