Join Elçin & Franek to explore what better things than "kebab" or "blonde girls" make for a 600 year old friendship!

1414 marked the beginning of diplomatic relations between Poland and Turkey when Sultan Mehmed I Çelebi received the first Polish diplomatic mission from King Władysław Jagiełło at his court in Bursa, the capital of the Ottoman Empire at the time...

2014 has been declared the 600th anniversary of Polish-Turkish cultural and political ties by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in both countries.

• Travel tips: Istanbul - ADAMPOL (Polonezköy) & more (must-see hot cities, geo-political hot spots and hospitality on fire!)

• Contemporary Turkish culture including the arts and music scene, street art, traditional folk music & jazz (beats to warm you up!)

• Regional Turkish cuisine (dare you read these words with a Polish accent: kapuska, pirohi, komposto, sarma, simit, karpuz and vişne!)

• A little bit of politics, religion and tradition (inshallah things will get better...)

Get ready for special discussion topics: "Bans, bans, bans: Dans, Dans, Dans" (Let's dance - YouTube is banned in Turkey!); "The man with a Giant Hologram" (Meet Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan)
