The region is known for its caves. They're used for housing, hotels, bars, etc. I believe these are man-made caves and exist since antiquity.

Cappadocia is filled with tons of wacky rock formations and caves. Some caves are totally man-made these days but, very often, back in the day, small caves would be expanded by residents for a wide range of things from simple homes to temples and tomb complexes.

Cappadocia is isolated by the lands around it and its summers are notoriously brutal. Caves make great sense for their insulation and consistent temperature.

I find it interesting that the Turkey national soccer team plays in Europe even though it is located in Asia.

It's in both Europe and Asia. The capitol, Istanbul, is in Europe.

Getting to Evangelion, however, I'm kind of dumbfounded about creators never seeing the things they make (or make stuff for in this case). I see articles or hear interviews all the time wherein an actor, songwriter, etc. says they have never and will never watch what they made. I'm not an actor but this kind of stuff baffles me.

HOLD UP.

Why does her husband have access to her bank account? Or did she divorce him because he spent that much on a cave? Why buy a cave in the first place?

Now for the song: why does she get that much money when she only WROTE the song's lyrics? She didn't compose it; she didn't sing it. In most circumstances, the songwriter gets paid less than the composer and the singer. It makes me wonder how much they get paid if she makes as much as $800k a year.
