'''Van''' is a city in [[Turkey]]. It's located in eastern [[Anatolia]], quite close to [[Iran ]] and [[Iraq]]. It's the unofficial capital of the eastern part of the Kurdish region, and also houses a large amount of Armenians. The population of Van mostly consists of Muslims, but they appear very western. There aren't many headscarfs and young people (both genders) seem very outgoing. Because Van is so far off the beaten track, and not many Turks go there because of the Kurdish conflict, people here are very friendly towards visitors (especially westeners). Hitching out and around the area won't be a problem at all.
