ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tarsus, Mersin

Okay kiddo, let's talk about Tarsus and Mersin. They are two cities in Turkey, which is a big country on the other side of the world. Tarsus is like a little brother to Mersin, because it is smaller and right next to it.

Now, have you ever heard of a body part called the foot? Yes, our feet have bones to help us walk and run. And one of those bones is called the tarsus. Tarsus is also the name of the city because it has a very long history, even before people knew about bones!

Mersin, on the other hand, is a bigger city and it's a very important place because it's near the Mediterranean Sea. That means people can go swimming and boating there, and also big ships can come and bring important things like food and toys from other countries.

So, even though Tarsus is smaller than Mersin, it has a very cool name that comes from the foot bone, and both cities are important in their own ways.
