Home from Turkey!! Oh so much fun! Here are things that I enjoyed
1. Visit Bursa and Istanbul. They will capture you (in a beautiful way)
2. Turkish friends. They are as warm as their Mediterranean coasts
3. Having nargile (waterpipe/shisa) in a traditional Ottoman style cafe
4. Baklava and baklava and baklava (ultimate sugar rush!!)
5. Taking random pictures
6. Turkish delights, another glucose guilty pleasure
7. Seftali (peach) ice tea, favorite summer beverage
8. Dondurma (Turkish ice cream). Try to turn it upside down!
9. Basilica Cistern. You'll wonder why Byzantium didn't make subway instead
10. Sightseeing Sultanahmet Square and the Hippodrome. Historically awesome
11. Scaling Blue Mosque and Aya Sofya. The marvel of medieval architecture
12. Shopping at The Grand Bazaar. The undisputed Souvenir Square
13. Exploring unknown alleys in Old City. Incredibly nostalgic!
14. Topkapi Sarayi. The wardrobe of the Prophets (and jewellers)
15. The picturesque Bosphorus cruise. You'll be as smitten as King Byzas and Emperor Constantine a long time ago
Too bad I didn't get to see Troy and Bodrum and Ephesus. But it was fun!!
