| | About me I am born and raised in this magical city of Istanbul.Due to my profession I ve had the chances to visit the half of the world and even the smallest villages of my country.I will try to find my old photos and I wiill try to share my knowledge with the people around the world .On the other hand I try to increase my knowledge and my experiences with the help of the comments of VT people.I am aware that it will be difficult to express myself with a language which is not your mother tongue but anyway I will try to write my feelings and memories.
Now I am a retired man and I am planning to realize a world tour with car .Maybe this is a dream and I will never have the chances to realize it ...nevermind.... even dreaming is a good motivation to start.
I am sure that your comments will lead me to find the right way ... |
Free Bird If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
There's too many places I haven't seen
And if I stayed here with you, now
Things just wouldn't be the same
Well I'm as free as a bird now,
And a bird you can not change.
And a bird you can not change.
And a bird you can not change.
Lord knows I can't change

That's good Macit. So, you will be back to Istanbul when we visit in October. I have confirmed booking at Hotel Angel's Home so we have the chance to sit down for Turkish coffee. Will see you then. | travolta159 Wed Jul 23, 2008 13:47 UTC

Your next trip? Make it really unique! It's not too late to attend WM08 - Jerusalem, Tel Aviv & Dead- Sea on 25- 28th Sept (+Petra 29-30th). We want to double the num of attendees to 100! Click to learn where, when, what, how, how much! Avi [FruitLover | uie_jkt Fri Jun 27, 2008 16:33 UTC
