Currently Listening to: River Flows in You by Yiruma
Okay, sorry again for the absence. As stated before Dec 08 was a busy month for me. My Fraser's Hill trip was fine (probaly won't blog about it but pics will be uploaded in Facebook la - hopefully) and not long after I came back, I stayed over at Jenny's for a couple of days (explains the absence) before she flies off to US. So now I am back and chilled. And am in leisure to blog about my Turkey trip. I won't post that many pictures here as most of them are available on Facebook (actually only a fraction there - with 800+ pics - I had scrutinize every choice before uploading - end up only uploading less than 200 pics) and kalau nak tengok more, come to my house je la. :P
Day 1 of tour in Turkey (Istanbul and Canakkale):
Visited the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Haghia Sophia (San Sophia Church). Later on procedeed to Canakkale by ferry.
Temperature outside: 5 degrees
Arrival in Istanbul - Atarturk Airport
First picture outside the airport -in the bus-
Jalan raya dia orang...
The famous Blue Mosque
Their common walking road - macam Europe. Not pleasant to walk on for people with small feet (macam aku)
The Obelisk of Theodosius
Blue Mosque courtyard
Cantik la....
Inside the Blue Mosque - prayer hall - had to tanggal kasut. The reason it was called the Blue Mosque was because the glass windows were blue and when the sun light came in, it made the mosque look blue (from within).
Way to Topkapi Palace - I just love the trees.
Background: Topkapi Palace. This is their common snack kat the jalan - some kind of bread - macam kita orang punya pretzel.
Blue Mosque again
It was a nice walk to Topkapi Palace
Lovely view of the East and West of Istanbul. We were in the East side (European) and the West - across the sea - is the Asian side.
Love this pic
Their street cats are really big, fat, fluffy and voluptuous!! Macam our home cats...
Inside San Sophia church (which was later turned into a mosque and later into a museum)
Love the interior
Preservation going on... 
In the eveing we headed on to Canakkale - after a 3 hour coach ride (we spend more of our tour coaching - travelled almost half the country - Turkey is big!) in a big ferry - which was FREEZING outside. But I loved it! Muahahah!
This is the famous Turkish tea called 'chai'. All their tea cups look like that and their apple tea is good too.*******
Okay, I gotta stop here. More to come on day 2 of tour. Actually banyak yang I can talk bout my vacation in Turkey - experience, people, culture, language, lifestyle, history etc.- but malas to blog panjang2. If ya wanna hear more, just let me know - I can yakk non-stop about it to ya! :D
Hehehe... okies have a HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR ya!
Lotsa love and God bless!
*hugs*
