  • 神奇的伊斯坦布尔，现代的土耳其 土耳其是神秘的。在飞机上，脑子里不断地回忆着“基督山伯爵”里对这个把东方和西方的奢华发挥到淋漓尽致的国度 – 穿着镶满珍珠宝石的裙裤的五官精致的土耳其女郎慵慵懒懒地斜躺在昂贵的手工地毯上，一手支着脑袋，胳膊上的一连串的手镯垂到了肘部，另一只手的三根手指握着晶莹剔透的水烟筒。听着思春的小曲（差不多就是小昭在倚天屠龙记最后和张无忌分别时候唱的小曲吧 – 当然不是电视版的，那个似乎有些太现代！），吞云吐雾。房间里装饰着雕刻精美的铜器和银具，矮矮的小桌子上的香料器皿里点着神秘的香料，混合着水烟的味道，让人如痴如醉 Posted by suevasil in Overland for 8 Months | Jul 19, 2009

  • İstanbul-Turkey Rarely will a visit to Turkey exclude the burgeoning, chaotic, confused, messy, muddled, and glorious wonder that is Istanbul. Istanbul is home to a layering of civilization on civilization, of empire built on empire. It's as momentous as Rome, as Posted by tunalim in TURKEY(The cradle of civilization) | Jul 16, 2009
  • Troy (Canakkale) The Iliad and Odyssey have made Troy one of the most recognizable mythological events in the world, and few can resist the chance to trod among its remains.

  • Cappadocia and the Interior A stark lunar landscape. A mysterious open-air sculpture carved by Mother Nature's chisel. These common descriptions of Cappadocia really just tap dance around the subject. So let's just get this out of the way: Those fascinating "fairy chimneys" evoke no Posted by tunalim in TURKEY(The cradle of civilization) | Jul 16, 2009
  • İZMİR (Esmirna, Turquía ) Izmir has come a long way since the late 1800s when the Ottoman elite christened the port city Kokaryali (Smelly Waterfront).

  • Ephasis Ruins We decided against going to Troy because there was apparently not much except for a big wooden horse (THE big wooden horse, some would argue). But the ruins in Ephasis were good. And the tour guide was also. Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Jul 15, 2009
  • ANZAC war memorial We got a guide for this tour, and the guide wasn't very good. Sue couldn't understand his english at all, and I couldn't understand all his talk of military strategy. The first stop was a museum. We Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Jul 15, 2009

  • Grand and Spice Bazaars The grand bazaar is big. Big enough that it would probably take an hour just to walk past all the shops. I think the sign said the area now taken up by the bazaar used to include 5 Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Jul 15, 2009
  • People in Istanbul, ctd July 11 - People in Istanbul, ctd. We're still impressed. While sitting down to have a rest, the guy sitting next to us, who sells water on the street, started talking to us (mostly to Sue). After a few Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Jul 15, 2009
