Thoughts and experience of a city girl

Crappy birthday boy, I hate to say I really miss you. Wish you have all the best things in the world. Don’t know what else to say. Hugs.

Had a wonderful Christmas vacation with my family recently, destination TURKEY! It’s the most open minded and secular muslim country I’ve ever been. Went there with not much expectation (because of my lack of knowledge about the country except Troy? haha).

Our Turkey guide, Metin is extremely hilarious and interesting. I am not over-exaggerating it when I say everyone in the tour group actually love him. He is gifted with the PR skills, so gifted he’s able to make us laugh everyday and get us hooked on to Turkey’s history. Weird but true.

The tour in Turkey is mostly road trip, and at the end of the vacation, we traveled 3,000km by road. That’s like going up and down the peninsular Malaysia a few times. Best place is Cappadoccia, where I board the hot air balloon, breathtaking scenaries from up above but the temperature (minus 5) isn’t impressive at that time.

We visited the best leather factory in Kusadasi and there’s a fashion show done for our tour group. All 3 of us, my brothers and me was picked by the models to back stage and put on a leather jacket. Nice experience cos the male model escorting me is HOT!

This scenario show how Hollywood has corrupted us:

Metin: Who is the strongest warrior in Troy history?
Our tour group answered immediately: Brad Pitt

See what Hollywood has done to the history? Poor Archilles. Haha.

Overall, I would recommend Turkey to everyone, except ppl who’s road sick and can’t stand being in the bus for 9 hrs a day (yeah, we had that for a day…wake up…go into the bus, get down after 9 hrs…to the hotel and sleep)

Conclusion of the trip: I love it cos my younger bro could join us from Germany. I love Metin. I like Istanbul. And lastly…Turkish guys are actually pretty hot, *grin*.
