A beautiful mix of the East and the West. Geographically located on both Asian and European soil, Turkey's interesting culture could be felt once you step into the country. It's a pity that I didn't have enough time to see most of Turkey this time round but what I've seen tells me that this is an amazing country.
Traditional agriculture is still one of the major pillars of the Turkish economy. Turkey is one of the few countries that produce not only enough for their own consumption but for exports as well. As I travelled across the country, you could see these really fresh produce in the shops and markets.
Istanbul is one of my favourite cities! It's the only city that I've visited on this trip that I said "WOW! I would really love to live here!" This is the centre of Istanbul - Taksim Square. I felt really safe in Istanbul while I was there. You guys have probably read/seen it on the news,this is the exact location of the bomb that exploded on 31 Oct 2010.
I spent a few days at the very beautiful Mediterranean Sea to rest and recuperate for the journey ahead. If you guys could recall, I was skyping with you guys and trying to show you how clear the sea is! :)
