merhaba?

SwooshHeyheyhey~ Merhaba? Turkey's been fun...the food and the ladies especially. Hot and crispy (yes for both). :) Oh well, here's a list of things that i would just like to post on the world wide web.

1. Eggs+ColdWeather = Big Appetite + Hardly any urge to pass motion = Very smelly farts. Thats my brother :) for countless times thruout the journey in the van, thats what keeping us awake. The very smelly bomb. The turkish driver couldnt take it, the tour guide couldnt. Anyway, who can? Its so smelly, he hardly shits over there. Except for one time, after lunch, when we were visiting some site, and others were busy browsing at glassware. He was in desperate need of a toilet, but the best he could find was a watercloset without water. At least, there was toilet paper, but the stuff came out so fast, he couldnt really keep it in check, in the end he had to leave his underwear there. It was quite comical really, him coming out of the WC, looked at his hands, saw some brown stuff and said,"Oh-Oh!"... LoL

2. My tourist guide, his name is Murat Sen. A handsome tall gentleman who loves his job, which incidentally carries the very-peculiar-if-it-was-in-singapore-name of 'Professional Tourist Guide - In English'. Lol. I still loved the way he pronounced Mevlana (pronounced as Maulana, as in Ivan Maulana) and Mehmet and Ataturk. Hey feel free to contact him at muratsen@hotmail.com :)

3. I went to a freaking disco for the first time. haha and we watched belly dancing. shoots man, the belly dancer looked a bit like a trannie. Plus the dancing wasnt what i had previously envisaged, its a tad amateurish. Anyhow, we went to dance, Murat danced funny. But there were many French tourists who really took centrestage with no-holds-barred dancing. And i liked this couple who could dance with flawless footwork. Really nice, I must learn it someday, soon i hope.

4. Left hand drive is quite crazy. It makes u feel as though u are heading in the opposite direction as traffic. Turkish roads are messy, especially in Istanbul. There are too many streets. The highways are much easier to follow.

5. In one hotel, i stayed up to watch Fenerbahce beat Manchester United's second stringers 3-0. What a dumbjack. Shouldnt have done it. Ah. Tuncay Sanli's bloody clinical. Anyway, Turkey's big with football. Thats why they were third at the last World Cup. Theres coverage everday. Everynight theres a panel to highlight the matches in great details. The Galatasaray-Fenerbahce league match was so hyped up weeks before the match itself, in newspapers and tvs and radios.

6. In turkey i didnt bother shaving coz i hated the shaving razor that my mum packed for me. Its old. Ek. So i grew a stubble

7. Izzat i got you a birthday present and Ronald you too. But its nothing much, as usual :p

8. Bargaining becomes really fun, especially when you are not buying at all. You can cut the price into less than half. And in the end u end up paying less than the cost price.

Wah tamam thats it aight. Photos coming up once the laundry is settled. :)
