October 29th, The Republic Day

November 4, 2008


October 29th in Istanbul, Bagdat Street. We are celebrating our Republic Day....

(Wikipedia- On October 29, 1923, the Turkish constitution was amended and Turkey became a republic. This formally declared the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Republic Day (Cumhuriyet Bayramı) is celebrated throughout Turkey every year. Commemorative events usually begin in the afternoon on the previous day. )

Ice cream guys

October 31, 2008


I was stuck in the traffic as you can see it and there were these guys who are selling ice cream to those in need! :)

If you are curious, I didn't buy anything. I couldn't trust it.

As if it is smiling and crying at the same time...

Strange Bug

This is my husband's hand capturing poor little guy/gal but it looks very calm and happy, don't you think? As if it is smiling?

Trojan Horse (not the computer virus)

May 23, 2008


This is not about Istanbul but I want to show you guys some pictures from my trip. Truva - Troy as you know it- is one of the places I visited. I am sure you know the myth about Trojan War between Greeks and Trojans. Troy is in Çanakkale - Turkish city. There are lots of original archaeological remainings of Troy cities of different archaeological levels. However, this horse is symbolical. I don't know exactly when it is built but it gives you the great feeling of ancient times.

You can see me in it looking from the window and I guess that makes me Greek soldier, huh?

I know it feels like I am cheating because it has been a week again since I last posted but I got my mac back yesterday and had to lend my camera for some time! Anyway this picture is taken by a cell phone so quality is not perfect but a friendship is.... So here we are with my friend Esra, hangin' out... I am on the left with black sweater and Esra is on the right with white one!

Computer Problem

April 5, 2008

I coulnd't post this week because I had some computer problems. Hopefully I will have it back this week and keep up where I left!

The Dead Shark

March 27, 2008

This shark got caught to fishermen's net in Sile- northern part of Istanbul-. When they noticed they caught a shark, it was to late for this poor thing because it was already dead. They didn't leave the shark there and decided to use it as a tool of getting attention.

I felt pity for this little guy and when the fishermen saw me sad, they offered me the shark. I refused them, of course. Do I look like a girl with a dead shark collection?

A friend and a building

March 26, 2008
