PostHeaderIcon Hiya

Hello :) I'm in Istanbul now :) It's about 7:20 here as im posting (p.m) It's so beutiful here, i can almost say its magical xD So lets get to the updates first than i'll tell you about my vacation.

These are the new items added to the catalogs.


Yesterday was 4th of July for those Americans who celebrate it, i hope you had fun. There was a party on cho which i couldnt attend but it looked like fun.


Now xD It has been only couple of days i still have more than a week to spend there, i dont want to come back xD So here are some of the places I went, i will tell some details about them.

This is called "Kiz Kulesi" In English it is called the Maiden's Tower. There is a famous fable about this, which i knew since I was very little, it is a good story. Once there was a king and he had a daughter, someone said that the beautiful princess will die at the age of 18 by a snake bite. The king was very worried, he loved his daughter and he didn't want anything to happen to her so he ordered his man to build a tower in the middle of the ocean because snakes can't get there. The princess was moved to the tower but she still died, even the tower didn't change her destiny. The snake was hidden in a fruit basket. A sad story right?


Next is  the "Topkapi Sarayi" which is Topkapi Palace. It is much like a museum but it is really big, it took me about 4 hours to just visit and look at one section -.- It is great, it is a historic place, all the things back from the Ottoman Empire. I'm not really a history person I have to admit but this is just too cool xD way... much better what i learn in social studies.(boring wars). Well so it was home for many people more than you can imagine, and for Ottoman Sultans. In one of the court yards there is the treasury you can see the gems and gold and stuff and incredible art work. It is great :)


Dolmabahce Palace
I found a good website for those who are curious, it has virtual tour and stuff if u want to see it click here 
It was a center of the last Ottoman Sultans. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk carried all the government functions to the Capital Ankara but in his visit to Istanbul he had a room in Dolmabahce. Also it is important because Ataturk passed away in this palace in November 10 at 9:05 am and all the clocks were stopped. Another great history :)
Chichen Itza mexico
 More coming later, i hope you guys enjoyed my post.
