| 2014/07/07 | I visited Turkey with my photo's friend from 22th of June to second of July for 10days. I was very looking forward to this trip. The tour's cost was cheap 99,900 yen including fuel surcharge. But there was a little inconvenient, becouse we needed to transit at Qatar airport. We started out the Haneda at 1:00 midnight and It took 18 hours from Haneda to Istanbul. I was very taird. Time difference between Turkey and Japan is 6 hours. When I arriverd at Qatar airport, My first impression was a world in black and white. Men wore whitek Kandora, women wore blck Kandora and the buildings were gray. And then we moved from Istambul to Ankara by bus. The way to Ankara,landscape seen from the bus were mountains of rock with no green. But for a while toward the south, we could saw huge field, I thought Turkey was magfnificent agricultural country. We started tour of some warld heritage sites from next day. Goreme National Park, Kappadokyua, Archaeological Site of Troy, Pamukkale, Ephesus and the Blue Mosque and so on. I regreted a little that I didn't study about culture and history of Tuekey. I didn't know almost nothing about Tuekey. I saw glimpse of the long history of Ottoman Turkey which lasted until the 20th century from the 13th century. Turkey was brightened up around 9:00 pm in the evening. We went out to town talked with local people in Eingish, shopping and taking photos in free time. We had a good time. I thought that I would be touch enjoyment tolking with loucl people. And I thought that It is good that I have been studying English until now. They were friendly, kind. And foods of Turkey were delicious, Especially fruits and haney were very delicious. 10 days Travel was up very quickly. When I am enjoying myself, the time seems to fly by. | | | | |
