oh wow!! We went to ephesus too...part of the 7 ancient wonders (or modern as well?). I ate 10 Iskender kebabs in the 6 days we were there. Also went for a turkish hamam, which was terrible...a guy stripped me naked and put on a marble table full of soap water and proceeded to drag me to all parts of the table in the name of a massage...disgusting!
The ship ride on the bosphorous river and visit to Aya Sofia and Top Kapi were outstanding! pls tell me more....
10 in 6 days? wow, maddy...
The carnivore in me came alive!
are'nt turkish women really pretty :)
that we me again...keep forgetting to enter me name
hello maddy!
what about adana kabab? did you not try it? it is AWESOME.
Awesome stats breakdown. Even my non-mathematical mind is impressed.
no. of times net acessed : 0

Appeals to me the most!!!! :D
eggplant dishes are my favorite.
Great stats... I should do that next time I go travelling.
Gah, though, I am jealous. I know, the letdown after coming back is harsh. Life became so much suckier after Paris, but it was the first push that lead me to quitting the job that was sucking the life out of me.
anon, you think we have a mathematical bent?! :))
sonal, we had the chance believe me, to access the net- there was just nothing in us that wanted to...
anna- another eggplant lover! yeah, the hangover sucks dunnit. reminiscing and hope keep youi going (i think...)
I am so surprised at this temperature in Turkey... I always thought it'd be HOT HOT HOT!
i was also really happy with the baingan, so only 6 kebaps....:)
