loving you always ♥
Like finally i'm home but parts of me still missed Turkey despite getting sick of the food and missing our local cuisine. I remembered my first day when we departed from Singapore on a 7 hr flight to Dubai and later another 3 hrs to Turkey Istanbul, Dubai airport was beautiful! I bet its like many times better than Singapore's but no doubt since they are like a hub where planes stop over to refill especially where those which travels from East to West of the globe.
upon arrival we met our tour guide but crap i forgot his name even until today. LOL. Yeah so we went to see the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Hagia Sophia was once a Church when later it was converted to a mosque which later became a museum. Google to read on if you're interested. We've learn lots during this trip and one would be the women having equal rights as the men. Which means the men are not allowed to have many wives. What surprises me mostly is that the women there are not obliged to cover their head which other Muslim countries makes it a compulsory. (Correct me if i'm wrong) So we went to various places in turkey including
Çanakkale, Bolu, Cappadocia and most parts of Anatolia.
Like I've said, I've had a bad experience in a hotel that we were staying at Cappadocia and the worse thing is that we are staying there for 2 NIGHTS. I'm not mentioning the name of it as i don't want to destroy the image of that hotel, in fact, i loved the food there. I'm a non believer in most stuff including supernatural stuff and even believing in god but its only today that i think i would start believing in Mother Mary and stuff and i will lug along a rosary for protection whenever i enter a hotel.
This hotel was special, the lift doors weren't automatic, it was like a fridge door where you have to pull open the door when it reaches the level your are at, and you enter the lift, it was interesting! At first we waited at the lift lobby like idiots people were watching us also and we didn't know the lift was "manual" LOLOL! Until someone opened for us and we were like WTF?!
yeah and so we went up to our rooms and the corridor was creepy as hell and reminded me of the movie "1408". The corridor was dark as they had motion censors to save electricity. And one by one the corridor lits up as we walked. I just feel some weird feeling like as if someone was watching me from somewhere it was creepy. My mood changed and i was quiet throughout the night, i don't know why but i just felt pissed and angry, i walked in my room i can already feel the strong presence of something. No shit but really there is something there. My cousin didn't feel it cuz she's a catholic and she has her rosary. To tell the truth i didn't bathe that night until the next day, mum had her own encounter which i think it went to her room. The next evening wasn't so bad cause it left my room so i felt much better.
So when i got back to Singapore after like 10 days i was telling myself, " YAYS i'm home, and i got so tired of Turkish food, i mean, its nice eating for the first few days with cheese, bread, Turkish salad and stuff, but you'll just get tired of it after the 5th day or so that happened to me. And Annabelle was like lucky we weren't taking Turkish Air home like the others in my group or its gonna be another night of Turkish delight. LOLOLOLOLOLL!
And we took SIA instead, service was good and i kinda talked chat with this air stewardess and she was pretty nice but sadly she got to stop over at Dubai so yeah hope to see her around some time. When they gave the menu for dinner i was like OMFG CHICKEN BREAST MEAT AGAIN? i was likeeee NO WAY!! I'm gonna fish instead! :D as usual, my all time favorite Baileys Irish Cream and i ordered like thrice so far. So, back to Singapore and i helped Annabelle bought some whiskey for her friend and here's what happened.
*Queues up at the duty free for 5 mins* Upon reaching the counter, the cashier asked, "Hi welcome, is that all you are purchasing? You are entitled to purchase a bottle of wine, wiskey and a box of beer." upon looking at my passport, she said " Sorry but sir we only sell to those who are departing, for arrivals please visit the duty free shop just below." another potential FML. LOL.
