If I start in this way is just becouse it happened by change
It was a Wednesday, like many. I was connected to the internet when I was contacted by a person whom I met last year in Poland, in a cultural exchange
a person asked me to leave for Turkey, for a few days
I had to leave the Friday of that week, which was two days later
without knowing exactly where where i was going , I agreed, and two hours later I already had tickets
Istanbul is a two-hour flight, two hours that will be difficult to fill
not being accustomed to travel in a regular airline, having always traveled in low cost airlines
many services was strange for me. one of which is these double jack headphones , which I can not understand how to use
not knowing what to do with the headphones, I start to work on the nuts
an other thing I noticed is that there is a schedule must do things AT the right time, when you need them. stop.
is barely noon and I have my meal in front of me
obviously not oppose resistance
there is even the sweet!
and something which wants to look like a coffee...
I arrive at the airport "Ataturk", the International Airport in Istanbul
and being forced to wait there for 6 hours, waiting for the next flight
I decide to purchase Tokens
which are chips that are used to take public transportation
such as metro and tram. it will take me directly to the center of Istanbul, specifically in the neighborhood of Sultanahmet in the downtown
The first impression I have of Istanbul is that of any Western city
with public transport running regularly and are crowded
After 40 minutes, I arrive at the blue mosque
Outside beauty is disarming
in the Blue Mosque they provide a side entrance to tourists
where they ask you to take a bag and take off your shoes
and I of course I stick to local traditions
Once finished, I enter the mosque, which is huge and beautiful, with many visitors!
Then I head for the exit
in front of the Blue Mosque is the Aya Sophia, the other great mosque Sultanahmet
quickly back to the airport to avoid losing the coincidence between aircrafts
after several minutes of wandering pointlessly around the airport I finally find the gate to my aeroplane, which will take me to the south west of Turkey
in Diyarbakir, the capital of the Kurdish world.
