Studying and Travelling

15 The nighttrain to Konya

March 21, 2008 - Permalink - 3 comments

Hello everybody!!

Last night we had a 'hippy party'(it was great) and during that party we celebrated Tjasa's birthday by throwing her in the air and buying her cakes and this night we are taking the night train with a small group of Erasmus (Pina, Tjasa, Sigrun, Baukje, Willeke, Denes, Stefan, Arne and me) to (conservative) Konya. Most travellers don't even bother to go to this city, but one of Turkeys most characteristic sites (according to the lonely planet), the wonderful shrine of Mevlana is to be seen here.

Maybe, if we have time we can travel from Konya to Isparta as wel..but we'll see :)

I put a link at the end of this blog. It contains all photo's so far.

Most important section for school is the 'Shots across Turkey'. In the end I will make a slection of the photo's in this folder for my photography portfolio. The other albums are Erasmus trips, parties et cetera.

Photo's on Picasa:

A great blog .. why dont you had to the Turkey Herald on line news paper.

Your stories, experiences of life or holidays in Turkey.
As Turkey gets ready to herald the arrival of this years expected number of tourists, we see the launch of an on-line magazine designed for those like minded people with a passion for all things Turkish. Turkey is set to experience a huge increase in tourism in 2008 with 21.4 million foreign tourists – boosting a firm revival from just 2006 which saw the lowest number of visitors to Turkey since 1999. An 8% rise in the number of international visitors is predicted. Visit our Travel section here.http://www.turkeyherald.com
