16 Konya Trip
It's been a while since my last blog and a lot of things have happened the last few weeks..In this blog I'll start with Konya!
As I told you before Konya is a conservative city, and you feel it everywhere you go. Scarved women on the streets, no clubs and bars but none theless very interesting..We even saw the 'dancing of the Dervishes'. it's a dance thats comes from Konya and was banned by Ataturk. It is performed by the Mevlevi cult. they do this dance to get to union with god. they whirl around in circles (watch the first 2 photo's I added in this blog).
We also visited several museums. One of them, the Mevlana museum, contains a casket with hair from the beard of Mohammed. ('bij de baard van Mohammed').
Ever since film and pictures usually say more than words, Pina made a short 'photography movie' of our trip to Konya..Enjoy :)
Watch the movie here (you tube).
