Transit in Ataturk International Airport
Yes we are flying Turkish Airlines again. Soothing music , great food and gentle sexy service.
Your bag has so many stickers
Well, that's exactly what the airport guy told me by the time I got to KLIA.
Have to disagree. Don't think I have so many stickers, since I've seen people with much more. Then again, bags are so cheap in Malaysia especially Langkawi where I got my battered pink shell from. So I shrugged and he somehow allocated me window seats allllll the way to my end destination.
Earlier on , I had taken a domestic flight via MAS
Few steps to master before you take part in a Kurdish dance
I was absolutely delighted to come across this inclusive Kurdish dance out in the open and it's so wonderful to know that men and women can join hands and dance together in a big group line dance.
However, being slow at picking up the steps , I held myself back . As such, for the benefit of myself or any other foreign visitor who might be stepping into Turkey in the near future,
below are 5 clips with the last one being a close up of the footwork. The middle clips 3rd and 4th are a bit blur and screwed up. My apologies. Still better than nothing eh ?
Study and practice the steps, so you too can join in the merriment when you have the chance !
P.S. if any Turk is reading this çok özür dilerim , it is not my intention to promote any party nor offend anyone. It is just that I find the dance very fascinating and if I ever return , I would like to join in and try it out since it looks like so much fun.

12 hours in beloved Istanbul
Thanks to the heavens above , I had the great fortune of getting the very devastatingly handsome Mr Imdat of Turkish Airlines ground services to attend to me. With his invaluable assistance , I managed to slot in a few mad rushed hours to spare while on transit in Istanbul .
Omg I shopped like mad you know ?
I went to LC Waikiki , grabbed tees from the smaller stalls and spices from the Spice Market. Also got a neat hoodie for 20 lira after having to endure a very hot under the collar demo by a young man . I should have filmed it !
Seeing how I absolutely adore Turkish food of course I ate my way heartily through.
Then on the way back to the airport , I came across this group of gentlemen engaging in a street dance . Though possibly linked to the current elections , I found it so mesmerising to watch . There was a bigger dance troupe further up. But I really like this one since it looks quite challenging even with the simple repetitive shoulder movements.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
