If you read through all my blog entries for Turkey, I’m sure you will fall asleep because these were what the output a tourist gets. Yes, I’ve retreated as a tourist in Turkey…no more hitchhiking (which is silly not to do here), no more communication with the locals(Turkish is so not easy!), no more reading, no more learning, little output and I spent most of the time, sightseeing, visiting prominent sites, wandering around and most importantly – hurrying on the journey.
One day one town; two days one city; three days one country!
I can’t help myself. Fire is burning my ass. Money is flowing out from my wallet.
It was Turkey – the money-sucking country. I think I’ve succumbed to the capitalism of Turkey.
There have been so many places I want to visit in Turkey. Konya, Divriği, Trabzon, Safranbolu, Amasya and the Black Sea Region in particular have been on my list since setting up my foot on the land of Anatolia years ago and I swore to myself I will definitely make myself here in one day. However, I didn’t make my way there in my current second visit because they are too far and hey, check out the costs! It’s not worth to pay so much just to get there and stay for a couple of days before backtracking here(I’m heading east). Let those be my next trip to the land of Anatolia, perhaps on a bike. If all are not because of money issue, I will definitely go well up to the bridle.
Despite its capitalism, I still love Turkey. It’s unfair not to fall in love with a country just because it’s expensive.
