Second Day in Istanbul

This morning we woke up about 8 o'clock and we went to have very good breakfast in hotel . After that we talked about our plans for the day in our rooms , Zahra chatted a little bit and i watched some TV . about 9.30 we got out and went for topkapi palace with tram. It was very beautiful but 20 Liras for each was a little overpriced . so we went in were there till about 4 o'clock , we saw everything that was in there very carefully.Then we went for the archeology mueseum and saw everything there too . After that we were very tired so went to a good resturant ( we could not find our desired cafe which seemed to be closed now ) so we went to another cafe . There I ate a yougart Kabab and Zahra ate Beef Krepe . Then we went under the galata bridge and we drank two tasty cocktails and meet a german giant .
Then we took a trip home and now we are here .

First Day in Istanbul

Yesterday we arrived in Istanbul , As we had decieded to use metro or as it is called here "Light Rail" It was somehow complicated to find our way and arrive the hotel "Bilinc" . After being lost in Sirkeci we then traveled back to Lalei University station and found our hotel . Zahra was furios and very mad at me . She was hot and tired . we checked in and found the hotel and rooms very small . Then i went And bought two beers and we drank them while watching TV . Then we slept for two hours and at 4 we went out for walking in the city . we saw many beautiful mosques and then sat near the beautiful Marmara Sea and watched the waves for an hour . then we began to walk more and decided to go to Galata Bridge . But we were lost again and with no map and no directions we found are way to the main square by following tramva railways . Then we went to a bar and I had Cognac Brandy and Zahra had Martini Rosso . It was a very nice place and the views were OK with a friendly staff . Then we came back and slept.

Sorrow , Sadness and timidness

Well , Its been a little while since I wrote my first blog post here . I created this blog primarily for the purpose of the conference I was going to participate in . I was going to keep this a professional blog as well as a personal one , so I wrote it in English for it to be kind of international . I had planned to travel in italy , greece and turkey with my friend Zahra . I had planned every detail,reserved every hotel and booked every flight ( some non refundable ) . To my much disappointment my dreams were shattered about three weeks ago as Greece embassy assholes denied us of visas although we had presented every documents their requested . I dont like to talk about this topic nor I would like to go through the pain I experienced in the last couple of weeks.
The thing I want to talk about is being afraid to dream.Dreams shape our lives being the dream of getting rich , falling in love with beautiful person or travling europe . So what happens the hope and passion to reach these dreams is replaced by fear of losing . To avoid this disappointments one might loose all the ambition one needs to continue in this bitter , lonely and repeatetive life . Its really really painful . What happens if you are afraid to try ? well for one thing you dont get the satisfaction of going in front of the mirror saying : Damn it , I tried my best and put 100% effort in achieving my dream , I didnt loose anything . at least i tried.
Well, I say You my kill my dreams , you may prison my mind , you may take away my freedom but never ever you can stop me of being a dreamer. NEVER
