long time no posts, i know!

something unexpected happened to me- such is life :-( - so my plans to visit turkey, cyprus and malta have been put on hold for the short term. only for the short term mind. since whatever happened rendered me useless in planning and budgeting for matters turkey, cyprus and malta, i decided to make up for it and do some small time travelling around the uk, and then of course write about it.

so, for my current travel writing blog, visit me here.

still, i promise you that turkey, cyprus and malta are still on my mind and i shall 'do' them one day. only not any time soon.

why cyprus

warning: do not come at me with political comments on this post a la YouTube. they will be promptly deleted because i don't do politics. i simply appreciate the beautiful world we live in now let's all get along.

because i've been there before. i loved it. it was the best two weeks of my life. if i had loads of money i would go there again and again. or possibly live there, to and fro-ing to turkey ( a girl can dream)

some picture from kuzey kibris 2009.

in the first picture you can see the flag. at night, when the lights are put it makes for such a lovely sight.

why turkey

i have a love affair with this country. to say i'm obsessed is an understatement because i'm bloody obsessed with turkey! i've even considered studying there or living there but that's another story.

my love for turkey started purely by accident. it was august last year and i was all over the place, no plans e.t.c, before i knew it i had met people from turkey who later became my friends and it went on until i just randomly found myself with a bunch of people i call friends from turkey (the list is still growing). the rest as the say is history. well, actually not because i then went to cyprus and spent two weeks in north cyprus and fell in love with the turkish language, culture and basically everything turkish.

so now i want to go to turkey itself.
