A dream trip!!!

Hi everyone!

My name is Jessica Silva

I love to read a lot,  thanks to that I have learnt about some cultural things from different countries. When I read, I left my mind flies as I  imagine myself in different places. Now I am looking  for an amazing  experience in real life, I want to do something that takes me out of my routine as I am open myself to new experiences. 

I have selected some criteria to choose the dream place to visita. I am   looking for one which have a different languages official from mine, it has a different writing system, another religion that we will notice the difference. So that I decided Turkey as the best option.

So please come with me, take into account that there are three things you should not forget before a trip: bring your suitcases, backpack and do not forget to package your mind opened to new experiences which are coming soon. Traveling could be an exciting experience that challenge you to do your best and to go out from your comfort zone specially when you are  disposed to try new things.

Base on what I have been researching  I recommend  you to go to Istanbul do not forget to visit the Grand Bazaar an amazing place it isñs around 45000 squared  meters and people who work there are more or less. It has More than 4000 stores and around 64 streets where you could buy different souvenirs like clothes, jewerly and handmade  objects you could bargain  with sellers to get the lowest prices. At the moment you get there you would feel like you were at home the sellers will do their best to serve you they talk to you un your native language, they have like a raddar that help them know where are you from. Usually you will be able to see a Man walking side to side holding a big tray full of cups of tea  in order to give them to the buyers. If you get in a good chat you will discover that most of the have a great story to tell about their lives since they start at the business some of them have worked there for 60 years. 

Whenever you arrive to houses, stores or any place in Turkey you will look a small object which is blue it has a black point in the middle and some bands between blue and white it is an amulet for them which will protect them from people envy and  evil eye. Another thing which is common the turkey bath for them the higiene is so important so they take turkey baths that are not just for the body purification they also are a meeting point related to Arabic culture there are not pools at that place. They have fountain where people get together to discuss different topics.

They also celebrate their weddings in Anatolia region during three or four days in this event they plant the flag in the groom’s house when the great day comes. They start the arrangements for the wedding in the groom's house and his family arrive to the bride's home to go for her, that is known as “The taking of the bride” because she will live in her husband house for the rest of her life. Then when they arrive she waits outside until her groom take her arm and guide her to home and the next day the wedding will take place first by civil marriage and if they want in the religious one too.

Please come with me, I need an adventure partner.!!!

I'll see you there.
