Selcuk - cute little city. very touristy because its where everyone stays at when they go to ephesus...
The Citadel
Funniest merchant sign ever!!
Ruins at Ephesus
Some gorgeous views of Istanbul from the Galatas tower (an ancient tower built by the Byzantines)...
Yet again another pic of my fav mosque at night
Incredibly laaame exhibit in the Turkey military museum that basically tries to calls itself victim to the "Armenian terrorists"...when in fact the world knows that Turkey had in fact committed genocide against Armenians at the time. I mean I loved Turkey, but the way the country has dealt with this whole issue and the fact that it tries to hard to rewrite history by blaming the Armenians is incredibly pathetic. Like ridiculously pathetic. I know this is a big issue as the country is applying for EU membership, and while Turkey and the EU (especially its relations with Islamic countries) have much to gain by Turkey joining the EU, I certainly hope that its rejection is rejected until it decides to take full responsibility and accountability of what has happened. Yes I know, a little long winded, but I just had to get it out there.
