Living it up in Es Town!

The last two days have been actioned packed, on Friday I experienced traditional Turkish folk music in the Serdivan Cafe, the entertainment was interesting, that was until it got a lot more interesting, when the customers started to get up and dance and before you knew it, more than half the people were doing the traditional dancing, I got dragged up but me dancing to turkish folk music is not a pretty sight! I was fascinated by what I would call real Turkish culture, it's easy to see it masked by the new European culture. On Saturday, The Erasmus students were given the opportunity to Midas City, an old town actually, which had beautiful landscapes and mountainous terrain, I think the pictures speak for themselves. We also visited Sultan Beyazite's Tomb. So, it was tiring and yet refreshing to experience some real culture. All, I can say though is that for the folk music nor the mountain climbing, will I be quitting the day job!
