Seems like it was yesterday that I visited turkey but It's been more than a year now than I went there. I had a great time out there. The place, the food, the culture is really good. I would say that they have a mixture of good people and observing their daily life is really fascinating. I tried my best to capture those wonderful moments I had.

Hierapolis & Pamukkale day trip If you are visiting Turkey anytime soon, this place is a must visit one, highly recommended, the carbonated mineral left by the following of spring water made it look like cotton castle, the Turkish word for this is Pamukkale
This city has a good vibe to it. Language barrier could’ve been an issue if the people weren’t so friendly. And the food are just amazing, so the city itself didn’t fail to stand out for a good first impression, loved it. This was at Forum bornova AVM.

The taste of this cake was top-notch.
Would Like to say few things apart from my tour out there.
I didn't expect to encounter this news that happened in Turkey. Whether it's a natural disaster or caused by weather manipulation, (as many are fully aware now on how man's advancement in technology has not limited its use for the benefit of mankind but for its destruction as well), the fact remains it is a wake up call from the universe.
Monitoring the deadly earthquake gives us one gruesome experience even if you are not in the actual location itself. and the incident is so horrific, you cannot help it but feel the sadness for your fellow human beings on that side of the globe.
What if its your children, family or friends who are now trapped in those buildings that collapsed and are still not recued at this very hour? We have seen the enormity of the problem, and how the race for time is so important in situations like this.
It is not a simple tragedy, the areas affected are too many and we know the task to help is huge and it will surely be a long road to recovery. May different nations see this as a serious call for every leader in position now, and realize it's no joke to lead a nation. No one should be left out unattended, this is the best time to reflect and live the life we were told to do.
Yes, we are our brothers' keeper. We must all put in mind that great commandment to love one another. To love others as we love ourselves.
Incidents like this gives us reminders as to how we must value life in general and reflect on what we do with our lives as well.
