Istanbul Solo Trip (Eyes Of The Locals)
Dear Bosphorus Straits,
The best thing I have learned as a solo traveler, beside than being fully responsible of yourself, is understanding. It is not how much you want others to understand what you say, but about how much you want to understand every single person you speak to, despite how foreign they are to you. We are not that different after all, aren't we? There is no language barriers if we listen more.
Maybe I am the luckiest person to have met great people and photographers in Istanbul. I have been brought to places and been introduced to ways that open my eyes. To explore the city with diverse minds brings out certain feeling I have never experienced before.
Perhaps, If we never listen, we could never understand, and life would be just a plain boring we and complaints.
Cher Détroit du Bosphore,
La plus belle chose qu'il m'a été donnée d'apprendre lors de mes voyages en solitaire, hormis la peine responsabilité de soi, fût la compréhension. Ce n'est pas tant le désir d'être entendu par les habitants du pays qui importe mais plutôt combien on souhaite comprendre ces personnes, si étrangères soient-elles à nos habitudes. Et puis nous ne sommes pas si différents après tout. La barrière du langage rompt toujours sous la force de notre bonne volonté, ne suffit -il pas d'être plus alerte, plus sensible aux signes humains et universels qui se manifestent lors de chaque rencontre? Il faut être à l'écoute.
Jai eu la chance remarquable d'avoir eu l'occasion de rencontrer des personnes extraordinaires à Istanbul, de nombreux photographes notamment. On ma conduit dans des lieux remarquables, et dans des conditions qui le furent elles aussi. Tant d'émotions à parcourir la ville au gré de mes rencontre...
Peut-être bien qu'à ne jamais écouter on ne comprendrais rien, et la vie quant à elle ne saurait être qu'un triste ennuis
Selain bertanggung jawab atas diri sendiri, hal terbaik yang telah saya dapatkan dari berjalan-jalan seorang diri adalah pengertian. Tidak melulu ingin dimengerti oleh orang lain, tetapi keinginan untuk memahami ucapan setiap orang yang berbicara kepada kita. Menyingkirkan pikiran bahwa mereka adalah orang asing. Sebetulnya kita ini tidak terlalu beda. Tidak ada bahasa yang membatasi kita jika kita ingin mengenal orang lain.
Saya adalah orang yang beruntung, karena bertemu dengan orang-orang yang sangat baik yang juga adalah fotografer-fotografer dari Istanbul. Saya diajak masuk ke dunia mereka dan melihat Istanbul seperti cara mereka memandangnya. Menjelajahi kota ini dengan pemikiran baru telah meninggalkan kesan mendalam bagi saya. Mungkin jika kita tidak pernah mencoba untuk mendengar, kita tidak akan pernah mengerti hal baru dan hidup kita akan terus dipenuhi dengan keluh kesah dan sibuk akan diri kita sendiri.
Solo Travel of an OFW in Turkey (Cappadocia & Istanbul)✔
1st Travel Video (Travel Dates: July 5 - 8, 2016)
A Solo Travel of an OFW in Turkey (Cappadocia & Istanbul). OFW stands for Overseas Filipino Worker.
My friends told me not to proceed with my flight because of the recent attacks in Turkey. But I'm glad that I pushed through with my trip and I saw how beautiful Turkey is. People are very warm and hospitable. The hotel caves are unique. Plus their food is great! You have to try their Baklava (Turkish pastry), Turkish ice cream, claypot casserole, Pide (Turkish flatbread like a pizza) and Ayran (cold yougurt drink) which are my favorites.
Hope you'll enjoy my video! Please share if you like it. :-)

Armenia/Yerevan (To Mt. Ararat-Ağrı Dağı) Part 4
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Mount Ararat,(Ağrı Dağı): 5165 m.
Mount Ararat is a snow-capped and dormant compound volcano in the extreme east of Turkey. It consists of two major volcanic cones: Greater Ararat, the highest peak in Turkey and the Armenian plateau with an elevation of 5,165 m (16,854 ft); and Little Ararat, with an elevation of 3,896 m (12,782 ft). The Ararat massif is about 40 km (25 mi) in diameter.
Despite the scholarly consensus that the mountains of Ararat of the Book of Genesis do not refer to specifically Mt. Ararat, it has been widely accepted in Christianity as the resting place of Noah's Ark. It is the principal national symbol of Armenia and has been considered a sacred mountain by Armenians. It is featured prominently in Armenian literature and art and is an icon for Armenian irredentism. Along with Noah's Ark, it is depicted on the coat of arms of Armenia.The first efforts to reach Ararat's summit were made in the Middle Ages. However, it was not until 1829 when Friedrich Parrot and Khachatur Abovian, accompanied by four others, made the first recorded ascent.
Geography: Mount Ararat is located in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey between the provinces of Ağrı and Iğdır, near the border with Iran, Armenia and Nakhchivan exclave of Azerbaijan, between the Aras and Murat rivers. Its summit is located some 16 km (10 mi) west of the Turkey-Iran border and 32 km (20 mi) south of the Turco-Armenian border. The Ararat plain runs along its northwest to western side.
Elevation: An elevation of 5,165 m (16,946 ft) for Mount Ararat is still given by some authorities. However, a number of other sources, such as public domain and verifiable Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (STRM) data and a 2007 GPS measurement show that the alternatively widespread figure of 5,137 m (16,854 ft) is probably more accurate, and that the current elevation may be even lower due to the melting of its snow-covered ice cap. 5,137 m is also supported by numerous topographic maps.
Political borders: Mount Ararat forms a near-quadripoint between Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran. From the 16th century until 1828 Great Ararat's summit and the northern slopes, along with the eastern slopes of Little Ararat were part of Persia, while the range was part of the Ottoman-Persian border. Following the 1826–28 Russo-Persian War and the Treaty of Turkmenchay, the Persian controlled territory was ceded to the Russian Empire. Little Ararat became the point where the Turkish, Persian, and Russian imperial frontiers converged.The current international boundaries were formed throughout the 20th century. Wikipedia
Turkey-Van Part 30

VAN
Van is a city in eastern Turkey's Van Province, located on the eastern shore of Lake Van. It is the cultural center of the area's Kurdish majority. The city's population is mostly Kurdish. In 2010 the official population figure for Van was 367,419, but many estimates put it much higher with a 1996 estimate stating 500,000 and former Mayor Burhan Yengun is quoted as saying it may be as high as 600,000. The Van Central district stretches over 2,289 square kilometres (884 square miles)
Archaeological excavations and surveys carried out in Van province indicate that the history of human settlement in this region goes back at least as far as 5000 BC. The Tilkitepe Mound, which is on the shores of Lake Van and a few kilometres to the south of Van Castle, is the only source of information about the oldest culture of Van.
The modern city is located on the plain extending from the Lake Van, at a distance of 5 kilometers from the lake shore.
Van has often been called The Pearl of the East because of the beauty of its surrounding landscape. An old Armenian proverb in the same sense is Van in this world, paradise in the next.This phrase has been slightly modified in Turkish as dünyada Van, ahirette iman or Van for this world, faith for the next.
The city is home to Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi (Van 100th Year University) and recently came to the headlines for two highly publicized investigations initiated by the Prosecutor of Van, one of which was focused on accusations against the university's rector, Prof. Hasan Ceylan, who was kept in custody for a time. He was finally acquitted but lost his rectorate. He is a grandson of Agop Vartovyan, an Ottoman Armenian who is accepted as the founder of modern Turkish theatre. Prof. Hasan Ceylan is also the department chairman of Environmental Engineering in the Van 100th Year University.In culinary terms, as some cities in Turkey became renowned for their kebap culture or other types of traditional local dishes, Van has distinguished itself with its breakfast culture.

TransportAt present, Van is connected with Tatvan, which is 96 km away on the opposite shore of Lake Van, by a train ferry that helps to avoid the necessity to build a 250 km railway through difficult mountainous terrain. The railway will be constructed when traffic increases sufficiently.Van is connected with the rest of Turkey through the Ferit Melen Airport.
Van is a city with a short name, a long history, and numerous interesting things to see, especially if you like history and natural beauty. Or cats.
Located on the eastern shore of Lake Van, the city of Van (VAHN, pop. 400,000, alt. 1727 meters/5666 feet) has been here for a very long time.
The Rock of Van, the ancient fortress and funeral monument around which a later citadel was built, bears cuneiform inscriptions dating from the Kingdom of Urartu (c. 1300-700 BC—here's a Timeline).Beside the citadel, the ruins of the old town of Van, built atop the ruins of ancient Urartian town of Tushpa, lie beneath a carpet of grass.
Besides the local museum, the Rock of Van and the citadel, you should visit the Church of the Holy Cross on Akdamar Island, the Urartian ruins at Çavuştepe, 25 km (16 miles) SE of Van, and the dramatic Kurdish fortress at Hoşap, 33 km (21 miles) farther to the SE. In your travels, you may even see a Van cat. You'll know it by its white fur, eyes of different colors, and love of swimming (of all things).
The old town of Van was burned by Ottoman forces in 1915 as they retreated before a Russian army which had invaded Ottoman territory in support of Armenian revolutionaries. The Russians held the town until 1917, when the Russian Empire itself suffered revolution and collapse.
The modern city of Van grew up 5 km (3 miles) inland from the lakeshore and the Rock of Van during the 20th century, with wide boulevards and town planning. Because it has the best hotels, restaurants, transportation and other services, Van is the best base for explorations of the region.
Van is an important stop on my Recommended Itinerary of Eastern Turkey. It's a long way from western Turkey by bus or car, and an even longer trip by train, so if you're coming directly you'll want to fly. Turkish Airlines has daily flights from Istanbul and from Ankara.
Turkey/Erzurum (Evleri) Houses Part 7
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.

Erzurum/Turkey:
Erzurum is a city in eastern Anatolia (Asian Turkey). It is the largest city in and eponymous capital of Erzurum Province. It is situated 1757 meters (5766 feet) above sea level. Erzurum had a population of 361,235 in the 2000 census, increasing to 367,250 by 2010.As Ancient Theodosiopolis in Armenia (or - in Cappadocia), the former bishopric remains a Latin Catholic titular see.
Erzurum, known as The Rock in NATO code, served as NATO's southeastern-most air force post during the Cold War. The city uses the double-headed Anatolian Seljuk Eagle as its coat-of-arms, a motif that was a common symbol throughout Anatolia and the Balkans in the medieval period.Erzurum has some of the finest winter sports facilities in Turkey and hosted the 2011 Winter Universiade.
One of the largest source of income and economic activity in the city has been Atatürk University. Established in 1950, it is one of the largest universities in Turkey, having more than forty-thousand students. Tourism also provides a portion of the province's revenues. The city is a popular destination in Turkey for winter sports at the nearby Palandöken Mountain.
Erzurum is notable for the small-scale production of objects crafted from Oltu stone: most are sold as souvenirs and include prayer beads, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, earrings and hairclips.
For now, Erzurum is the ending point of the South Caucasus Pipeline, also called the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum (BTE) pipeline. Erzurum will also be the starting point of the planned Nabucco pipeline which will carry natural gas from the Caspian Sea basin to the European Union member states. The intergovernmental agreement between Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Austria to build the Nabucco pipeline was signed by five Prime Ministers on 13 July 2009 in Ankara. The European Union was represented at the ceremony by the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso and the Commissioner for Energy Andris Piebalgs, while the United States was represented by the Special Envoy for Eurasian Energy Richard Morningstar and the Ranking Member of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Senator Richard Lugar.
Little of medieval Erzurum survives beyond scattered individual buildings such as the citadel fortress, and the 13th century Çifte Minareli Medrese (the Twin Minaret madrasa). Visitors may also wish to visit the Çobandede Bridge, which dates back to late 13th century.
Six kilometres to the south of the center of Erzurum is an important skiing center on the Palandöken Mountain range. There are several ski runs; the south ski run is 8 km long, while the north ski run is intended for advanced skiers. The summit of Mt. Palandöken, which is called Büyük Ejder (Great Dragon), is at an altitude of 3188 metres. It can be reached with a chair lift which rises to an altitude of 3100 metres.Wikipedia
