Yeap. I followed my mum along with her colleague to Turkey on December.
If you asked how was it? Hmm it wasn't really that fun, quite boring since its a heritage place and I'm not that into history but definitely can't deny its beauty. Can you believed that even camera can't even captured its beauty! You have to witness its beauty on your own.
To be honest, Turkey were never once in my must travel list but since my mum sponsor the trip, so why not right? As I love to explore different places and being able to travel to different places is a gift as not everyone gets to travel. Therefore, I'm blessed that I'm being able to travel quite often.

Turkish Cuisine
Honestly speaking, Turkish cuisine isn't my cup of tea. Not much varieties of food available or maybe because I'm with tour, that's why I din manage to try much local cuisine?
But anyway, during my trip, meals are typically the same everyday until I lost my appetite the last few days. How I miss Malaysian food! Thanks to this trip, now I understand how does Malaysian student studying aboard feels.
Here goes my everyday meal..
 |
| First, soup will be served along with bread as starter |
 |
| Main course will be rice with meat and stir vegetables |
 |
Dessert will be served at the end. Turkish dessert are extremely sweet! I couldn't take their sweetness! |
 |
| Bagel is popular in Turkey! You can spot them anywhere along the street |
 |
| So cute.. |
 |
Not to miss - their famous Turkish ice cream! Ice cream taste better in winter lol |
 |
Manage to tried all different flavors of magnum! Strawberry & white chocolate are not available in Malaysia |
 |
| Pomegranate are everywhere as well! |
