Travelling in Turkey is cok kolay ve cok rahat.
I have been trying to see the country as much as I can and I usually take the bus.
Buses are very convenient. They have updated websites where you can see bus schedules and bus fares. Branches are all around when you need to purchase a ticket. Services from the nearest branch to otogar is available for free. Buses have comfortable chairs and individual televisions. A bus stewardess is there to offer drinks and food for free and remind you that your stop has come. Wifi is available. Plus, buses are clean.
One interesting bus rule though is that males sit with males, females with females. The conservative side of Turkey still shows.
Still, I can bet on buses anytime. From my guidebook it says that bus service in Turkey is second to none. I totally agree. It is just so good.

Spring
It is officially Spring.
Last Sunday, we adjusted our clocks to an hour in advance. Days are longer now and sun is up even until 7 PM. Sometimes, I can still see hints of daylight even at 8 PM. It is totally amazing.
But the weather is still unpredictable. It was bright and sunny during the start of the week then became gloomy and cold again at the latter part. Crazy weather, really.
I wasn't feeling up and about the whole March. The whole drama that my family underwent must be the reason. But now, thinking about the remaining days of my stay here makes me want to hustle and just take in and enjoy whatever's left of this experience.
Tomorrow, I will be going to Safranbolu with some friends. I am excited to see the place because it is labeled as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The whole town was preserved to showcase the whole Old Ottoman world splendor.
I hope the weather befriends us tomorrow and will make our trip easier. Nevertheless, I intend to have fun and suck all the good energies that Safranbolu has to offer.
