Going places


Since today we are talking about places, we will write about a place we woul like to visit.


Today I will write about a place I’d like to visit. To be honest, travelling is one of the things I find most valuable. A lot of people prefer to buy stuff and that is fine by me. I personally feel experiencing different cultures and sharing with people is priceless. Even though I understand that as a tourist you don’t really experience the culture the way a local does, I enjoy travelling very much.
Choosing a favourite place puts me in a difficult situation. I more or less love all places. I will select one because it is part of today’s task. Last summer I had the opportunity to visit Turkey. I simply fell in love. I would like to come back to this place one day. I would like to learn more about the Byzantines and the Ottoman empire. I would also like to visit the coast. They say it is amazing. To be honest, I would like to learn more about the language. The Turkish language is nothing like anything I heard before, much nicer than the Arab language (in my opinion) but still pretty intricate in terms of structure. So I guess I’d like to go there for around 6 months to get a good feel of the place.
I think Turkey is the perfect transition place as transit from west to east and the arab world.
