turkey trip day 3

this is the most fun day because we went to many attractions and took lots of photos. so prepare for photo overdose.

after the usual buffet breakfast, the first place that we went to is a leather factory outlet. we were treated to pretty and handsome models, who wore the latest winter wear made of leather. if you think i am so selfish not to show you the photos of these models, you are right. because i am actually more gracious than that, and i shall show you the VIDEO! hahahahaha.



the boss of the factory outlet gave a very 动听 presentation on their silk leather jackets, which made everyone very 心痒痒 to buy. the factory outlet also sell many hats and handbags which are very very nice. and guess wat? one of the models brought a jacket for me to try, and everyone came to praise me to say that i look good in it. but i look at the price and my jaw dropped, because the cost is US935!!! they got offer 30 percent discount lah, but even after discount it is still very ex. haha.




(these jackets are the atas type. they cost at least US3000.)

in the end i bought a leather jacket from another salesman. he is quite persistent, very persuasive and very pleasant, and in the end i fell into his trap. hahaha. but he gave me a very good discount. the original price of the jacket was US635, and he reduced it until US440. but well, it is still quite chor. :p

ok the first attraction we went to is Ephesus, one of the world's most outstanding archaelogical sites.



(goddess of victory, also known as NIKE.)



(public toilet during ancient times)

(Library of Celsius)

(the Grand Theatre, which has a sitting capacity of 25,000)

(this jump shot is not so nice. i prefer the one at blue mosque. haha.)


second attraction: Temple of Artemis. this is one of the ancient seven wonders of the world. but it is left with one pathetic pillar because most of it is excavated to dunno which museum.



third attraction: house of virgin mary. virgin mary is jesus mother. you may ask why she is called a virgin when she gave birth to jesus, but i think god nv have sex with her at all.



the local guide said that by writing ur wish on a tissue paper and hanging it on the wall outside the house of virgin mary, your wish will come true. but after saying such 轻浮 comments about virgin mary, i have a bad feeling that my sister's wish wun come true.


fourth attraction: Pamukkale. magical and unique terraces and castles created by deposits of white limestone from thermal springs. it is also known as Cotton Castle.





the hotel we stayed at for the night is called pamukkale colossal thermae hotel. the hotel has a swimming pool where the water is taken from the pamukkale thermal spring, and it is believed to be good for the skin.

so my dad, sis and i went to the swimming pool for a dip. my dad really has to go because he has some ulcers on his ass (ouch). admission into the pool is free. BUT, you have to pay 4 turkish lira for a swimmming cap in order to swim in the pool. WASSUP!!! 4 turkish lira is about S$3.75.

-end of day 3-

seriously and honestly speaking, i am still very 心痛 for paying US440 for that jacket. i should have bargained more! ggrrrrr...
