turkey trip day 5

we went to Goreme Open Air Museum first thing in the morning, which is just 5 min drive from our hotel. Goreme Open Air Museum has fascinating frescoed rock churches and chapels. the movie star wars was also filmed here.

hoho.

next we visited the local carpet factory to discover the history and tradition of turkish carpets. we realised that weaving carpets is a skill which take many years to master. that is why carpets are so expensive. we were then brought to a room and the boss ordered his kah-gia to roll out hundreds of carpets for us to see. we were all fascinated by the beautiful carpets, but also feel pressurized because he roll out so many for us and yet if we din buy we will feel very paiseh. and these carpets dun come cheap.

check out the fine threads of silk. and upon seeing this i got a craving for tang yuan.


this was the most expensive carpet being showed to us. guess how much it cost?

US60,300 leh!!! wassup!

lunch was at this cave restaurant. thank goodness no kebabs were served. we can choose between beef and fish. after lunch there was some entertainment. music was played and the boss of the restaurant dance for us. and then he picked one of us to dance with him and guess who he picked? not me of course. not my sis. he picked my mum! hahahaha. my mum is also the sporting kind so she danced with him. then got one part he keep bumping his ass into my mum's ass. wassup. hahahaha. everyone was laughing and my dad laughed the loudest. -.-'''

the very funny and entertaining boss who hit my mum's ass with his ass

boss to dad: sorry for hitting your wife's ass
dad to boss: hahahahahahahahaha............. very good very good (that was exactly wat he said)

the waiters wore a very nice turkish traditional costume as their uniform

the next place we visited is the Underground City of Kaymakli, once a place of refuge for 15000 christians. the underground city is eight storeys (B1 to B8) and connected by 30 km of corridors and passageways. of course we din walk through the full 30 km lah. btw some of the passageways are very small and we have to bend our bodies in order to walk through them. so those who have knee problems, back problems, neck problems and pregnant are not advised to visit the underground city.

ok the final part of this post is to show you a series of photos which bears a somewat strong resemblance between my sis and a popular girl in national geographic.
