Welcome to My World!
Dear Friends and Visitors,
Utilizing internet platform is one of the core needs of the current generation, which encouraged me to design my own web page. I also value the fact that Internet is one of the greatest ways of keeping in touch, expressing opinions about the ongoing Turkish domestic and international politics and creating new communities to fight for the sake of democracy, human rights, shortly everything that ease overall conditions of the humanity. In my web site, you will find my biography under the I-RESUME, articles under the I-BLOG, and information about my daily life. Please feel free to contact for any enquiries and regarding my articles.

Spring Break Road Trip to Washington D.C.
Can you conjure up there graduate students traveling over 6000 miles in just 7.5 days, going through 20 states and getting back to studies right after the trip? Yes, we did! Safak, Mustafa and I made that crazy trip to Washington D.C. Approximately, we traveled over 850 miles per day and visited cities such as Denver, Kansas City, Saint Louis, Chicago, New York Buffalo, D.C., Nashville, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, and Williamsburg- first colonial town of US history.
Personally, I would not imagine that East Coast culture is way different than West Coast culture. The way houses built up, the way roads, streets designed and people behave is different phenomena at East Coast.
I left Nevada, Las Vegas, with a short and t-shirt on. However, within Utah boundaries heavy snow started and climate never got milder again. Freezing weather and awful road conditions scared us at the outset of the trip. None of us drove on snowy conditions before, and we were kind of reluctant to pass through all that hassle. After overcoming the bad road conditions, we reached at Denver at about 3 pm. And visited one of our Turkish friends, with who we dined in a Middle Eastern restaurant. Upon completion short Denver Downtown trip and getting enough caffeine we left the city around 8 pm. We had over 600 miles and we wanted to make to Kansas City by morning. As scheduled, we reached there in the early morning and slept a few hours in our friends’ house.
Visiting Kansas City was one of the most interesting parts of our trip for me. I never thought that Kansas City is in Missouri rather than Kansas State. City is kind of divided in to two parts like the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia. Difference is you can go to both parts of the Kansas City freely. We visited City Library, Downtown, World War I memorials and the shopping malls. Mid-sided lovely Kansas left good impression on me, however, I don’t know if I would live in middle of the country, which is far away from all major cities.
When we were in America!
