April 29 – May 3, 2009 (Wednesday – Saturday) 在康士坦丁堡遊遊蕩蕩兩日後，睡眼還未張開時就趕往Troy（特洛伊城），途中在一沿海小鎮宿一宵。 這個小鎮有令人心曠神怡的海景和好吃到死的海鮮。在英國待久了吃得死蝦死魚太多，一碰到新鮮海產便忍不住吃翻肚皮。 從飛機在土耳其上空盤旋的那一刻開始我就見識到土耳其的富庶。然後一路從Istanbul到 Troy 沿路上的風景告訴你他們是真的 Fertile and Rich。 Joining the tour package to Gallipoli-Troy! Day 1: Gallipoli After 2 nice days spending in Istanbul, we joined the local tour package to Gallipoli + Canakkale+ Troy. Since the Gallipoli was about the World War I Battle fields [...]

April 29 – May 3, 2009 (Wednesday – Saturday) Turkish Bath – 土耳其浴 闻名遐迩的土耳其浴是利用浴室内的高温，使人大汗淋漓，再用温水或冷水淋浴全身，达到清除污垢，舒活筋骨，消除疲劳的目的。在正宗的土耳其浴室内，专门有一批称之为“坦拉克”的按摩师。当沐浴者舒展四肢躺卧在“肚皮石”上，双手涂满橄榄油的按摩师便在他身上推、拿、揉、按，使全身皮肤微红，血脉流畅，顿觉浑身轻松，舒适无比。土耳其浴室也接待女士 女士洗浴，有她们独特的方式。她们坐在石凳上，先用盛满肥皂水的铜盆，从头到脚冲淋一通，然后让女侍者用清水沐淋7次，据说这也是按照伊斯兰教的规矩。 There were 2 key Turkish Bath in Istanbul – Galatasaray Hamami and Cemberlitas Hamami. On the 3rd night in Istanbul, we managed to experience the Turkish bath in Cemberlitas Hamami. It was always great to have a massage after the [...]

Sabiha Gökçen April 29 – May 3, 2009 (Wednesday – Saturday) 終於去了土耳其，亨受了一次土耳其浴和土耳其男人的熱情。 在康士坦丁堡遊遊蕩蕩兩日後，睡眼還未張開時就趕往Troy（特洛伊城），途中在一沿海小鎮 çennakele宿一宵。 這個小鎮有令人心曠神怡的海景和好吃到死的海鮮。在英國待久了吃得死蝦死魚太多，一碰到新鮮海產便忍不住吃翻肚皮。 We took an early flight from London Gatwick -> Istanbul, Turkey at 6:40a.m. To my surprise, unlike other airports in U.K., Gatwick airport was a highly efficient one! We checked-into the flight smoothly. We reached Turkey at 12:30p.m. local time! [...]
