sightseeing. It was a beautiful sightseeing, beautiful view.
Next destination: Night life. Place where you can watch belly dance and folkloric show.
Turkish Wine
Turkish Beer: EFES
Turkish Vodka: Raki.
Ali told how to served Raki. Pour bit Raki in the glass then add mineral water. Do not pour lots of Raki because this Raki is too strong. After you sip Raki, eat peanunts so that your throat will not get hurt and sore. Since I'm allergic to peanunts, I have to drink bit by bit. You can felt your throat is dry, hurt and sore.
Selma Dance. It's a Turkish religious dance.
The dancers dance gracefully. Indeed not easy to dance, need lots of concentration.
Sorry, for the video quality.
Everyone enjoy the night. Every dance performance, the dancers will invite or drag audiences to join the dance.
