Bursa-Oct.18-19 2004
This weekend we went to Bursa (about three hours away) for Szymon’s (a crazy Polish trainee) good bye party.
There were about 12 of us that came from other cities. It was really chill, laid back. İt was nice to get away from the big city and go to Bursa. I guess Bursa doesn’t get many tourists cause man, everyone stareeeeed at us. It was really funny cause they had this really amused expression in their eyes. I felt like the foreign paradeWe should have waved and smiled or something. Some ppl approached us and we spoke with them, where are you from, how do you like Turkey…….
There’s about 1 million ppl there and about 10 trainees. We visited some mosques, smoked some kooka/shisha (water pipes or nargile and they say here).
The best part though was definetly the night at the club, Çaçaron. There was live rock band and singer had a voice like Shakira. Us, foreigners, were about 30-35 ppl. It was so much fun. I think we danced for like 5 hours straight. We also mingled with the Turkish ppl and all danced together. They played all kinds of music. Even MC Hammer and Snow! I was all over that.
İ tried ishcambe which is intestine soup with garlic. And İ mean garliiiiiiiiic. And they bring a garlic soup bowl in addition to which you can add more garlic and so I did, mostly to mask the taste of the soup, which just tastes like fat. Hehehe most ppl eat it late at night after the bar. Quiet the experience. My poor roomates. The next morning ppl could still smell my gross garlicy breath. For all you Canadian foks, man, if you think shawarma is bad, you ain’t tried nottin’ yet….
