FSM Bridge in Istanbul

First, thanks for stopping by on my page.

Merhaba [ Hello ]

I love to travel like all of u...Let me explain you why I am so interested in travel and different cultures.

1994-1995

I have worked in a holiday club called letoonia in Fethiye, Turkey (in the mediterranean sea). I was working as an animator and I have been spending all of my time with foreign people. I have experienced and learned so many things in Letoonia and decided to go to USA and study again.

september 1995-1999

I went to california and started improving my english in ESL courses and worked as a PIZZA GUY ( I love pitzaaaass ) anyway then I thought it can be good to study in business administration specialized in marketing cause I was a chemcial engineer but I didn't wanna do my job. I wanted to be in a sales or marketing. So, I finished my MBA in marketing and had an opportunity to work in IT business.

I have lived in Newport Beach and Irvine 50 miles south from Los Angeles. I have been in San Francisco, San Diego, Arizona, Nevada, Venice Beach, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach and Las Vegas (15 times :--))), I had an opportunity to meet people from all over the world cause more than %60 of california residents are foreigns like me :))

1999

I decided to leave the states to go and have a holiday in Europe and I went to Spain, France, England, Germany and Holland. It was a great vacation.

I started living in Istanbul and get a good job here and I still live in istanbul where the continent meets.

2003

I have visited Vienna and had a great week there.....

2004

Highlights of my city:

ISTANBUL, a world metropolis, has developed into the 9th largest city on Earth largely due to its geopolitical location. It is spread over 7,500 km2 of land and is home to an estimated 12-15 million inhabitants. The only city worldwide to have developed on two continents, Istanbul consists of, on the European side, the Historical Peninsula to the south of the Golden Horn with the Galata District to the north and, on the Asian side, is the New City. The European side of the city is the trade and business center, where as the residential side is located on the Asian side.

Istanbul has a long and interesting history: Byzantium was the city's original name; it was changed to Constantinople during the height of the Holy Roman Empire. Today, the city is still a political and commercial center for the Balkan and Middle Eastern countries as well as the Turkish Republics of Central Asia. As the city is the crossroads of East and West, the cultural, religious, and arcitechtural synthesis as unlike any other city. Often compared with Rome, both having been the capitals of Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, for its many similarities including the numerous and imposing religious and civil structures, Istanbul is a mecca for tourism and an interesting place to visit for anyone. The natural beauty of the Golden Horn is reason enough to visit this part of the world. The moderate climate, active night life, diverse population, and excellent Turkish cuisine are other factors which make Istanbul attractive for foreigners.

My Best Quote: IF YOU ARE GOOD AT SOMETHING AND CAN PROVE IT, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE UNLIMITED.

HAVE A NICE ONE
AGAIN, THANKS FOR STOPPING BY
