After Traveling As a Political Act

   Now that's just a summery of my 6day trip trip to Turkey. After the vacation I realized how short the time was. I wished I had more time to explore Turkish culture. The whole trip(including air transportation) cost about $3400, but every penny was worth every experience. Today we hear many terrible news about Turkey. For example,http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Yaalon-slams-Turkey-for-harboring-terrorism-379456 , after reading this article, one might have a negative opinion about Turkey for supporting Hamas ideals.  However, some people have a positive view of Turkey, such is shown in such articles http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/yes-turkey-is-a-safe-haven/article21133536/. After traveling to Turkey my-self, I now no 1 thing for sure. Turkey is absolutely a wonderful world. Turkey has such a diverse and rich history. And this is demonstrated in their cities, food, people and buildings. If you want to know what actually is going on in the world, you should travel as a political act, not as a third person viewing a situation.
   Overall this trip gave me the chance to observe the country as a 2nd person. I was able to see the historical background of this Europe and Asia bordering country. I was able to learn things like that even though Turkey is Islamic today, it used to be Catholic/christian based country. Those small yet interesting things kept me wanting to know more about the country. And someday I will visit Turkey again with more hunger for their culture and history.
