I’ve just found out that I couldn’t write anything on my blog since a month. So, there is too much to tell, people.
First of all, I was in Bahrain for 5 days. I went with my friend to see another friend who’s working there as an long-time intern in DHL. It was very exciting and also seemed very different after all the trips to Europe, especially. After inspecting the Arab world and lifestyle, I can easily tell you that I’m very surprised and fascinated. It’s a very small island on the east of the Arabian peninsula and in the middle of the Gulf and it’s very liberal compared to Saudi Arabia and because of that this little island is very popular in the Gulf area. According the residents, Kingdom of Bahrain has a weekly income of approx. 2 mil. $ from the Arabian tourists.
Anyway, it was a great holiday and it was even relaxing. After returning back to home, I got sick, which I couldn’t recover since 10 days. Because of that, I have no will to do anything, lost my appetite etc. You know how these illnesses are.
Whatever, I’ll post some other things this weekend to catch up with the latest news of the internet world and make you happy.

I started to study my Master’s degree in Bogazici University. It’s been approximately one month and now I recognize that working and studying at the same time needs too much time and effort. About my new university and the program, I’ll write more later. (when I can finish my homework
)
I couldn’t do too much in my life since a month or so but am planning to take an abroad trip to Prague, Czech Republic if I can organize it with my friends. I wanted to see this beautiful city for a while but what I really want is to see Budapest and Bratislava in the same time with Prague, too but it will cost too much. I hope i can make it to go to Prague. I’ll let you know.

Yesterday night I was back from Brussels and as soon as I woke up I wanted to write about this city - the heart of Europe…
Actually compared to my hometown Istanbul it’s a very small city but compared to others in Europe I can say it is very big. But it just takes approx. 7-8 hours to see 90% of landmarks of this city. Yepp, I did it!
This little “Manneken Pis” is a funny guy. That positin in which he pisses is really so naughty! It’s also said that sometimes he is worn with funny costumes and had also seen some photos of it.
The Grote Markt or in French called La Grand Place is the centre of the city where you can see all tourists together with cams
Actually, The place I liked at most is Place St-Gery which is similar to Nevizade area in Taksim, Istanbul, This is the place where all the trendy and cool pubs are in. I had a Vodka-Martini and it was so good!
I also recommend the Asian restaurants located near Place St-Gery in Jules van Praetstraat.
They serve delicious Thai, Chinese and Indian foods. I have eaten at the reastaurant “Thanh Binh”.
You can also find some photos in my Picasa page.

Hey there!
I returned from my holiday and was not able to write something for a week. Now I have 20 minutes time before the Copa America 2007 final game thus I wanted to write a post.
Firstly, my holiday in Golkoy, Bodrum was very fun. Despite the less crowd in Bodrum, it was very fun. Maybe, it is because of my will to rest not party all the time.
After returning home on last Friday (9 days ago), I went to work
Last week was very important becaue Wednesday was my birthday and I went to dinner with my girlfriend.
On Saturday my girlfriend preapred a surprise party for me and invited my friends
Today I want to cinema to see the Transformers movie. I enjoyed it very much and it was really funny to remember the old things which you grew up with. Optimus Prime, Megatron, Decepticons…
Actually that was all for now.

I’ll be on holiday in Bodrum until 06.07.2007. I will write when I’m back again but if I also can find a possibility to write there, I won’t miss that chance, I promise.
See you, people!

Last weekend I was with my best friends and with my girlfriend at a villa of my friend near the Sapanca lake. I can tell that I actually opened my personal tourism season so I had some sunburns
After coming home late on Sunday I woke up early (but not as early as my working days!!!) to go to my personal skill training at the Divan City Hotel, which is a nice and stylish business hotel. My training was about negotiation skills and I think in the damn business world everything has own rules, tactics - even negotiating!
Another good news for me was the transfer of Cassio Lincoln from Schalke 04 to Galatasaray! We finally bought the kind of player we needed for long time. I hope he creates wonder in Galatasaray!
I just downloaded a good compilation album: Top 200 hits of 90’s. I am listening to them as I am writing these lines. It’s kinda funny to listen to the songs which are born as you are growing… (for instance currently listening to Savage Garden - Truly, Madly, Deeply)
