hmmm

Lately I have been thinking of not going to Bulgaria. I would be out a couple hundred dollars, but I have something different in mind. I am considering instead staying in Turkey, not in Istanbul, but going somewhere south or east to live. Istanbul is one, very radical side of Turkey and  I would like to see something different. Not just other places, like I want to go to Ephesus and Capadoccia and places like that. But I would also like to see life in another area of Turkey. The living situations and people of maybe the rural, Kurdish Anatolia or farmlife along the southern coast. I would miss out on something great. A great opportunity to try something I could maybe do later in life, but I'm starting to think that it's not what I really will want to do. And I think that I should focus my attention on one thing...Turkey. That being said, I don't think I can truly understand Turkish heritage unless I leave Istanbul for awhile.
