Well, yes as I already mentioned in one of my previous notes, I have visited the beautiful country of Turkey. More specifically, I went to Istanbul. And yes I had the most awesome time ever. I absolutely loved the place. The geographical location and history make Istanbul a great spot for all who love learning new things and of course travelling. My anthropological studies influence nearly all my approaches and wherever I go, I tend to look at things differently. And that’s how it was this time. I could not stop thinking about the Muslim religion – Islam. I encountered so many interesting rituals, such as the prayers broadcasted from mosques 5 times a day! This in particular made me shiver Then some others cultural approaches of the Turkish – such as the male and female differences in day-to-day actions or even types of clothing. I am starting to think I would be exciting to write my own ethnography, I would however like to work with some African indigenous peoples. We’ll see. Anyway, yup Turkey was amazing and I am finding it so hard to get used to the reality in England, especially that I have my final exams coming up soon… I don’t even want to think about them!!! Argh…
