Blogs from Middle East - page 1050

Salut a tous, Comme vous le savez pour la plupart deja, j ai quitte Montreal le 30 mai pour entreprendre mon periple de 1 an autour du monde. Apres discussion avec plusieurs d entres vous et surtout par envie personnelle, j ai decide d ecrire un blog pour vous tenir au courant de mes aventures. De cette maniere, je n aurais pas a vous ennuyer a mon retour avec mes histoires interminables de voyages :) Je ne mettrai pas a jour mon blog quotidiennement voir meme a toutes les semaines. Je vise plutot une intervalle de 2 semaines question de faire entre 25 et 30 chroniques durant la prochaine annee. Je crois de cette maniere que mes histoires seront plus croustillantes et j eviterais par le fait meme que mon blog soit utilise comme puissant somnifere ... read more

Geo: 41.0245, 28.9881 GÜN 15 Günlerden çarşamba İnsan dediğin kuş misali . Çat kapı Stuttgart'tasın çat kapı İstanbul 'dasın. Tam zamanında indik. Aracımızı parktan aldık tabi park ücreti 15 günlük olunca neredeyse aracı rehin bırakacaktık. Paramızı ödedik ve İstanbul trafiğine karıştık. Bu İstanbul büyük be kardeşim !!! Git git evimize gelemedik. Her neyse sonunda sağ salim eve varabildik. Boğaz'a karşı bir kahve patlattık. Bu da tüm yorgunluğumuzu aldı gitti. Bizden bu kadar . Gelecek yolculukları paylaşmak üzere sağlıcakla kalınız. Size günümüzün küçük bir videosunu sunuyorum : http://tripwow.tripadvisor.com/tripwow/ta-00a2-8a52-4f35?lb... read more

Vandaag was het zover, de vakantie zit erop, we gaan terug naar huis. Na onze spullen gepakt te hebben, konden we ons gaan uitchecken, daarna konden we nog genieten van een heerlijk ontbijt en gingen we nog wat genieten van onze hotelomgeving. Rond 8u20 kwamen ze ons halen met de bus om naar de luchthaven te rijden, het was een rit met zeer gemengde gevoelens omdat we hier zeer graag waren, maar langs de andere kant ook ons hondje Luna begonnen te missen. Onderweg konden we nog genieten van het uitzicht. Eenmaal op de luchthaven aangekomen was het lang aanschuiven om ons in te checken, we kregen nog de kans om in de tax free zone wat te shoppen en moesten ons dan naar onze gate begeven waar we onze handbagage mochten uitladen omdat er ... read more

The trip from the border takes us through lush quilts of farmland and fields of bobbing sunflowers - the sorts of Edenesque flourishes that make the words “Promised Land” sound like more than just snazzy PR. We drive through tidy suburbs with orange-tiled roofs and leafy yards, little girls pedaling their bicycles down the street, plaits of hair swinging from their pastel-colored helmets. If there’s any sure-fire sign that I’m a long way from the rest of the Middle East, it’s the fact that it feels like I’ve dozed off and woken up in Poughkeepsie. There are terriers scampering down the street, late-model sedans in more than a few driveways. I’m half-expecting a Mr. Softee truck to come coasting down the avenue, playing a cheerful, off-key jingle while a gaggle of screeching kids follow. With ... read more

So, my last trip before leaving Kuwait this year was to Bahrain... The home of Michael Jackson, a grand prix track which takes up half the island and many far eastern ladies of the night..... I can't remember so much of the weekend. I didn't even sleep at the hotel I booked a room in - a proper UK style random night. I think the club we ended up in was called F1 and had a Phillipino thrash metal band playing.... I live for such odd moments ) Bahrain is an unashamed middle eastern party island (just off Saudi Arabian Coast) - problem is that it is people from the Middle East that are there partying. Now, that sounds slightly harsh, but people from the Middle East just don't 'do'party at all... They do overly ... read more
