Never say never

I don't really know where I should start my word. I only know I had so many great time with you guys in one year. There was no two weeks similar coz of your company.

I knew one year was short, but i didn't know it can go this fast. I have too many things want to talk with you. I still wanna drink with you every week in the rest of my life. I'm also willing to figure plans out to spend time with you. But it's time for farewell temporarily.

"Never say never" is a sentence for me or you. Actually, it's not an end, it's a starting point. A new era for our friendships. We are getting mature and have abilities to decide the path of our life. I believe, we'll have formal jobs first, families, kids. And we can sort things out then.

Just want to say thanks to you and let you know that I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE THE PERSON I AM TODAY IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU GUYS.

Best wishes for you to gain the brightest futures.

















我们是一辈子的兄弟!

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Final day

I went to the longest sandy beach in Turkey today. I truly knew what sea looks like when I came here. Soooo beautiful. Blue and green consist of the colour of sea. Crabs are running on the beach. so many families and couples were lying on the beach. I'll take my family and love in the future to here.

Except, I wanna be tan. But it turns out to be red. Think skin dropping will happen in couple of days. Tan doesn't belong to me I guess.

So far, I don't think the colour of turkey is blue. Maybe that's kind of mood in the song. Although I didn't find it, I still pretty like here, especially for scenes. But kebab and people are a bit disappointing me. I prefer the Chinese kebab. As a big tourist country, I can tell a lot of Turkish people concern about earning more money from me.

The trip is about to be completed. Loads of nice pics. I'll pick and retouch them on my flight back to china. Well, time to sleep and say goodbye to the magic country.

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 8.5

Today I did what I thought I would never do in my life -- Paragliding. Normally, I'm not a daredevil. But this time, since I'm in Turkey and kinda hate my timid feature, I decided to give a shoot. I made it without losing my cool. Ah, almost forgot the most important reason, which is to take a pic from top of the beach.

It's not that scary actually. Only the height is about 1800 meters. Sounds scary. But scenes are awesome. Got fab pics in my camera. maybe next time I'll try sky dive. I guess I'll never get sleep from now on rather than two days before paragliding.

Anyway, hope everything is going well on you all. Pic time!

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 7.5

I came to Pamukkale for a one day tour. This should be the plan two days ago. Glad travel agency still have that in Fethiye. But that makes sense coz they need to earn money.

8 hours on the road and 2 hours in Pamukkale. It depends if someone ask me about the worth of it. Here is the pic and you tell me. :)

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 6.5

Nothing special today. Took a tour but didn't swim in the beautiful Aegean sea due to the injury on the leg.

Just found out that I'm running out of cash. This is a country requires cash payment. Hope I can be still alive with my 70 Lira cash for 4 days.

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 5.5

I arrived at Fethiye this morning and took a 12 islands trip during the day. The sunlight was good. This is the second time I saw the sea is blue like that. Just wanna stay there forever if time can be stopped. Need to get some rest. Too tired these days.

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 4.5

I said I would upload some pics taking from hot air ballon. Here we go.

The view is fantastic during the sunrise period and hundreds of hot air balloons were in the air at the same time. This is the best experience ever.

After that, actually, I've seen all of the area. So just rented a scooter and chill. Also pretty good but hot. It's the first time I know scooters can be driven that fast.

On the night bus to Fethiye, I met a Turkish guy sitting right next to me. He is a student in a university and can speak some English. As his guest, I had two cups of free tea. This let me think actually Turkish people are really hospitable without being related to any money. He taught me Islam especially the life in heaven. Pretty good knowledge.

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 3.5

Today, I arrived at Cappadocia, the middle area of Turkey.

Actually, I didn't get me destination and was called to get off to change another bus. This turned out to be the intention of a travel agency. I bought a ticket from here to the next stop as the assistance of the agency. But when I get on the bus, I found out the mistake on departure date. I thought it was may be a small mistake, however a couple also met some thing weird on their ticket. FUCK YOU ROCK TOWN travel agency! In the end, as the concern about the reputation, the contractor's owner helped me change a new and direct ticket. That the bright side. Wasted more than one hour on the ticket issue. This made me miss the robust information system in UK.

With the bad mood, I took a green tour to walk around the far places of the area. I know I don't like traveling with tour guide. But I can only accept this in an immature transportation system country. In the end, the car was broken , which consumed 2 hours on the road with doing nothing. This also made me miss the sunset period for taking pics. Sigh. What can I say?

Look at the bright side. Met 3 japanese , 3 Korean, 2 Australian during the trip. They are quite nice. Pretty happy meeting them and talking with them. I just love the international environment! I'm gonna miss it two weeks later.

Sorry, there is no pic for today. Tmr I'll arrange myself. Will definitely upload afterwards. Need to do the hot air ballon in the early morning or sunrise. Gotta sleep soon. :)

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey-- Day 2.5

Well, today is pretty hot in Istanbul. I didn't realise this is Sunday and most of the restaurants were closed. Haven't had a decent meal.

I went to another part of istanbul today. It's new, but still quite untidy.its really hard to find a city as modern as big cities in china. Frankfort? I'll find that out in the future.

This afternoon, I went along the coastline of the old part of Istanbul. Aegean is sooo blue. Sitting by the see and felt like sinking in the dark blue world. I got the feeling from a Chinese poet. He wrote like, facing the sea and feeling the spring. It's warm and full of flower.

I'm on the night bus right now. The night bus is shaking so hard. A turkish guy looked like Javier Hernandez siting next to me helps me to find a toilet. Coz the staff on the bus can't speak Really nice guy, but cant speak english. Otherwise I'm gonna talk to him whole night. Google tranlate is the only tool now. Gotta have some rest. Good night everyone!

Chasing a blue dream in Turkey -- Day 1.5

Since I forgot to update my blog yesterday, think I'll just combine these two days.

I arrived at Istanbul around 5.00 pm in Turkish time zone on 17th. So far, I've visited most of the famous places of the city. Blue mosque, my favorite and some temples and palaces. I can't remember those names. I did the cruise and climbed to the highest point of the city for some pics today. Quite tired for a whole day walking.

I pretty like the city actually. There are loads of meat. Costs are cheaper than Europe. I found good high platforms for taking pics. I'll share my favorite two pics in Istanbul at the end of this blog.

In ads and songs, this is a country of blue color. But I haven't found anything related to it. Maybe I need more time to find out. Or maybe it's a country of white color with a sweaty Max in my mind.

I will keep uploading about my trip and drinking more water. Need to catch a night train tmr. Later! :)
