It takes lady's months or even years to weave a rug.The large silk rugs can take 3 ladies upto 6 years to complete.They are very expensive because of this.The rug i liked,about the size of the one in the pic was about£280 including delivery.I will start saving up.I loved the turkish delight you could buy in shops.It was all cut up and layed out and you picked an empty box up and you could fill it up with what you liked.It was only£1 for a huge box.On the first night,we ate one whole box in a go,i did feel sick.I also bought a couple of cd's of Turkish music,which were£3 each.Iloved the music there.It is very mystical.I think wherever you stay,you will find good shops and markets on.I enjoyed buying some local food from the supermarket and trying it.Next year i am going self-catering and i will buy and cook alot more local things.Look at the beautiful handmade rugs.So much time has been...

Kurdistan is a country on the eastern part of Turkey as well as part of northern Iraq and Iran.It is not a formal country and never been independent, however, the Kurds themselves knows who they are, their culture, language and land. It is a beautiful country to travel and see archaeological sites and mountain scenery.Unfortunately due to the occupation of their land and the political situation it is not always safe to travel there but we all hope that one day they will solve their political disagreement and will be recognise by the rest of the world and live in peace.
The Museum is in a 17th century Turkish house, where the Hungarian national hero Francis II Rákóczi spent his last 15 years, during his exile, from 1720 till his death in 1735. Sovereign of Transylvania, a man of honour, had promised his followers total independence from the Hapsburg Empire. Many had given their lives for this aim; their families had been subjected to hunger and deprivation. Surely there is a strong probability that he could then have gone on to steer Hungary towards at least a partial independence. But this extraordinarily talented, courageous and honourable man had not delivered his promises and choose rather exile than dishonour.Today, the house - a property of the Hungarian State - is widely visited by Hungarians and for all those with Hungarian roots, having become a place of national pilgrimage.Direction: From Istanbul you can follow the O3/E80 motorway, at the...
