Having traveled to a bunch of different places in my life (and I am thankful for that), I must say that Istanbul is like no other. It is a city that sucks you in. You cannot observe it from a distance. I feel like my photos don’t capture any of what I feel being here. There is a unique vibe of history meets modernity, east … Continue reading The whirlwind that is Istanbul
The end of my stay in Hungary was delightful. I soaked in natural mıneral baths, whıch ıs something of a natıonal actıvıty ın the country.

Add feta cheese and mushrooms…it was good. Along with … Continue reading Budapest

Right now it’s kinda hard because I’m on a Hungarian keyboard. … Continue reading Hungary

“Vitamin” Water, “Antioxidant” Water, “Life” Water… what is all this crap that I’m seeing advertised everywhere? First of all, most people are NOT vitamin deficient. (For that matter, most people being sold this stuff are saturated with all kinds of nutritional input.) Second, calling this stuff “water” is totally misleading. It’s as much water as Coca-Cola, Sprite, Gatorade, or celery — all of which are … Continue reading Vitamin “Water” is bull
