{:en} The magical journey from the Blue City to the White Tower In search of fun and romance, Kavala and Thessaloniki suddenly appeared on my itinerary and I had no idea what to expect. Kavala, also known as the Blue City, was my first stop; places I never expected to visit sometimes turn out to be my favorite! It was as if the city of Kavala, which made me feel as if I had traveled back in time as soon as I entered the city, screamed that it had a turbulent past as the home of Byzantines, Ottomans, pirates, and Mohamed Ali... If you have the Acropolis marked on...

{:en} This is the most difficult article I have written for my beloved newspaper. Our heavenly homeland, Turkey, and our neighboring country, Syria, have experienced an incredible disaster with many casualties. First of all, please accept my condolences. It is impossible for me to express our sadness in lines, besides, my pen trembles with my heart. Natural disasters are a fact of life unfortunately. It happens in Turkey as well as everywhere else in the world. Although I cannot fit the whole of the huge damage in my article, I can talk about the social trauma caused by the great sadness it brought. Destructive natural disasters such as...

{:en} WARNING: Below is not to scare you or change your mind but to give you a different perspective. Good for you. Have you lost your mind...? Have you lost all good sense…? Fine if you are so serious about it, and insist on being in this competition let's talk about what you need to be prepared for and need to know and weigh before you go any further; 1- Are you sure you are good/talented at this? Either through schools or sometimes independently people decide or feel the urge to design. Something I fully support. However, there is a line between doing it as a hobby, doing it in someone else's company,...

{:en} Let's start with the last 2 months... endless involuntary crying, writhing, unreasonable lack of control of anger... It's a time where I'm stuck at a point where I want to reset myself, filled with a heavy burden as if it will never end... As I read these sentences, I feel like, I feel the question you ask; "What happened?" Nothing happened, I was just left in a huge void. It is a distress that comes with walking without seeing the end of the road, on a summer night when uncertainty is rampant, and my whole body is covered in fever. At first, I resisted this situation very...

{:en} There are rooms  I have never known,  Seen but never entered.  My name is written on them,  My age is written on them,  On some, my destiny is written.  Some are ajar,  Some are locked.  Some are rooms of my heart,  Some of my mind,  And some are rooms of my soul...

{:en} I've been thinking about events that happened in different countries at different times in the world and their results for a while. I am interested in changes and transformations after traumatic events. In this article, again, I will tell about a trip, an event that had an impact on history, and my impressions. A wonderful place that has been lived thousands of years ago and left its mark and has been the subject of various interpretations, movies, and books: POMPEII I would like to tell you about Pompeii and its people who were turned to stone… In July of 2022 (last summer), I went to Naples, because the...

{:en} Although it was January, the weather was like a spring day. As soon as I set foot on the lively streets covered by a warm breeze, I was finally in Barcelona, the cultural capital of Spain, and I was attracted! On the way to the hotel, the orderly structure of the city was winking at me with its authentic historical buildings and colorful atmosphere. I will take you for a stroll through the streets of Barcelona. If you're ready, let's go!!! From the scenic trails of the colorful Park Güell to the romantic, narrow streets of Barri Gòtic; from beachside nightclubs to the city's dozens of holy...

{:en} On June 11, 2023, Mercury will enter Gemini from the houses it rules. This means that we have a month ahead of us in which communication will be more comfortable and our ability to express ourselves will increase. Relationships will relaxJ This transit will be a period when our mental activity also increases. In this period, we will be more willing to learn, there will be cases of starting new trainings, making commercial ventures or increasing commercial activity. Again on June 11, heavy brother Pluto temporarily enters Capricorn. We may feel as if we have returned to the boring, suffocating environment, that the old, outdated, things...
