Pot Making :)

ever made a pot before? it seems there's a tradition, where if a pottery maker can't make a pot with a fitting lid, they can't get a wife. hah! lucky i'm a girl. :D
so here goes, the pottery sifu, standing beside me, with awesome skills made me feel a bit intimidated. but i did it! my very own pot. no lid! i did my very own version of a pot, if you get what i mean. it was one of a kind :P the guy even said it could be sold.

they gave me a huge clownish pants to wear. haha!

the sifu :) As you can see there's a manual spinner where you have to keep kicking for the spinner to work.

the art piece. i would not have the patience. *salute*

mummy didn't get to snap my masterpiece. but oh well, just imagine it as something awesome!

My First Snow Experience

Its snowing. Oh emm gee. my first experience. It feels like a dream. didn't imagine it to feel so soft. the weather when its snowing isn't that cold. Suprising. I always thought it would be extremely cold when it snows. but its not true. hah!

trying to make my very own snowman. but mine became 2D instead of 3D. *practice needed*

spot the meow2 at my feet. that was my pet. it followed me everywhere. starting to love having a cat follow me. hehe. :)

Cappadocia Hot Air Balloooooonn

who said someone with a fear of heights can't fly. :)

getting the balloon ready

the pilot : Mike Green

a cave house

the awesome view :)

It is really cold at the beginning and the end. shivering down to the bones.

During the flight, there's fire burning just above your head so the temperature will be just nice.

If you're lucky, and the wind behaves. You get to fly into the valleys at a really low height. Viewing everything.

Btw, the pilot said when its summer, there will be around 50 to 60 balloons in the air. crazey. when we were up, there was only 5 balloons i guess. but the view was awesome.

Never miss it if you head to Cappadocia. (Company : Butterfly Balloons)

Cappadocia (Cappadocia Pide House)

Foooooooooooooood. First restaurant we tried when we reached! Cappadocia Pide House. Pottery Kebab, it comes with beef pieces, tomato and some other stuff. the taste was just nice, as i like food that are spicy and sour. i would recomend it. as it comes with a homemade flat bread, rice and salad. (btw, look at the pictures from the bottom up.:D)

the product!

the pot that they crack open, is thrown away after one serving

cracking the pot

Oven cooked bread

Salad

Rice cooked in chicken stock (a bit salty)

the restaurant!

p/s :

Time difference : 6hours, if it is 9.30am here, it is 3.30pm in Malaysia on the same day.

Currency : Turkish Lira or Euro ( most of them are still using Lira, 1 euro is 2 lira, normally.

Weather : Cooooold! 2degrees to 10 degrees. ( I look like a polar bear after wearing all the layers.

Istanbul (Day 1)

Flight MH 0030 ready for boarding!

Istanbul!!

At the airport heading to I to the L!

Awesome!

Merhaba! (hello)

:D

Lots of planning has been done for this trip, im just tired now. BUT excited. i hope i have the energy to get going when we start. fast and furious! hah!

Btw, KLIA provides us with these really cool seats, really nice for sleeping. Sadly can't make use of it as i'm the 'watchguard' for the bags. i 'lurve' it.feel like putting chains on the bags and and chaining it to my ankle! *eyes barely open*

so we're taking a flight from Istanbul straight to Nevershir Airport as we're heading to Cappadocia first. To become cave people and live in a cave hotel! :)

Just pray i don't freeze.i will make a really unique ice sculpture, definitely!

Flying from Malaysia to Istanbul takes around 11hours plus and another 1 hour plus to Cappadocia by a domestic flight.

p/s: hope i will be able to keep this trip journal up for the whole 10days! :D
