My fave photos of Turkey and a few observations (nothing deep)

I was recently in Turkey and thought I’d share a couple of my favourite photos along with a couple funny impressions. First the photos.

I’ll finish with one that gives you more of an idea just what I was doing in Turkey.

2009-11-02, Istanbul 043

And now a few quirky things I observed while I was there.

1. They put french fries in their sandwiches and burgers. (I kinda liked it, would have been better if they weren’t hours old and super soggy).
2. They have bus stops at the side of a multi-lane divided freeway.
3. You can never eat too many Döner sandwiches.

I thought I had more to say, but that’s it for now…

good times in the caribbean

Just got back from an amazing trip to the caribbean. We went on a 7 day cruise with carnival and went to the following islands: Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Kitts. Our day at St. Kitts was probably one of my favourites. The views were totally unreal!!

St. Kitts

We saw the island the best possible way. On 2 wheels. Granted a Ninja or R6 would have been more fun but we had to make due with a Yamaha BWS. It’s a 50cc 2 stroke and surprisingly it had enough power to pull the 2 of us up all the hills. That is if you considering 20km/h doing the job, LOL.

Other highlights include Magen’s Bay on St. Thomas:

and the beaches of Barbados:

and Antigua:

Of course you can see the whole photoset on flickr

it’s vegas baby!!!

Vegas was awesome, Monster Jam 2008 was awesome. Got lots of great pics.  If you think this photo is remotely cool, then some of the others will blow you away.

Be sure to check out our Vegas 2008 and MonsterJam 2008 photo sets on flickr. Tons of flying trucks, twisted metal, and massive hotels await you.

vegas

man, I can’t wait until we leave for Las Vegas later this week.  It’s going to be fantastic, mostly because it will be over 20 celcuis.  I wish we had Las Vegas weather around here…  I’m sure I’ll be taking a zillion pictures so you can check back the beginning of next week and see lots of great photos.
