Turkey



Ankara (see on map)

22/10/2009:
Turkey,+cappadocia


The next stop after the beautiful Mount Nemrut was Cappadocia, which we had visited the previous time. We spent a few days practically doing nothing, spending much of the day connected to the Internet, besides devoting a morning to walk through the mountains and another to meet a man from couchsurfing, Zili Kilim. Zili had lived much of his life in France, allowing you to analyze the Turkish society with a different perspective. He explained that in Turkey people are very hospitable, although sometimes it can be a problem, for example, to visit his family driving for 24 hours, friends or relatives do not take into account the fatigue and keep him awake for another 24 hours . In fact, his mother is still worried about him, he already being 40 years old, and always has to watch what was done in order not to upset the family. In any case, Zili criticized much more acute loneliness with which people live in Europe and France in particular. For example, his girlfriend refused to go for salt to a neighbour the first time he came to France and had to cook without this essential ingredient. On the other hand, in France, people pay too many taxes, limiting personal freedom, along with laws, economy ...
After spending a day at a Fiat changing the front window of the autocaravan, we got to Ankara where we wanted to change a battery that was still under warranty and meet a friend. Unfortunately we could not find the friend and the battery could not be changed instantly, having to wait six days to make all the proofs. During this wait, we passed the time while we were parked in a large shopping mall where we got wifi Internet. We acted as if it had already finished the journey, or as if after a long summer, now we had no choice but to hibernate. In any event, we were not entirely inactive, because I also spent many hours editing the diary of four years, when travelling in Europe, with an eye to possible future publication.





Romania

Brasov (see on map)

In Brasov, at the home of the grandparents of Alexandra, we followed hibernating for three more weeks, especially with the cold street intimidating. In any case, unlike that also bears hibernate, we have not stopped eating the delicious traditional Romanian dishes and cakes that her grandmother cooked, and finally we have gained about 5 kilos each. And unlike the Bears, we have reached out on occasions to walk through Brasov and the surrounding mountains, accompanied by the two younger brothers of Alexandra. Apart from that, and the occasional trips to the dentist (in Romania is much cheaper than in Spain) and the change of the water of the radiator of the engine (it had no antifreeze since I had recharged the water in Africa), have spent several days closed home, daily rewriting Europe that I want to publish, calling on publishers to publish my novel from India, considering the financial concerns that I have to start to have coming back home again and following the upcoming presidential elections in Romania , which are hotly contested, with stores hanging posters and passing by the house members to deliver advertising and matches (as the grandmother of Alexandra said to self-burn if your favourite candidatedoes not win). And finally, despite the sadness of Alexandra, three weeks after we left her family, but before that i could fulfil the desire of Alexandra to celebrate the anniversary of her grandmother, curiously the only day throughout the calendar Romanian when family and friends give two kisses on the cheek.
