Been really busy lately so no time to record my experience in Istanbul. But there’re few things I have to write down in my journal so I can remember
( Read more... )
so interesting!!! Disappointed there's no massage...but all the sweating before getting into the "public" pool...kinda scary!!! So they actually bathe you but the water is like a stream so it is constantly changed? It's such an interesting experience...I would be shy to get bathed by a stranger, but like you said, when in Turkey...
Dervishes...they looked really nice in the photos...but yeah I think traditional dance is quite...boring...esp when I look at the ones here too...it's for tourists hor?
Yeah the one we went was recommended in Lonely Planet, although there were some Turkish local people there too. Guess we don't want to be tortured by the really traditional massagers whom I heard were pretty rough! I don't want to pay money to be beaten up leh... =P
hey, i would have high expectations of the whirling dervishes too if you didn't tell me what it was really like... i think so many flock to see them (even tho it's so boring) cos they want to be the first pple to see the dervishes bump into each other... muahahha!
the turkish bath is quite an experience!! ur description abt the breasts hit a raw nerve leh... i'm really not looking fwd to seeing how mine would look like after i stop BFg. i've gone naked for private spa sessions before, but i dun think i have the guts to take off my panties in public! post-pregnancy, i dun even know whether i dare to go topless too! ugh, i'm so chicken :P
I must mention that Istanbul is not the formal place to watch Whirling Dervishes performance. Konya, somewhere in other side of Turkey, is the birth place of that so perhaps it's more interesting to watch it there.
And you know what? If ppl tell me that I have to stripe naked before I were to go for the Turkish Bath I would never have agreed. But it was just at that moment, at that place where nakeness is second nature to all the naked women there that I mastered the courage to do it. I'm sure if you were there you would have thought differently too. (Although I did saw an Asian woman in bikini there!)
