Marmaris/Ephesus

The answer to the question “ where do the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea meet” is Marmaris. That is the place we visited last weekend, and this is the place worth to see! City with nice seashore, yachts and wonderful views everywhere around you! Just fantastic. We had a boat tour, and it was so good to swim in the open sea jumping from the boat, climbing on a rocks (where i cut my foot and got an allergy from seaweed ;p) and watching small fishes swiming under you.
In the evening we went to the night club, that was really cool to, because night life is more active in Marmaries than day one. They have one street where you can find only clubs, clubs, clubs, and they all are open to come in, sometimes even without walls. So, it`s like one big party length in one street!!! It was really fun, even thought i didnt drink. It is actually funny to watch what my friends do under alcohol;p and make provocative pictures. Not very nice and comfortable thing for me there was guys, especially turkish. Every second guy stoped near me and was trying to approach me some how. It was sooo annoying, so i was trying to close my eyes and just dance. But dıdn't helped either, because some of them just came closer and were trying to hold my hand or dance to close and rubs near me. Aiesecers were trying to protect me and Shcheglova, showing to other guyes that we are together, but it doesn`t work for everyone. But i understand the reason of such behavior. it is tourist city, and most girls in a clubs are tourists.....russian tourist. Girls who come to take a rest there for one week like to have some "fun", thats why they are to easy to approach and it is even some times their initiative. But exactly this thing makes so bad reputation for all girls from post USSR. And thats disgusting.
Actually russian tourists occupied all this resort. On a streets i heard people speaks only turkish, but even more russian. In every shop and in every restaurant workers of those places started to speak with me on russian, and i really hate it. In one store seller was talking to me in russian, and i was replying him in english, that was fun conversation.
And there in a club was very nice dancer - travesty, his body is really hut! I was jealous.
Also we visited Ephesus - it`s very ancient city, founded by colonists from Athens in the 10th century BC. Beginning in the Roman Republic, Ephesus was the capital of proconsular Asia which covered the western part of Asia Minor. when you are walking through this city you have feeling like you found yourself in the time of Rome Empire. And i was imagine ancient people walking on the same street, in white togas, drinking wine...
Also the Temple of Artemis,one of the Seven Wonders of the World was located there.
Another important place that we visited was the hose of Virgin Mary is have been the last home of Mary, mother of Jesus, and place where she dyed.
Tour was nice, no matter that organization was bad, and we where really pised of coz of this. Now i have only nice memories.
But still, from that weekend i am sleepy so bad!!! I am dreaming about this saturday, and my plan is.....sleep and sleep and sleep and just do nothing. But it`s not in plans of my friends, so as i see now, they are not gonna let me do it:(

Every evening we come back home near twelve. But yesterday we came back at 3. We went to rock bur, coz two alumnies of @in Ankara plays in a band, and they performed that evening. We had a good time, doing something different from our every day parties, and it was cool. But it was sad evening at the same time, because Benoit finished his internship and left Turkey.
It made all of us understand that time is passing without remorse, and we are getting closer to that moment, when you should say bay to this people, who are now your good friends and real badasses;), people with whom i feel myself so comfortable. And why knows, most possible we wont meet again in this life.

I am trying to leave and enjoy every moment. No time to waist......means no whole day sleep in saturday.
