If it's any of the big 3 teams tickets may be hard to come by. Let me know if that helps!

Just wondering about the football, there's a couple of games on the weekend we'll be there. Just wondering how / where you buy the tickets?! Thanks!

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:17:08 +0000 http://www.foxnomad.com/?p=2795#comment-47971 I'm glad to hear you say that Carrie, I wasn't sure if I was being too particular. I just felt the changes were too much and really didn't capture the gist of the original post. Plus, as you mention, blocks of text were removed. It put me off a bit to writing for company blogs like Hostel Bloggers. I’m glad to hear you say that Carrie, I wasn’t sure if I was being too particular.

Well-done! I just compared it to the one posted on Hostel Bloggers, and I must say, I'm shocked that they would change your original content after asking you to be a guest blogger. I can understand if they make a few changes, but it looks like a significant amount of original text was removed and replaced with something else. How disappointing. Hostel Bloggers has been hounding me to write for them for months now, but I've been putting them off in order to complete my paid freelancing work. After seeing what they did to your article, I can safely scratch them off my list of people to get back to. Personally, I like the version you wrote much better and I'm really glad you posted it as you originally intended it. This is a very informative and well-written post, Anil. Well-done!

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 15:17:46 +0000 http://www.foxnomad.com/?p=2795#comment-46305 Hi Lisa, Nice to meet you as well! So many things to do, where to begin... There is such a variety of places to see in Turkey and it can be overwhelming. Depending on how much you want to be on the go and your budget, I do highly recommend making your way to see the west and eastern parts of the country. Are you looking for Istanbul specific, or general places to see around Turkey? Let me know and I'll do my best to help you and point you to some great resources. As for your other question, I think 4-6 days in Istanbul is a good amount of time depending on how much of Turkey you want to explore. Let me know a bit more about your plans and I'll be able to give you more specific advice. Btw, your trip (and those like it) are really inspirational and are fun to read! Hi Lisa,

My husband, son, and I are travelling for a year and are currently in Italy for the summer. We are planning on Turkey next and are working out the details. How long do you recommend in Istanbul? We were thinking a couple of weeks. We would like to stay in Turkey for ~6 weeks. Do you have some other recommendations for places that are a must see?

One suggestion I have about Istanbul, though I know it's very typical tourist thing to do is go to a Belly dance dinner show. My friend and I did that and had so much fun!

I love Istanbul it’s a vibrant city and you can do all kinds of activity it caters to every one. Thank you for passing by my humble blog. I will take you up on that offer to help when I am fumbling with more and more Turkish phrases. Great post and really does sum up the most important sites to see.
