Welcome to Day 6 and #8 of my reasons for countdown! Today I'll be talking to you about why I have an interest in Turkey. First of all it's the only country in the world which has a city in two continents. I've never been to Asia so I think going to Istanbul would be a good first experience of that continent.
Turkey is also home to 2 of the 7 wonders of the ancient world; the temple of Artemis at Ephesus and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. As a hopeful classics student, the ancient wonders fascinate me and I would love to visit a country that contains two of them. One of the sites is also a temple for the Greek maiden goddess of the hunt/moon Artemis, who is important to my culture through my religion beliefs of ancient Greco-Roman mythology.
Finally, my close friends have visited Turkey yearly for almost a decade now and they say it is one of their favourite countries to visit along with France and America. This makes me curious to experience the sites, tourism and culture of this country and was probably my earliest influence to wanting to visit it.
Thanks all for reading. Those who were disappointed with yesterday's tiny/terrible post I apologise and hope this made for better reading material. Next post tomorrow and will be about Birthday celebrations of my 15th Birthday, see you then x
