Yasmine's+3+week+blog+to+Turkey

Hello and Welcome to Yasmine's 3 week Blog to Turkey! I hope to write every 2 days and to give you as much insite as possible Hope u enjoy it! __Day 1: On the way to Soeol - Korea__ Waking up at 4:30 in the morning is absolutely unpleasent. Staying on a plane for 11 hours and 30min is really boring & Not being able to sleep on the plane is very uncomfortable. Not such a good start to your day.

Anyway, After waking up at 4:30am, getting ready and all of that kind of stuff, we finally left to go to Auckland Airport. Our flight was at 8:40am on "Korean Airlines". We would be flying to Soeol - Korea and would be staying there for 1 night at Hayat (life) Hotel, Finally Leaving to Istanbul - Turkey the following day On "Korean airlines" again.

After 11 hours and 30min of pure torcher, we got off the plane and left to go to our hotel. It was very fancy. When we got settled, we went out for dinner because by the time we got off the airplane it was 6:30 in Korean time. My family and I ate at a buffet, I ate Pasta with red tomato sauce and these pink dumpling things, they tasted like powder. After a filling dinner, We went and did a little sit seeing around the hotel. We saw beautiful fountains and green grass patches. When we got back into our rooms it was 10:30pm and we were all very tired. I had a shower and went to sleep.



__Day 2 & 3: ﻿Leaving Soeol and Finally flying to Turkey__

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">After having a wonderful sleep in Hayat (life) hotel, We went down into the baffet and ate breakfast. I had scrambled eggs with roasted potatoes and some waffles with raseberry syrup. After the delicious meal, we left to go onto a tour to see a Traditional korean village. It was really fascinating, There was a massave bell and a 4300 year old tree. There was also pure water that people in the village drank from that was coming down from the mountains, it felt really refreshing. When we left the village, I saw the 21km bridge that links Incheon island to Incheon City. It was really foggy so I couldn't really see much of the bridge. Did you know that when its winter in korea it snows and that its -30 to -40 degrees outside. Korea has a chance of hosting the 2018 winter olympics. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">It was finally time to get on the next flight to Turkey, another 10hours and 30min. This flight was a bit better then the first. When we departured from the plane, I could already feel the tempreture falling over me. It was 29 degress outside. I could hardly breath. When we got through the baggage claims, we drove off to our apartment. It took for ever because in Turkey, all the drivers are reckless. By the time we got home, it was 10:30pm and we were all really tired. So we unpacked and went to sleep.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">When we woke up the next morning, We saw the lovely view of the ocean we could see from our apartment. It was spectacular. We had to wake up extra early because we had to go to the airport to pick my mums sisters up. It was my brother and I's first time seeing my aunties. When we all hugged and greeted and all that kind of stuff, we left the airport and my aunties and there husbands went to go settle in there hotels. After that, we went into the city and walked around, looking at the fancy shops and restraunts. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">By then it was 7:30pm and we were all hungry, so we ate dinner at this chicken restraunt. We took the train back hom﻿e and went to sleep. Pretty basic day. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">﻿__Day 4 & 5: Shopping, site seeing and going to th__﻿__e beach__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">Today was fun and exciting because in the morning, we went to the mall and we saw a really small Pekingese, it was so cute!!. After that, we went to this icy place called the magic ice. It was -3 degress!. I loved it. When we entered the room, we saw all of these awesome ice sculptures of animals and people.
