Travelogue to Turkey- Part IX- Whirling Dervish Show

Imej
D6- 26th March, 2015 We reached the place for whirling dervish show roughly about 6pm. Once reached there we were greeted by a person at the entrance who gave us a pamphlet on whirling dervish ceremony.  We were among the first group reached the hall. The hall had a stage for the dervishes to perform in the centre and the benches were arranged in semi-circular arrangement. Above there were names of the prophet Muhammad s.a.w along with all 4 rightly guided caliphs as well as the names of Saydina Hassan and Hussein names hung from the ceiling. At first I only saw the name of Saydina Hussein (Hehee... thought of whether there's Syiah influence), but after I looked around, I realised they put all the names. On the stage, at the far end, there was a hat or tarbush with surrounding light. According to Finar, that was supposed indicating or symbolised  Mevlana Jalaluddin Ar- Rumi. I didn't know whether it's true or not, because when I read the pamphlet later it didn't mention...

D6- 26th March, 2015 I rushed to my room after breakfast, took a quick shower and prepared to go down for another  tour today. Before 9 a.m, I'd already down in the lobby but found nobody there...So I went outside looking for our bus. Few buses there looked almost similar in colour made me confused which one was my bus. In my mind I was thinking...No...It couldn't be they'd left me alone here. After few rounds looking for our bus...I turned back to hotel lobby and saw the rest were just on the way out. Hehee... I was earlier then them and I saw our bus just arrived at the lobby parking.  There were few interesting places we were going to visit today, namely the underground cities, pottery factory and  Gerome open air museum which had old cave churches.  Our first destination was the underground city... We reached there quite early. We had to walk quite a bit from our bus to reach the interest area. On the way, as usual there were professional photograp...

Terima kasih PM Kerana tuan kami kini sudah berakal Kalau dulu kami mungkin berfikiran dangkal Kini kami dah makin pandai Maklumlah hari-hari di asak dengan berita di TV nasional Hingga makcik dan pakcik di kampung pun dah makin pintar Kalau tidak percaya tuan bisa saja beri soalan menduga akal Jika di beri kertas untuk di uji Bisa saja kami lulus kelas terpuji Bukan setakat CGPA 3.85 lagi Lebih dari itu pun kami bisa beri Kerana akal kami lebih sedikit dari akal menteri Kami sayang PM Banyak sungguh yang telah tuan beri Hingga kami rasa malu sendiri Duit BRIM tahun lepas pun belum habis kami makan lagi Kini masa kami pula membalas budi Minta apa saja kan kami beri Mahu di minta bantu bayar hutang 1MDB Jangan risau nah cukai pendapatan tahunan kami beri  Tak cukup kami tambah dengan cukai GST Buat lah pelaburan dengan tabungan TH kami Lambat lagi pun kami boleh naik haji Kalau tuan mahu ambil dulu lah tabungan pencen dan KWSP Naik kan saja harga minyak lagi Kami tak kisah berjalan ...

Travelogue to Turkey- Part VII- Hot air balloon, Cappadocia

D6- 26th March, 2015 I woke up early this morning. Prepared myself for Subuh prayer and dressed appropriately with few layers of clothes to cover my skinny body so that it won't get too cold out there. Yup...of course not to forget, pray for my safety. If anything happened, Ida said she booked my jacket... Hahaha...😂. It all came to my mind when I thought about the warning that Ida told me earlier back in Malaysia, where there were 2 people died due to two hot balloon collided here in Cappadocia in December, 2014. Yaa... Quite recent incident right. So I prayed to Allah to make my journey safe and definitely in His hand my soul belong. I went down to hotel lobby excitedly. Ready for another adventure I was about to experience...once in a life time experience. A lot of people from different nationalities already waited in the lobby. I spotted my group in the middle of the rest. Only 5 of us will go for the hot balloon ride today. We waited for the rest to come down and for Hjh Shal...
