Snowboard in Kars...
I was in Kars - Sarikamis for some more experience with snow and a snowboard. This time everything was much better. No injuries, fractures, sore legs or arms... It was really great... Had plenty of great wines at night and tasted goose for the first time (and after that for the second time :) (Tastes great by the way...)
Anyway, Sarikamis is the town that has one of the oldest ski centers of Turkey, we stayed there and I can tell you that the environment reminded me of Fargo, a film by Coen Brothers. Everywhere was white... Just white and nothing else... Click on the image left to see the whole map, flight route and some more...
This is the first time I travel this far to eastern Turkey...On the map you can see Istanbul (where i live) and Kars where I went to... More than 1400km's(Planes don't go directly so you have to change planes in Ankara) Also the left of the orange line on tje map indicates the part that i have been so far and the right is tje part i have never ever been to.
Kars has lost of ancient buildings... (And honestly we couldn't see anything as everything was under some heavy snow. The ancient (Armenian) city is called "Ani". You can find lots of information about Ani here.... (Both in English & Turkish) There is a great map of the city here! And here is some links about Sarikamis/Kars: Some info about the ski center (tr), some more info from turkski.com, and some hotel phones... ;)... (Son olarak da Radikal'de eskideeen çıkmış bir yazı ve son bir link daha...)
Some photos will be online here shortly ;)

Haven't commented on any entry you wrote but I AM actually reading your blog. I like to read blogs from different parts of the world. It somehow gives one a broader view on things.
Nice to hear you enjoyed the snowboarding experience.

I think there is a problem with comments counter. Tho there was Morgaine's comment it seems on the homepage "0" comments. I am writing this comment just to try the comments system...

I think the problem is fixed...

Nice to see the commenting system fixed. I mean, mine was apparently posted but I didn't see it. I thought about trying a second time but probably there would have been a double posting in that case.
I like to read blogs from all over the world. I sought blogs from Turkey but there weren't that many and most of them were written in the Turkish language that I don't understand. So I'm happy to see yours is mostly in English.
Then a small remark: when I look at your page, there is a scripting error message: line 43, char 5, 'blogamp_num_songs' is undefined. Maybe you can look into this?

I know :( Thats because of a script i once tried to run ... It was about winamp, it had to show the songs last listened but didnt work out and since i didnt have time to fix it... But i will start working on it ;) Thanks...
