it’s really great that you bring your entire family along with you during trips like these that explore other people’s religion/customs, especially to The Teen. I know a few families who are similarly well-off but their children are always stuck at home while they travel the world. End result: the kids didn’t even know that Muslims don’t eat pork, or that Belgium is in Europe. They have all the gadgets and the expensive designer clothes…but when it comes to enriching experiences, they fall flat. Isn’t that sad?

Absolutely beautiful! I can’t even imagine how much more beautiful it would be in candlelight.

Those oil lamps not only provide illumination, our Tourist guide Mehmet explained it was also used as an air freshener..as you can imagine..with all those men crowding next to you during prayers..sweat,perspiration and body heat can produce..well smelly resuts. Yes, those beautiful ceilings were breathtaking.

Hello Marketman, I know this is totally random but can you tell me where I can find rice flour? Is it available in local groceries/supermarkets? Or do I have to make my own (if it is possible)? Many thanks!

Jaw dropping indeed! Wonder how it compares to the Hagia Sophia (which used to be a Christian church before it was turned Islamic)
