The wonderful delicious food in one of the restaurants in Istanbul. This restaurant is located at Taksim along the famous Istiklal Street. The food was amazing and it was full with tourist and locals filling their empty stomach after half a day busy doing their chores. I even bumped into a Malaysian family in this restaurant.
The Yufka was the best here compared to other places. U could see the kebab meat which was used to make a Yufka on the most left hand side of that picture. YES its humongous! Yufka is a type of kebab using thin flat bread like chapati or tortilla instead of the usual pita bread but with the typical kebab filling. The veges and meat are spread on the bread and it is rolled tightly and looks similar like wraps. It is also called Dürüm or Rollo.

At the farmer's market. This was only the second time I've gotten up the courage to ask a stranger if I can take their picture. And the dude wasn't even in the picture. But it was his stand, so... you know. I asked. Had to! The umbrella was so colorful!

BNSF 2351 and 2268, both straight-GP38s and both wearing "Heritage I" paint, sit at Western Avenue Yard in Chicago. These units are fairly typical of the yard and local power assigned here.
This recent version of the L-SPR680 "South Local" has a pair of EMD goodies. BNSF 7950 is a rebuilt SD45-2 now designated as an SD40-2R. I believe this is the class unit of an undetermined rebuilding program. I think she looks pretty good in Heritage paint!
This location is known as "WS" and is a controlled point but without switches. In Frisco days, the passenger main veered to the left while the freight main exists as shown. The freight main was built as a bypass to reach the "new" Kansas Ave Springfield Yard. All that remains is the freight main turning north to the junction at Teed. This location is covered up by a US 65 overpass and difficult to shoot.

An outpost of Ephesus in ancient Ionia known as Pygela (Πύγελα), the area between the Büyük Menderes (Maeander) and Gediz (Hermos) rivers, the original Neopolis is thought to have been founded on the nearby point of Yılancı Burnu. Later settlements were probably built on the hillside of Pilavtepe, in the district called Andızkulesi today. Kuşadası was a minor port frequented by vessels trading along the Aegean coast. In antiquity it was overshadowed by Ephesus, until Ephesus' harbor silted up. From the 7th century BC onwards the coast was ruled by Lydians from their capital at Sardis, then from 546 BC the Persians, and from 334 BC along with all of Anatolia the coast was conquered by Alexander the Great. From then onwards the coastal cities in Anatolia were a centre of Hellenistic culture. The Roman Empire took possession of the coast in the 2nd century BC and made it their provincial capital[5] and in the early years of Christianity. St John the Evangelist and (according to Roman Catholic sacred tradition) Mary (mother of Jesus) both came to live in the area, which in the Christian era became known as "Ania". Later the port was a haven for pirates. As Byzantine, Venetian and Genoese shippers began to trade along the coast the port was re-founded (as Scala Nuova or Scala Nova - "new port"), a garrison was placed on the island, and the town centre moved from the hillside to the coast. From 1086 the area came under Turkish control and the Aegean ports became the final destination of caravan routes to the Orient. However this arrangement was overthrown by the Crusades and the coast again came under Byzantine control until 1280 when first the Menteşe and then the Aydinid Anatolian beyliks took control. Kuşadası was brought into the Ottoman Empire by Mehmet I in 1413. The Ottomans built the city walls and the caravanserai that still stand today. In 1834 the castle and garrison on the island was rebuilt and expanded, becoming the focus of the town, to the extent that people began to refer to the whole town as Kuşadası (bird island). However in the 19th century, trade declined in favor of İzmir with the opening of the İzmir-Selçuk-Aydın railway, which skipped Kuşadası. During the Turkish War of Independence Kuşadası was occupied from 1919-1922 first by Italian (till 1921), then by Greek troops. The Turkish troops won control of the city on September 7, 1922. Under the Turkish Republic the Greek population was exchanged for Turkish people as part of the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1922. It was a district in İzmir Province until 1954 and become the district of Aydın Province. Until the 1970s, Kuşadası was a fruit-growing rural district.[citation needed] The first timeshare apartments were built in the 1970s. Kusadasi then grew into a small resort town, as timeshares were sold to families in Ankara, İzmir, Denizli and other Turkish cities. Tourism continued to flourish.

Several photos from a small local music event. 3 different bands but I only stopped by for a few minutes of two of them. Took a ton of photos but only saving a few. Just saving to albums, no need to comment.
***************************
Six years ago, I was in Tuvalu, one of the smallest and least-visited countries in the world. Somehow, I never finished uploading my photoset to Flickr until now.
.
Tuvalu was definitely a unique experience. .
The prime minister and his wife were on the same flight as me from Fiji. And they were sitting several rows BEHIND me.
.
I ran into and had a conversation with the form Tuvaluan ambassador to the United Nations. He chopped open a coconut for me with his machete as he invited me into his house.
.
I had a long conversation with a convicted murderer who was only released from prison because 9/11 happened and the US was busy deporting criminals. He was currently working security at my guesthouse.
.
I almost drowned when I got caught in a current while snorkeling. An old man rescued me after he heard me yelling for help.
.
I was one of only two tourists on the island at the time. More than once, I met a local when they said something like “Oh, you must be the other tourist.”
.
I had a great discussion about books and education with two women at the library. One of them made me a seashell necklace and gave it to me as I was boarding my plane back to Fiji. I was nearly in tears as the plane took off and I saw her waving to the plane. I wish I remembered her name and had a way to contact her.
.
Speaking of people who made my experience in Tuvalu special, there was a guy named Eti. He was basically an “arranger” for me and the other tourist. He helped us find a guy and a boat (the guy who saved my life) to take us to a couple of the other islands in the atoll, found some guys to go with us to the local disco, and drank happy hour beers with us almost nightly.
.
It was definitely a FUN experience,... or at least that was the airport code (Funafuti: FUN).

In 1866 John Stuart Mill presented the first petition seeking female suffrage to the House of Commons. Anna Haslam (1829-1922) was among the Irish women who signed it. Anna and her husband Thomas established the Dublin Women's Suffrage Association in 1876. This was the first suffrage society in Ireland. In 1901 it changed its name to the Irish Women's Suffrage and Local Government Association (IWSLGA). This was a non-sectarian and non-militant organisation. The IWSLGA hoped to sway popular opinion on women's rights through meetings and petitions. Its initial aim was to secure the appointment of women as Poor Law Guardians and the Local Government vote for women. These were achieved in 1896 and 1898.In 1911 Cecilia Harrison became the first woman elected to Dublin Corporation.
