Ankara

Today wasn't necessarily the most fun day in the world, no offense. 

We drove to Ankara, which is the capital of Turkey. 

There are about 7-8 million people living here, there were not many trees here (a grayish kind of city), so Ataturk planted trees to make the city greener and seem livelier. In the roman times, it was an important trade city in 2nd century. 

We went to the Anatolian Civilization Museum (Anadolu Medeniyetleri Muzesi), which was essentially the civilization of the world. 

- It used to be the grand bazaar of Ankara, but in 1921, they found excavations nearby and decided to turn the location into a museum. 

Buuuuut, when we went to the museum, most of it was under construction...

so pardon that this post is particularly boring.
