HAYDARPASA TRAİN STATİON



I got this image from internet. İt can show Haydarpasa better than  mine...
















       

 "08:30 pm, the night of on 7 July 2010.

  I boarded the public bus to go to Haydarpasa train station well before the scheduled departure time of the Trans Asia train. I wanted to go there earlier so I could observe the train passengers, as they arrived and at the same time I would be seeing the lights of the silhouette of Blue Mosque across the Bosphorus in the darkness of the sea. I noticed the Blue Mosque with its lights , what beautiful images…
   
            if you come from the east of Turkey , Haydarpasa is the most endpoint in railway.you can see a magnicifient metropol city here from its  accross . Once upon in Turkey, majority of people of east would have encountered with the sea the first time here. After getting down from train, they used to stand on stairs of Haydarpasa while looking at other side of bosphorus admiratingly. This scene is an unforgettable one of Turkish movies untill 1980's. After roads developed, its importance was down as a train station.. it has an historical importance today...

              Perhaps while I was leaving from this point to the east, I had wanted to feel its strength behind me.  This journey would  have been my first solo travel abroad.
 There was still some time before the departure of Trans Asia train. For the journey, I got a suıtcase trolley and a small bag. The Trans Asia train was waiting on the platform  without its lights turned on.  A few employees were opening and covering some air valves of the locomotive the sounds of which had scattered into the silent building holes... " hhhoouuşşş"
  

               A few İranian passengers  who came in there earlier,  were sitting on the stairs of Haydarpasa.  Even if  I could not understand their language, I had imagined that they too mıght be mentioning Istanbul's greatness…


              İt was very warm throughout the day …later  when it was night; the cool wind licked the skin of my bare arms.  I trembled slightly…

Why Pragh?  You can find a reason for your choice to travel to somewhere, which was not necessary  either. Mostly names do not have any meaning. I don't know whether the name of Pragh city has a meaning or not. I know as historical it is a center of Bohemia. I  had a question in my mind was there any relation between  bohem behaviours and geografical term Bohemia and local people of Bohemia  by the time I decided to go to Pragh.  Yes, even if it is small connection... Bohem term come from French to us that was used  for unordinary life style of artists early 19th century. It  mistaken was used for gypsies  due to similarity between their social life and artists life style in the  recidents of France. As for the connection of terms.. Gypsies  came from via Bohemia in the 15th century to  France.  The picture of Renoir " The Bohemian". ..  Sometime an image may be the most explainer tool for terms... Pierre Auguste Renoir lived in 1841- 1910. He was one of  main artist of i

           Once more , I had discovered the cheapest way to reach out the mid of Europe for a while.. at least, if I don't count the transfer cost to Krakow from Bratislava. The  round trip flight cost to the Bratislava airport from the  Dalaman airport was just 48 euro. Everything is good until here.             The plane of Ryanair launded at the Bratislava Letisko Airport toward midnight in 20th of October 2023. No bus in this hours to Krakow. I had to spent the night on the chairs of Letisko Bratislava.    I had booked the bus ticket to Krakow in the Flixbus firm.I had time until afternoon on saturday in Bratislava. I left Letisko Airport very early by public bus 60 numero to go to the city center of Bratislava. Already the intercity bus terminal is in the Nivy center where is in the city center of Bratislava.  The Nivy Tower is one of shopping centers in Bratislava . The intercity buses terminals is placed under floor of shopping. Quite modern, clean, usefull..also you can use
