İnsanın, hayatın ve mülkün geçiciliği
Alman edebiyatının en özgün yazarları arasında gösterilen Jenny Erpenbeck, ‘Gölün Sırrı’nda Berlin yakınlarındaki bir gölün ve göl kıyısındaki bir evin 20. yüzyıla yayılan tarihini anlatıyor. ‘Savaşın trajedisinden toplama kamplarının dehşetine, dikta rejimlerinin yol açtığı sürgünlere uzanan’ şiirsel bir roman...

Petra Dağı'nda at binmek
Ürdün’e zorunlu bir seyahat çıktığında pek memnun olmamıştım. Sadece iş için kısa bir ziyaret olacaktı üstelik Arap ülkesini defalarca ziyaret etmiştim. Kumlu, tozlu ve hiç de sıhhi olmayan bir ortamda yayılan et kokuları her defasında beni rahatsız etmişti. Yarı vejetaryen biri olarak çok fazla kırmızı et tüketilen bu ülkelerde nedense kendimi çok iyi hissetmem. Önyargı olabilir belki, ama daha ziyade ah şu deneyimlerim yok mu?

Maryland Eyaleti’nin açık hava müzesi BALTIMORE
Liman kenti Baltimore, Maryland Eyaleti’nin kültür merkezi. 18 ve 19’uncu yüzyıllardan kalma tarihi yapılarıyla bir Avrupa kentini çağrıştırıyor.

The Southeast of Anatolia: a destination worthy of travel
ANKARA - The Southeast of Anatolia, where different faiths, languages and cultures have intermingled with each other over time, waits for tourists to discover. Diyarbakır is surrounded by high city walls of basalt. Visitors come across historical buildings while walking around narrow streets of Mardin. Giant statues on top of Mount Nemrut bring tourists to Adıyaman. Şanlıurfa, where Prophet Abraham was born, is one of the oldest cities in the world.
Tuesday market grows bigger with bigger woes
FETHİYE - Shopkeepers in Fethiye complain about unregulated stall holders at the town’s Tuesday market. As people claim that the market has grown ’beyond what is acceptable and become increasingly unregulated,’ some foreign residents and tourists are up in arms about stall holders’ behavior.
Neverland Ranch now just a shell without ’King of Pop’
CALIFORNIA - Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, which opened to visitors last Thursday, was also the site where authorities alleged Jackson had molested a boy. He was acquitted in 2005 and eventually left there. The two-story house has a number of labyrinth-like hallways and stairways.
Stringing together classical pieces in historical settings
ISTANBUL - Two weeks ago, renowned violinist Ellen Jewett’s budding festival project featured her group, the Audubon String Quartet, playing in a candlelit cave in Cappadocia, followed by concerts in a Greek church in Şirince and a castle in Bodrum. July 20-25 she and another all-star group return to Cappadocia and its special medieval setting
Amusing, cultural places on Golden Horn’s northern shore
ISTANBUL - Historically, the Golden Horn was continually fed by streams from the Belgrade Forest, and its western-most reaches, around the area now called Sütlüce, were favorite places for recreational boating. Ottoman Sultan Ahmed III's 17th-century efforts to create an entertainment center on the north shore of the Golden Horn have echoed into the modern era with the series of cultural venues, museums and amusement parks that line the waterway's banks today
All-inclusive holidays: A blessing or a curse?
FETHİYE - The all-inclusive system, in which hotel guests pay a fixed price for all their expenses, including flights, is damaging tourism in Fethiye, many locals say. These visitors spend all their time in their hotels enjoying free food and drinks, contributing little to the town’s economy.
A long way to go before World Cup
JOHANNESBURG - Classy Brazil fights back to beat the brave United States 3-2 to take its record third Confederations Cup, but the tournament is seen more of a test that shows South Africa’s performance as a host country. The 16-match competition proves that the country is preparing steadily, while it also shows that the country has a lot left to do.
Kaş and Meis meet to mark peace, friendship
KAŞ - People of Turkey’s coastal town of Kaş and the Greek island of Meis, two sister towns, come together once again to mark the friendship and brotherhood between them. The three-day Lycian-Kaş Culture and Art Festival raises hopes for peace and the high spirit of the event will live longer in the memories of the people.
Traveling along the southern side of historical Golden Horn
ISTANBUL - The estuary of two small rivers that come from the Belgrade Forest, the Golden Horn historically provided a great basin before it flowed into the Sea of Marmara. In the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire’s attempts to imitate the West and industrialize led to factories being built along the Golden Horn. Ongoing efforts starting in the 1980s have helped clean the water and today people can enjoy the parks that extend most of the length of the Golden Horn’s southern side.
