On arrival in Istanbul it was raining. Took a very noisy bus to I-don't-know-where, where I was received with a good meal and lots of hospitality. Busses already open the door stopping and already depart before closing it. Lots and lots of appartment blocks, up to 14 levels high. It seems to be they are growing right out of the ground. That's probably why the population of Istanbul is the same amount as the population of the Netherlands. The smell of the big city reminds me of Kathmandu (Nepal).
After a short night of rest, we went back to the airport by taxi, (with a taxi driver that charged us much too much) to take a plain to Adana (mid-south; 1 hour flight). Adana is again a big city, about two million people living there. We were picked up by a nice mexican couple who took us to their appartment to relax for a while, had some turkish lunch (Donner-Kebab), not too bad, and a good turkish desert, cheese grilled and soaked in sugar.
In the afternoon we built up our set to do a small gig in a church instead of outside in the park (because of the rain). We did a small rehearsel, to play some songs in the evening for a nice group of turkish youth, which I could hardly understand, because most of them only speak a language I don't understand. But I understood their hospitality. Like now I am staying with a turkish and american guy in one appartment, and found a wireless connection to this page, for as long as it takes.
