Country #17 Turkey
Visited, Ankara, Istanbul and Konya. The only country which give respect to green passport. While traveling Istanbul to Ankara, a police officer came into bus and asked everyone to show your ID or passport and he checked everyone’s ID/Passpor, when he came to me, I bring out my passport from my pocket when saw the word Pakistan on my passport, he said oh you are Pakistani, no need to show your document please have a seat, I was near to cry while having as much respect for my beloved country Pakistan.
I went to many Mosques to perform prays, in every Mosque I heard and saw same heat touching voices, same Dua after prayer, same to Azan in all mosques, I went again and again in Mosques as I never ever feel as much relax as I felt in Turkish Mosques. Also visited Molana Romi’s shrine and I can not express my feelings. Love you Turkey, see you again very soon.
See you tomorrow with an other country…

@GNaz Thanks for your concern. I been there in turkey for about one week. I spend most of my time in Istanbul, where there I fall in love with historical things. Blue mosque, grand Bazar, phosphorus bridge and so many other places. Then I went to Konya. On the way to Konya I stayed couple of hours in Ankara, due to short of time and lack of knowledge about Ankara I didn’t like Ankara compare to Istanbul and konya. In konya I stayed couple of days and I took a room very near to to Hazrat Molana shrine so I could see the shrine from window of my room. You know Istanbul and konya refresh my faith and I love to visit these two cities again and again.
Thank you for the detailed information @Ilyas92 . I also like Bosphorus and I visit it everytime when I go to Istanbul. I also want to share a photo from there:
@GNaz it’s beautiful picture. Here I have mine as well of bosphorus bridge photo. I offer you to visit my country as well, which is Pakistan. If you see my profile I posted picture of Pakistan in country number one. Have a look. I hope to welcome you in Pakistan.
Thank you @Ilyas92 !

@GNaz for details about my country, local guides can visit my profile, and in this series of 22 countries in 22 days, you can have a look on country number one so you can get details about Pakistan. Can you teach me one thing, suppose I’m posting new article, I mean new post so how can I give link of my previous post in current post?
@Ilyas92 , when you want to add a link to your post, you can write something, for example a name of a city (Pakistan) or when you mentioning your previous post and highlight the chosen part of the text and press this icon as shown in the picture and add the link to that particular text.
Thank you for your kind response @GNaz But I could get that. Suppose I wanted to tell you about my previous post, so that post was about Pakistan so how I can here highlight Pakistan? And you said one more option which just on the top to click and then need to enter URL and title of post so my question is, from where I can copy URL of my previous post?
@Ilyas92 You can open in a new tab the post which you want to mention and copy the URL of the post. Afterwards, you can write a text, for example, the name of your post, mark it and add the link to that text you previously wrote.
@GNaz Thank you for your kind response. Stay blessed
