Countdown



Christmas icin geri sayim baslamisken agaclar hazirlanmis, bir yandan her yilin bu zamani hortlayan Michael Buble geri donmus "All I want for Xmas is you" derken biryandan da istemem yan cebime koy hediye listeleri siralanmistir. Benim listem uzun sevgilimi isterim ama kim birbirinden guzel hediyelere hayir diyebilir ki ? Hadi millet listeler dokulsun ! 

While countdown is started for the Christmas everybody already decorated their trees, as usual every time of this year while creepy Michael Buble is singing"All I want for Christmas is you" nobody really believes him, prepare their long list and shop like a crazy. Me ? Besides my lovely boyfriend and family members, I care about those presents underneath the christmas tree!!! Let's open the list ! What do you expect from Santa this year ?

Huge Museums or Small ones ?


Devasa muzeleri gezmeye doyamasam da butik olanlar her zaman bambaska bir keyif vermistir bana. Kucuk, samimi, dinlendirici... Buyuk haritalara gerek kalmadan sanki heybetli bir evin odalarini dolasiormussunuz hissi veren muzeler cok gezilesi. Diger yandan o kocaman muzelerdeki aradigini eninde sonunda bulmanin verdigi haz, kayboldugunda ise bambaska bir odaya acilan yeni bir kapinin heyecani ve her gidisinde yeni seylerin kesfi paha bicilemez. Henuz Turkiye de bir MET olmasa da gorulmeye deger bir cok muzenin olduguna eminim. Sabanci Muzesi de o harika butik muzelerden bir tanesi. Her seferinde farkli bir heyecanla gider bahcesinde hayranlikla gezinirim. Bu kez de oyle oldu. Peki ya siz en cok hangisini tercih edersiniz ? 

Even though I enjoy a lot huge museums , the boutique ones give more pleasure to me. Small, sincere and relaxing... It's really enjoyable to feel as if you're wandering the rooms of an awesome house with no need to big maps. On the other hand, in those huge museums, the joy of finding at last what you're looking for, even when you lost excitement of finding yourself in front of another door opens to a different room and discovering new things in each time is worthless. Despite we haven't had MET in Turkey, I believe there are many worth to visit. Sabanci Museum is just one of those lovely boutique museums. Each time I wander in its garden with indescribable pleasure and as usual it was the same on that day. Well, which one would you like huge or boutique museums ?

Hôtel du Nord


St Martin kanali,  Seine nehrinden sonra Paris'te harika vakit gecirebileceginiz  en samimi yerlerden bir tanesidir. Kanal boyunca yayilan butikleri, barlari, restorantlari ve kafeleri  gezerek, bizim gibi  doyumsuz bir hafta sonu gecirebilirsiniz burada. Buna ek olarak birde kanalda "stand up paddle for peace" gibi bir etkinlik varsa o hafta sonunun tadina doyulmaz. 

Canal St Martin, after Seine River is one of the cosy places you can spend wonderful time. By visiting boutiques, cafes and restaurants spread out through the bank of canal, like us you can spend a nice weekend here. Ps: If you see people doing stand up paddle for peace on the canal, I'm sure your joy will be doubled. 



BANG!  eger yolunuz duserse aksam yemeginizi yemenizi tavsiye edecegim enfes et restorani.
BANG!  if you are around the canal, I highly recommend to stop for dinner to taste every different kind excellent meat species. 

Postu bitirmeden once burasi icin semboliklesmis bir binadan bahsetmek istedim. Simdilerde restorant olan Hotel du Nord, 1938 yapimli icinde komedi, ask ve entrikayi bir otelde toplayan filmin de adi ayni zamanda. Iste filmin benim icin en guzel kismi, hem de eski St Martin kanali nasilmis gormek istersiniz diye dusundum. 

Before I leave, I'd like to talk about one of the symbolic building of this area Hôtel du Nord...  Nowadays it's a restaurant and has a movie with same name which contains comedy and labyrinth love story. Here is the most well known and my favorite part, also it's good to see how's around in 30s .



Raymonde : Atmosphère atmosphère !  Do I look like a atmosphère to you ?

Paris Diary




Paris'te daha fazla yasadikca gordum ki bu sehirde yapmaktan hoslandigim ne kadar cok sey varmis. Simdilik sadece bir kacini paylasacagim fakat ilerleyen gunlerde, aylarda ve yillarda blogumun Paris sehir rehberine donusmesinden korkmuyor degilim :) 

As I've lived in Paris, I realized that there are many things I love to do in this city. For now, I'll just share couple of them. But I'm afraid if my blog turn out to be a Paris city guide in the following days, months and years :)


Sometimes I love being a tourist in this city 

I love looking at Paris from top of the cafés, historical buildings but Eiffel (this one is from the top of Galeries Lafayette ) 

I like to "goûter" time with my friends 

But you don't have to stop by café to have dessert. You can grab one of those hyper delicious cakes of Grande Epicerie. 

Le Marais is where I love to lose myself while looking at windows of different kind of boutiques. 


To catch sunset, end the day and to have a picnic with our friends for me the best place somewhere at the bank of Seine River.
