I have reached denizli
this is the bus terminal
this bus belongs to 'Pamukkale' bus company
it is a renowned company
my 'Isparta' bus started from Canakkale and now going to Antalya
this is bus terminal
denizli is a major town from where you can get a bus to Pamukkale
trains and long route buses do not operate from pamukkale
though its not like Egypt
but even here people smoke a lot
seems like everyone smokes in turkey
i am especially concerned for the younger generation
some people just
throw their smoke on your face
I got down from that bus
it took 15-20 minutes from denizli
4 lira was the fare
i have to go this side
where my couchsurfing host stays
seems this is the house
i look short in front of him
its 11 am
he is the host
they are guests like me
now they are leaving
some more guest over there
they are from Iran
both of them have been traveling
around the world by just doing hitchhiking
they inspire me
i traveled all night
I waited for a ride for 3 hours in canankkale
after that i thought i wont do hitchhiking in Turkey
but after meeting this couple, I am again going to hitchhike
thanks to Gokhan because of whom I am meeting a lot of people
now I am going to introduce you with my Iranian friends
its 1145 am
this is a local family function
Gokhan brought all of us here
people from Iran, Russia, India have also joined now
This function is organised for 'Sunnat', an Islamic ritual
many of you might be knowing about it
ok lets listen to the songs
this is a marriage function
this a feast on the occasion
this is dried egg plant
they stuff them with rice and cook
India, Iran and Turkey share a lot of common words
after meeting this couple, I am even more excited to  travel to Iran

this is soap
In Turkey, Iran and India its called 'Sabun'
this is breakfast plate

Turkish breakfast is very rich
This is Karahayit
public Bus costs 2 Lira from Pamukkale to Karahayit
they store cheese in goats flesh like this
wallnuts 350 inr per kg
Almonds also 350 inr per kilo
This reminds me of Discovery and National Geographic channels
where they show us the lifestyle of nomads in Ladakh
they have stored butter in the intestines of goat
