Hey

I have not been on this site for a long time, and I truelly miss it... it is like my favourite spot.

Well, I have created a blog, which many Turks asked me to, because somehow I always seem to tell good stories about those amazing people.

The name of my blog is called Bohemian Osmanli, which is a dedication to my love for Turkey, its music, its food and culture.

I write about the latest music I have heard, the movies I have seen and my travels to Turkey.

I just recently came from Istanbul, where I spent most of time in Kadıköy. Most of my enteries are about that wonderful place and how much I miss it.

I have met good people there, ate good food, listened to good music and soaked up the amazing weather.

So, I am inviting you to please visit the blog, the follow it and to add your thoughts and ideas. To share your experiences with me.....and amazing recipes.

Also tell the Turks to join, this is for them.

I chose the name Bohemian Osmanli, because of how I inherited the name "Karakiz", most of the Turkish friends I have love to call me Osmanli sometimes, I don´t know why... maybe because of the love I have.

However, I added Bohemian, due to the arts life I love in Turkey. So, that is why it is called that.

That´s it for now

lol..blogs are forbidden now in turkey..but it sounds good..thnks..

why are blogs forbidden in turkey?? that is strange....first youtube and now blogs... why is it that the government is trying to mute freedom of thought, speech and press.......??

thanks for telling me though, i guess i will have to keep the blog going

As for the ´why´ bit, you may find some info in this thread.

And it´s the court (not the government) that makes the decision according to the current  law.
