I got invited by my friend Tugce Sahin to go and see her perform in a play that she helped produce at Akdeniz University. 

It was very professional and I really enjoyed it.  It is on at 8pm for the next 10 days so if you would like to go drop me a line and I will confirm the details for you.  In the meantime here are some highlights from the play.

As I said a couple of days ago I went to the Hot Wheel Brothers Stunt Show at Akdeniz University in Antalya on Thursday night. 

It was a really good show and one which all the family would enjoy.  My wife never came along because she thought it would only be boys and their big car toys but there was also local acrobats which really helped the overall feel of the show as they broke up all the big car and motorbike stunts and were good in their own right.

My boy has just been learning to skip so he was particularly impressed by the skippers who jump with their hands but of course he loved the car stunts the best especially the Hot Monster Trucks. 

The Hot Wheel Brothers show will be beside the Lunapark in Konyaalti every Thursday to Friday until the end of October so I will go back to see the show to take a copy of my video footage to Mike and Zoey, who I interview in the video below.  Next time I will try to get my son and I a ride in one of the Monster Trucks. 

  If you decide to go along, I may see you there. Cheers.

Close to Yivli Minuret in Antalya there was an Exhibition of War Photographs. Obviously it is better if you were there and had the time to take in the stories and absorb the photos but here is a quick glimpse into what it was like.

I was walking through Kaleiçi and spotted this Porcelain Shop. I thought their stuff was really beautiful and so made a video so that you can see the quality of the products they sell and hopefully encourage you to pop along and buy some for yourself.

One of the expats, Don, organised a Go Karting meeting at a course in Antalya which is apparently the second biggest go karting track in Turkey.

It was a really great day and although the rain was threatening it held out for us to make the most of it with most people getting in at least 3 races. The car I got in for the first race (No 4) was a bit dodgy and you can see me sliding all over the place in the video. Of course, no-one believed me to start with but after one or two others had the same experience my complaints were justified. Overall though Don was the deserved winner.

I thought I had captured more of the other races on my camcorder but for some reason it didn’t record so I only have highlights of the first race.

Next time I will get the ladies on camera as well although I may have to put the footage in slow motion because they were really tearing up the track, Ceyda especially.
