After we bade our farewells to Antalya, we embraced ourselves for a grueling 9-10-hour long bus ride to the world famous UNESCO Heritage Site — Cappadocia via Konya (for a 45-minute stop). The bus itself was alright – air-conditioned, cushioned seats and all; and they even provided us with snacks and drinks, just like on …
As soon as we touched down Antalya at around 10.30pm (local time), we were pleasantly surprised by the state-of-the-art architecture and the enormous size of the airport.

戏如人生，人生如戏。。。这句话说得一点都没错！ 只可惜普通人的每日生活里就没那么精彩咯。。。唉。。。没事情做时就狂追看连戏剧，一看就无发自拔， 从早看到晚， 就连饭也懒得吃， 眼睛也是没有一刻是离的开电脑荧幕的，旁观者看到都觉得恐怖。 可是，身在其中的我们当然是不知情呀！慢慢地，连戏剧就神不知鬼不觉地，吞噬了我们得人生。就这样，我们把自己投射到戏里头的角色，情绪也跟随着剧情的发展而起伏，就这样， 连戏剧就成了我们的麻醉药。。。
