Houston-Texas

I have been living in Houston since 2011. There are so many things to say about it. Let me start with pros and cons.

Pros :

  • 4th biggest city of USA
  • Energy and medical capital of the world
  • Turkish Airlines non-stop flights to Istanbul
  • Turkish Consulate
  • Well-organized Turkish community
  • Turkish restaurants and groceries
  • Cheaper than USA average

Cons :

  • So hot and humid
  • Traffic (still far more better than Istanbul)

Konya

Konya is one of the most important cities of Turkey. It is the seventh most populous city in Turkey. As of 2011, the Konya Metropolitan Municipality had a population close to 1.1 million. It is also known as the city of whirling dervishes and for its outstanding Seljuk architecture.

Konya was historically the capital of the Anatolian Seljuk Sultanate and the Karamanids. The poet and Sufi thinker Rumi also settled in the city during this period. The Neolithic settlement of Çatalhöyük in Konya Province was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012. You can use the links below to find more information about Konya.
