It's all very exciting. I've found some of my World Updates!
When I left New Zealand back in 1996 I started emailing family and friends every now and then to update them on what was happening on my side of the world. These updates were known as "World Updates".
I thought I had long lost them but when I came to NZ recently and had a chance to look into an old PC I found a few of the very first ones.
They are now loaded onto this blog starting at No 1 :)
Just saw some whirling dervishes. It was pretty spectacular :)
It wasn't in the cultural centre mentioned in the link but in Sirkeci Station ("Sir-keji") which made it a bit different. Whilst quite expensive for the one hour session I reckon it was worth it. Both the Sufi music and the dancing were great in their own right.
The actually whirling itself is beyond comprehension physically. It must take a while to master.
