We have been busy editing our video “Love’s got a mind of it’s own” and just started shooting “Alpha Male”. Got some pretty “macho” guys here in Istanbul and some funny stuff too. It’s been alot of fun filming and I must admit we are a little tired. Tony’s looking forward to taking a break from the videos since of course he’s been doing most of the work, especially on the editing side of things. Takes so much work!! But worth it of course.
We will spend our last day in Istanbul tomorrow, and then off to Santorini Greece again. From this point on we will not be at any new places so I probably wont be posting any new pics. We are hoping though to shoot while we are in Santorini since we got a little lazy last time and didnt shoot anything…even though we had it in our plans. I still want to get a shot being on the donkeys, but I hear that they really smell…so I probably will wait till the end of the day before I go back to the ship and take a donkey ride so I can then come back and shower. We’ll see how it goes.
Well, only a week left and we will be back home. We have had a great time but I am ready to come home. It may be hard to believe but ship life does get tiresome. There are alot of rules that get on your nerves after a while, like not being able to take certain elevators, not being able to dine in certain restaurants during the night and a whole slew of other rules. But it is a corporate scene so that’s how it goes. But either way, it has been a good journey and I have met some wonderful people. It sure does make you appreciate your own country though. For instance I found out today from one of the “Alpha Male’ guys here in Turkey that they cant even come to visit Canada. It takes a special visa to travel here and it cost them alot of money. Also while we were in Ukraine, you could really feel that they are not even remotely as advanced as we are. We really take our freedoms for granted and now I can understand why many foreigners move to Canada, just so they can have the freedom to make their own choices without the goverment looking over their shoulder all the time.
Anyways, I will be glad to sleep in my own bed soon and also pick some cherries from the back yard. We dont get too much fruit here on the ship just apples, oranges and melons, so berries will be a real treat. Let’s hope the birds havent eaten them all.
Well thanks everyone who joined me along my journey. I will be home next Saturday if anyone wants to call and say hi.

Hello.
I have a question. you had asked me before about 2 months in Istanbul, to play along with your clip AlphaMales. I was with my cousin on smoking shisha (nargile). I have received from you their business card and since then I look regularly if the video comes into the internet. I wanted to ask about when it will appear on your page. I wish you good luck
Sincerely Burak Yilmaz
