Stuff I Know: Selcuk
http://alimamo.blogspot.com/2008/06/selcuk.html
Just stuff by me about me and my life, such as it is. Tuesday, June 10, 2008. The town of Selcuk. Selcuk (Selçuk) is a nice town in a rather historic area. It is know for the basilica of St. John the Apostle, the Temple of Artemis, the nearby House of the Virgin Mary, and camel wrestling. But it may be more well know as a stopping point on the way to the ancient city of Ephesus. A statuette of the god Priapus. Another representation of Priapus. A statute of a goddess (Artemis? The ruins of the basilica o...

Stuff I Know: December 2004
http://alimamo.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
Just stuff by me about me and my life, such as it is. Thursday, December 30, 2004. Not as bad as I thought . And definitely not as bad as it could have been. Turns out I have what is classified as a tuberosity avulsion fracture of the fifth metatarsal (It's amazing what you can learn on the Internet.). The doctor at the hospital called it a stress fracture, and in a way it is, but then he is probably just not up on the English terminology. Aim for early full weight bearing. So even tough I am not a docto...

Stuff I Know: Ruins
http://alimamo.blogspot.com/2008/06/ruins.html
Just stuff by me about me and my life, such as it is. Saturday, June 28, 2008. The ancient city of Ephesus (Efes). Is probably one of the best set of ruins you can visit in Turkey. They are a quick three kilometer walk from the city of Selcuk, and, for what you get to see, a pretty good value. The ruins are pretty extensive and built up enough to give you a good impression of what the location may have looked like, yet not so rebuilt as to erase the fact that they are so ancient. Try to visit the structu...

Stuff I Know: March 2005
http://alimamo.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Just stuff by me about me and my life, such as it is. Tuesday, March 29, 2005. Much too long . Yes, once again it has been a while since I have posted. And once again it is mostly do to laziness. The new semester has started, but it shouldn't have kept me away this much. Let's just start by posting a meme. This particular meme has made its way around the blogs already, but as per usual I am a bit slow to jump on the band wagon. Let's call this one . The Meme of Threes. THREE NAMES YOU GO BY:. 3 "Maureen"...

Stuff I Know: On to Konya
http://alimamo.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-to-konya.html
Just stuff by me about me and my life, such as it is. Wednesday, August 06, 2008. A stop on the way to Konya. As I moved on from the sunny coast to the snowy interior of Turkey, I realized I didn't really have much with me in the way of winter clothes. After all, I had just came from India. But I did have enough items to add in layers to keep me from freezing. The mosque from the back. A Sufi mystic and poet. The mausoleum with the green dome, an iconic image of Konya. A sarcophagus in a museum.

Stuff I Know: Izmir
http://alimamo.blogspot.com/2008/05/izmir.html
Just stuff by me about me and my life, such as it is. Saturday, May 31, 2008. I don't know about you, but for me that city name evokes exotic images of the mid-east, cluttered bazaars, or camel laden caravans bring wares to market. Looking down on the city from the castle. The modern city, though, couldn't be further from those images. Though it is a nice place to visit, it didn't seem to attract me as much as other places in Turkey. Part of the agora. Some vaults that were under the castle up on the hill.

http://alimamo.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Just stuff by me about me and my life, such as it is. Thursday, February 24, 2005. If you might have wondered, Andong must be a cool town. I mean, heck, where else can you learn some cool English . Get some cool hair. Is that cool, or what? Now if it was only the 1950's in America. Heeeey! Posted by Alimamo @ 10:56 AM. Wednesday, February 09, 2005. Looks can be deceiving. Look like if I were . an ape, an East-Asian person, old, or a woman. Photo fun courtesy of The Perception Laboratory's Face Transformer.

http://alimamo.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Just stuff by me about me and my life, such as it is. Saturday, October 22, 2005. Now for something a little different . You can see a different shot of this map with some perspective here. Thanks to a Garmin eTrex. Unit, the amazing program Google Earth. Edit: sorry, it is not working at the moment). For the tools to make things work (when they did work). If you just want to see where I live in an interactive manner, rather than dragging out the old atlas, then click the image below. To be young again .
