Bayram

Hangia Sophia mosque
Last three days were national holidays called Bayram in Turkey. That mean that Turkish families get together and eat well. Therefore all the buses have been full. A lot of traffic in the highways and too many buses in the bus stations. Bayram has also a religious meaning. During the Bayram you sacrifice animals to the god and give some part of this meat to poor people. At least in university students take today and on Friday unofficial holidays even Bayram ended. Teachers advised us that no one is coming to the lessons so we do not have to come either
