It was really late when we arrived at our hotel in Istanbul. I couldn’t believe the city
lights; so many and such different colors. In particular, I couldn’t stop looking at the Bosphorus Bridge. It is more than a thousand meters long! Below it I could see its changing lights reflected on the sea water. The city was much bigger than I could ever imagine. It felt like I could see for kilometers into the distance. Everything looked so flat, not like the mountains where I am from. Even though it was very late, I felt wide awake. I got up and just looked out of the window for hours. The next day my parents wanted to go to museums, drink Turkish coffee in little traditional cafés, visit mosques , and watch a folk -dance show. I was even more excited about the following day. We would go to see a camel dance. I was promised that the camels dance around each other a little and make people laugh. It sounded like a lot of fun to me! When I finally fell asleep, I had a very real dream. I was in a desert, and there was a man sitting in the middle of the desert playing a strange instrument, almost like a small guitar. Then a camel came out of nowhere. It was coming straight towards me, and it looked angry.
