This should be my last long distance bus trip.  After spending so many hours on different buses for the last couple of days, the 10-12 hours trip back to Istanbul doesn't seem that bad any more.

I found it very amazing that we can always find a way to adjust our body to the environment that surrounds us.  Back home, I couldn't sit still in a meeting or class for more than an hour.  Yet, I have came to learn how to adjust myself to a 10-hours bus trip, made myself comfortable, and even sleep soundly.

The bus finally stoped at the main terminal in Istanbul.  It was then 10:30pm.  Is it because of new year?  That wasn't many people around.  Along with five or six locals, I abord a service bus to Aksaray, where I took a taxi back to Sultan Ahamet.
