Last Weekend heroics...

Last weekend I was at the Rock Vacation (Rock Tatili) Festival on Foca İngiliz Peninsula. It was not a very well organised festival, but we managed to have fun quite a fun with the help some big bottles of vodka in addition to some of the best rock bands of Turkey, namely Duman, Kurban, Mor ve Otesi...

Unfortunately one of my friends, Engin, had a bad incident during the festival. He injured himself and got unconscious. Luckily he is back to life and in good condition now. He shared a nice life quotation with us after his recovery. I would like to share it with you...

"I am a wanderer and mountain climber, said to his heart. I love not the plains, and it seems i can not long sit still.
And whatever may still overtake me as fate and experience, a wandering will be therein, and a mountain climbing; in the end one experiences only oneself."

Nietzsche
