When I arrived Izmir, I sent e-mail to all WSL members in Turkey. About half of them wrote me back e-mail immidiately. Almost all of them wrote me "welcome to Turkey" and some of them wrote "You are very welcome to my house!" I was so happy to received their warm e-mails. I met one WSL member Mr. Mustafa KARAKUS at Izmir. He invited me lunch and I met member of his cycling club. When I arrived Istanbul, Mr. Ulas APAK came to pick me up immediately and he host me to stay his house. I am staying his house in this moment. He always took care about me and took me bike tour at many places outside and inside of Istanbul and also introduced to his friends. I am very happy to stay his place and received his hospitality. Thanks Mr. Ulas and Turkish hospitality! Daisuke(Japanese cyclist) 116,424 km http://www.daisukebike.be/
