Enjoying Japan!

3 ayligina Turkiye'deyim ^^ Batum da, Trabzon'dan cok yakin olunca, 2 gunlugune arkadaslarla gidip geldik. Trabzon'dan ulusoy dolmuslariyla gittik ( tek yon kisi basi 25 TL) yaklasik olarak 3.5 saat surdu. Dolmus bizi Sarp sinir kapisinda birakti ve Batum'a gectikten sonra dolmuslarla sehir merkezine indik^^ Sehir merkezinde paramizi Lari'ya cevirmek istedigimiz icin dolmusta Turk Lira'si odedik. Neredeyse her yerde Turk Lirasi ile odeme yapabiliyorsunuz. ve cogu kisi Turkce biliyor. Turkce iyi konusamasalar bile, cogu sizi anliyor. O yuzden restoranlarda, takside, markette, dolmusta her yerde Turkce konustuk :D

I will stay in Turkey for 3 months. Me and my friends visited Batumi during the holiday. Because, it takes only 3.5 hours to go to Batumi from Trabzon. You can take Ulusoy mini buses until Sarp Georgia border (25 TL one way) After crossing the border, we took the mini bus to the city centre. As we did not exchange our Turkish Lira to Georgian Lari, we used Turkish Lira to pay in the mini bus. Many places accept Turkish Lira. Also Turkish language is being spoken commonly ^^ Even if they cannot speak fluently, they do understand you ^^ So we used Turkish in the restaurants, buses, taxis, markets:D so great ^^

これから三ヶ月間トルコにいます＾＾休みだったので、トラブゾンというトルコの街からバトゥミに遊びに行ってきた＾＾トラブゾンからバトゥミまでUlusoyのミニバスで3時間半かかった（片道25TL=大体1100円かな〜) Sarp Border Gateまでバスで行けた。そこから歩いてバトゥミに入れた＾＾そのあとは、また別のミニバスに乗って、街の中心まで行った〜
お金はまだ両替してなかったのでバスでトルコリラで払えた＾＾実は、バトゥミでトルコリラどこでも使える。でもラリに両替した方が安いらしいからあとでラリに両替した。
あとは、びっくりしたのは、バトゥミのほとんどの皆んなはトルコ語分かる。よーく話せなくてもトルコ語通じる。面白いw
