We are from Chilaysia

"We are from Chilaysia." After being asked so many times where we are from or endlessly saying NO to the guesses of "Japan?", "Korea?", "Taiwan?", "Singapore?","Thailand?", and then answering separately that I am from China and Julee is from Malaysia, we decided that we would coin a country and say we are from there. Thus the birth of the proud country of Chilaysia. We now only have to create our national flag and national anthem.

Ok we are out now to my nightly dose of Turkish ice-cream. My favorite flavor of blackberry. Also in the center of Sultanahmet, there is Turkish Tourism Festival going on with a stage of live music, band and pop singers and lots of locals dancing around.
