Cotton Castle, Pamukkale
Located in the Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey is this amazing snow mountain-like natural site. It looks like snow but it's actually not! Read more about it here. It was really really cold. I think about 1 or 2 degrees. But my dad, sister and myself decided to be adventurous and heck it with the cold. We bared our shivering feet and walked down these slopes. I was stupid enough to get my feet wet by stepping into one of the pools. I totally underestimated the depth of it and ended up soaking my jeans. Freezing temperatures + cold soggy jeans. How nice! Haha.
All in all, it was a nice place to be in. Because of all the whiteness, ( The further you walk down the slope, the whiter it gets ) and the fact I was wearing heavy layers, I felt like a polar bear. A cold and wet polar bear!
Funny fact about Denizli: Whenever a family has a daughter of marriageable age, they'll place an empty glass bottle on their chimney. This means that if a family with a boy of marriageable age is interested, he can come and ask for her hand in marriage. How cute! Imagine if we have it in Singapore or Australia. It's like saying " Hello! I'm single! Come get me! " Ah! How embarrassing! I would definitely not agree to it!
