Let me see once in my lifetime: Hagia Sophia

I love travel blogs! And I’d love to have one, but I can’t afford travelling :P . I’m pathetic, but I’ll make sure I travel a lot in the future, possibly around the world :D Since I can’t exactly blog about places I have visited, let me blog about places I have to visit at least onceĀ in my lifetime.

I came to know about this wonder Hagia Sophia (meaning ‘Holy Wisdom’) from Omar Nasiri’s book “Inside the Jihad”. LOL, I know, I’m not that well-read about beautiful places on Earth, so thanks a lot Mr Nasiri for enlightening me on theĀ Hagia Sophia (and thanks to Wiki too, for telling me the meaning of ‘Hagia Sophia’).

The Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya) was both a church and a mosque and is now a museum, if I’m not mistaken. There are Christian themed mozaic and Muslim themed artefacts inside, and I’m sure it is a very beautiful building. I happen to love domes too, they give an exotic feeling.

I wish I could upload a photo, but unfortunately I can only find copyrighted photos from Google. :D , so wait for me, Turkey, one day I’ll go and see your Hagia Sophia for myself.
