About the Book

After traveling to Istanbul, Turkey in 2014. Finally, I wrote a book about the trip. While in Istanbul, I saw many interesting things there and I think it deserves to be written in a book.

This book contains my travel record, I write it in Indonesian, some chapters in it have been translated into English and Turkish. I titled this book, Istanbul, the Colour of World's Capital.

@arfa was doing a presentation about the book.

This book essentially contains my travel record while attending a cultural learning program in Istanbul in 2014. In this book, Istanbul is described as a city with a myriad of advantages in it, especially the excellence in maintaining and maintaining historic assets, the maturity of democracy to the attitude of nationalism of its people.

About taking care of history there are interesting things in this book. That the Turks use history as the foundation of the physical development of the country. Once one of the Ottoman sultans intend to build an underwater road connecting continental Europe and Asia, but the desire is not realized. These ideas were then followed by President Erdogan who built Marmaray, the submarine lane of continental Europe and Asia which lies beneath the Bosphorus Strait.


Thanks to all friends who have supported my book launch.



Reprint for the Second Edition

For the past five years, I have worked in several major media in Indonesia. That, it made me not difficult to write a book about my journey. To finish this book, I did it within five months. And I am very happy, at this time I will reprint for the second edition, because of the first edition, about 800 books, I presented to some library and reading community in Indonesia.


In this post, I would like to share some moments during the launching of this book we performed at ACC Sultan II Selim building, Banda Aceh, Indonesia.

Thank you @sweetpea :))

It's great to see that Steemit is actually finding authors all over the world. Congratulations @arfa!

Hi @osmanbugra .. thank you for your support :))

Hi!

First of all, congratulations on the book. I am sure you have worked very hard to make it.

"excellence in maintaining and maintaining historic assets, the maturity of democracy to the attitude of nationalism of its people"

As a person living in Istanbul, these scopes are very open to debate from my point of view. But I wondered about the book, was it published in Turkey?

Hi .. thank you..

Btw, this book about travel.. and the contain is about my observation..

It certainly is and I respect that. Actually that's why I'm interested in and ask the Turkish publisher. As people living in Istanbul, we can not look objectively. From my point of view, our government's culture and history policies are very inadequate. It may be important that you look at this from the outside, not to see what we can not see because we live in us.

You are very good

:p

Congrats on publishing, I started a book and still trying to complete it.

Very nice @marcusxman .. what about the book?

I started a book about investing a few months ago. I was going to self publish so will not need capital to print and sell. Everything will be doe online and in PDF format.
