FACE TO FACE

FACE TO FACE

Have you ever met someone from the bloggosphere face to face?

My friend Matthew wrote to me once:

“Most of last year I enjoyed a wonderful love affair that began here in the bloggosphere. I was so awestruck by this person's creative instincts, intelligence and good looks. The written connection, facilitated by this medium and interface, became a spoken one.

*

The best aspect, prior to our first meeting in person, was how inspirational I found this person. She was rapidly becoming a "best friend." We tried the "video conference", but I don't think I'd do that again. It's too "jiggly".

*

The reason why some people do it before they agree to meet in person is that "the camera doesn't lie," and there are many who use past-dated photos of themselves during a time in their lives when they really did look wonderful and appealing.

*

We enjoyed sharing some travel and vacations that year. It might be presumptuous to think that every person whom one can meet "in person" from here in the bloggosphere could turn out to be a wonderful love affair.

*

So, there... that's my story of meeting people via blogging. Sometimes, like you have found too, it's a pleasant surprise where deep friendships can take root.”

ONE OF MY HOLIDAY'S DESTINATION

EPHESUS

Androclos, the son of King of Athens-Kodros, was searching a location and established the city of Ephesus in the year of 10 BC.

Later Ephesus was ruled by the Lydian king, Kreisos, in the mid 6BC. The city reached the "Golden Age" and became a good model to the Antic World in culture and art, as well.

In the year of 334 Ephesus was dominated by Persians and was in great prosperity during the times of Alexander the Great.

Ephesus was controlled by the Romans in 190 BC and reached to its height and was notorious for its wealth and luxury between 1-4 AD., especially during the reign of Augustus. The population of Ephesus increased to 225 000, and the city became the capital of the new Asia.
