One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Bon Jovi Concert in Ottawa in 2007.
I was in Times Square on the New Year's Eve of 2008.I standed for 7 hours in a less than 1 meter square area. That sucks!
I attended the seminar given by Bill Gates in Istanbul, Turkey in 2006.
I am a man who has seen Amsterdam before his death! :)
I didnt go out of the bachelor last week for 3 consecutive days! (that is the record of my life..)
When I was 15, I sat on a pilot's seat of a real fighter plane F-16 (FightingFalcon)
My best friend and I hosted 4 South Korean ladies who needed help. It was a very nice experience. Now they are waiting for us to visit them in Korea and they now love Turkey! Thanks to Turkish National Soccer Team for 2002 World Cup Success. South Korean ladies love me, so do I :)
I came to Munich (3 May 2010) with no prior preliminary study of the city.. today (as of 14 May 2010) I am heading to Rome without any hostel hotel or couchsurfing arrangements.. seems like I really became a very-last-minute guy :)
