Bursa vibes and busted trucks

i just checked and it's freezing, hope you like that kind of thing. the air feels like a fresh slice of pizza and the neighbors keep whispering that if you get restless, nearby towns are a quick spin.

- my old board, a busted wrist guard, and a pack of cheap grip tape
- cheap eats at the bazaar (don’t trust the guy who sells “authentic” kebabs)
- a playlist that keeps the wheels humming

someone told me that the night market’s fried dough is a must, but the vendor will side-eye you if you pull out a phone.

i spent a lazy afternoon wandering the old streets, sipping something that tasted like burnt sugar, and got lost in a maze of tiny shops. the locals swear by the hidden tea garden behind the mosque-if you can find it, you’ll get a free sip and a story.
