Recently I was tagged by my friend David Rogers in his blog post Seven strange things you didn’t want to know. Now it is my turn. Here you may find 7 strange but true things about me list from me:

1. I lost my dad when I was 33. My mom lost her dad when she was 33.

2. I used to do Karate when I was 14. I remember it like it happened today. I watched Blood Sport movie, and then decided to do Karate.

3. I used to do Water Polo when I was 15. I was the fastest swimming player of the team.

4. My brother is a warplane pilot.

5. I ran from one continent to another during Intercontinental Istanbul EurAsia Marathon in 2006. The Marathon started in Asia and finished in Europe. For more details about the marathon please read Intercontinental Istanbul EurAsia Marathon

6. I started walking when I was 8,5 months old.

7. My niece Elif was born in 2007.  The meaning of life completely changed after her.

Now, I will tag another 7 bloggers who hopefully will carry forward this theme. You may continue yourself if you blog, and link back to this page.

hey Mert, thanks for sharing! oh, I used to love blood sport! By the way, I did TaeKwonDo as a child. I guess those movies influence us more then we like to admit.
