THAILAND, WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2025
@all my dear Turkish friends for the emotion!

Turkey continues to be the star of my summer vacation!

The Women's Volleyball World Championship concluded today with an Italian victory.
In the final, barely beating the excellent Turkish national team 3-2, both teams demonstrated what it means to be women.
