Famous People Visit <strong>Trilye</strong><br />
FAMOUS FLAMENCO DANCER<br />
A GUEST AT TR‹LYE<br />
In Ankara as part of the 6th International Ankara Flamenco<br />
Festival, Maria Jose Franco visited <strong>Trilye</strong> following<br />
one of her performances. Born in Cadiz and introduced<br />
to flamenco when she was just five years old, Franco<br />
began dancing professionally with dancers such as<br />
Carmen Cortes and Eva La Yerbabuena, later forming a<br />
group with them and giving many performances. She pursued<br />
her studies in flamenco at the Sevilla Dance Conservatory<br />
in Classic Ballet and Classic Spanish Dance. In<br />
1991 and 1992, she consecutively won first place both years<br />
in the Huelva Young Flamenco Dancer’s Competition.<br />
Franco and her colleagues mezmerized the audience in their performances, which were held at the<br />
Middle East Technical University’s Performance Center. They came to <strong>Trilye</strong> following the performances<br />
and were quite pleased. After taking the group’s photo, we adhered the photo to a bottle<br />
of Angora wine, which is an old name of Ankara, and presented it to the group as a gift. Franco,<br />
and her colleagues, Juan Manuel Moneo, Luis Lara Moneo, Joaquin Marin Flores and Carlos Merino<br />
Mempel mentioned that they were exhausted when they left the restaurant, but were already<br />
very excited about participating in next year’s performance.<br />
FAMOUS CHINESE DOCTOR<br />
VISITS TR‹LYE<br />
Traditional Chinese medicine has a<br />
quite prestigious position in the<br />
world. A number of foreigners travel to<br />
China as tourists, and to seek medical treatments<br />
with Chinese medicine at the same<br />
time.<br />
Yue Weijun is one of the names at the top<br />
of the list in the medical world. Weijun lives<br />
in Ankara, and is the owner of the<br />
Chinese Medical Massage and Physical<br />
Therapy Center. After healing a minister<br />
who had suffered from migraine headaches<br />
for 20 years, he earned his reputation<br />
and he healed many other well-known<br />
politicians and businessmen.<br />
In November, Mr. Yue came to <strong>Trilye</strong> as the guest of famous dentist Prof. Dr. Yaşar Aykaç. After Dr.<br />
Aykaç, a reputable doctor himself, mentioned to me that “He saved my wife’s life,” I knew I had<br />
to meet this Chinese miracle worker. His eyes lit up when he spoke about his focus on finding solutions<br />
to a number of people’s problems. His name has been spoken of numerous times at <strong>Trilye</strong>,<br />
but this was the first time he visited. He left the restaurant very pleased, promising to return more<br />
frequently in the future.<br />
