Where did you hear that?
Data trafic is shown below:

According to this, 5 TL is for 1 mb and this is 2,7 US dollars.

I second that. In the end of the day everything that is stored digitally can be retrieved by thieves easily. Buy a hidden money-belt and keep all your important belongings and photocopies there. No sensitive information should be stored online – even governmental internet sites get broken into after all.

I also enjoy using Evernote for planning my trips. Last month I sent a trip itinerary to my travel agent in London and she booked the flights and hotels for me. It’s very convenient once the trips is set up. And as you said, you can read reviews while choosing restaurants or places of interest.

If you have an iPhone, try My Maps ($1.99) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-maps/id321930101?mt=8. You can download your Google maps for offline use.

I used Evernote in my business trip last month. I created as share notebook. I wrote down all my flight, train, and hotel information there. Also i used to save some websites links and ideas when i made my planing. During my trip, i also used it to write my diary. I shared the notebook with my husband so he could see what happened to me. Since we were in very different timezone at that time, i think Evernote is really very very useful!

The google maps app cache maps. I’ve got mine set up for my trip to France, and it has my map set up, cached, with everything I’ve starred (restaurnts, etc), metro lines, etc. It caches the most recent area you were looking at.

Also, http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/download-map-area-added-to-labs-in.html

But a little advance planning and “Download map area” can help. Before you take your trip, while you still have access to WiFi or data coverage, you can open up any Places page in the world, click “More” to get the Place page menu, and download Google’s maps for a 10-mile radius.

On a recent bus tour, we often stopped at a site with many similar looking busses. I used Evernote to save a picture of the front of the bus with the window sign and bus number. I could easily check this to be sure I was getting to the right bus.

Evernote was indespensible on a recent trip when we missed a flight connection and consequently missed our cruise ship. Having such items as the Cruise reservation number, airline flight info and the travel insurance documents on my phone meant that they were instantly available as we tried to retoute to meet the ship. When the agent gave us a 16 digit airline ticket number, I simply typed it into Evernote. The next day, we showed up at the counter and handed the agent the phone so she could call up the ticket. No more pockets of scraps of paper and a large folder of travel documents. They were all on the phone.
