I spent 3 days in Istanbul, before starting my ANZAC tour.
Istanbul is so alive, lots of noise...colours..people.
The carpet shops were fantastic - in Saudi noone gives you apple tea or offers to buy you a shawrma.
Everyone on the street was so friendly.
It was hilarious the way shopkeepers would say "gidday mate" and "ki ora", and we'd surprise them by replying in arabic - totally catching them offguard. |

Very funny description of the Turkish bath! | sargentjeff Thu Mar 11, 2004 18:00 UTC
Wow, those baths sound like a beating more than a washing. I've got to remember to pack some pain relief pills for that place. Really wonderful tips, very interesting! | whitecliff62 Tue Dec 30, 2003 08:38 UTC

Excellent advice on the "Testosterone-filled" workout facilities! ;-) Someday you will make it to New York City, Bec, just like someday I will make it to Istanbul. Both are on our *wish lists.* I enjoyed your tips here! |
