I love Istanbul. Definitely a European city, it permeates Asian culture and habits. It has all you want and more. 2000 years of history, excellent architecture, thriving nightlife, low prices, great people, fantastic sceneries and a very high quality of life with surprisingly little traffic. Definitely a city that I cherish in all its aspects.

Mikebond Wed Oct 13, 2004 14:48 UTC Perch� l'UE dovrebbe rovinare Istanbul? Al contrario, dopo l'ingresso nell'UE, Istanbul e tutta la Turchia avranno notevoli vantaggi.
