so this is istanbul. things about istanbul:
1. there are flocks of stray cats
2. there are even more carpet dealers
3. the carpet dealers try to charge you ridiculous prices
4. but the pottery sellers are worse
5. meze is pretty much the best thing ever.
6. you get woken up at 4:30 am by a whiny singing man from a PA system... and it's not actually that annoying.
7. the women in headscarves seem a little more comfortable and happy walking down the street than the women in italy... and the larger ones are much more attractive because they don't have their jeans falling halfway down their butts.
8. they seem to be obsessed with tulips
9. and fleecing tourists
10. YES please lady!
