Istanbul is such a lovely city, especially at this time of year. I decided to put together a short ode to the place, where I have spent the last two and a half months.
To the flowers, which are popping up everywhere: from the trees, from the grass, from the roadside vendors taking advantage of the Turkish passion for love.
To the mosques, so picturesque, from which the booming call to prayer echoes throughout the city five times a day.
To the ever-present Simit, a tasty and thrifty supplement to any meal.
To rooftop terraces, offering spectacular views and atmospheres: whom anticipate impatiently the liberation of the warm summer months.
To the Dolmus, what sketchy transportation! An Efficient and roller-coaster-esque ride is promised to numererous locations around this sprawling metropolis.
To the cats, sweet abandoned animals, that roam the streets in vast numbers.
To the chaos, that defines the city so well, adding a certain spice that makes life here so unpredictable and exciting.
