Turkish Delight

Istanbul is an amazing city and we have just ended up getting stuck here for a while. We started our visit by staying in Sultanahmet which is where most of the tourist-sights like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia are but after a few days we decided to move over to Beyoğlu which is where most of the bars are. Here we've just been hanging out with a bunch of really nice people and done the occasional trip somewhere like watching a Galatasary footballmatch, going to a Turkish Hamam and crossing the Bosphorus river where Europe and Asia meet. The two sides are quite similar allthough there aren't as many tourists in Asia, they have a bit more slanted eyes, are slightly better at table-tennis and have problems pronouncing the letter R. Turkish people are generally very friendly maybe sometimes a bit much, and I've never seen a country which is so proud of it's flag, wherever you look you see the white star and crescent emblazoned on the red background in all sizes.
Tonight however the group of people has split up and gone their separate ways. Elias and I plan on getting a nightbus to a place further south called Capadocia.
