I was in Istanbul last weekend. My primary purpose was to see a play - a musical comedy in which one of my friends had a leading role. The play, along with other things, such as seeing a group of friends and having breakfast in Kuzguncuk, raised my spirits. Despite its never-ending chaos, Istanbul gives me peace.
Now I'm heading to Izmir, another city of boats. I don't know much about Izmir, though I've been there a few times, so I'm hoping to get to know it better this time.
i have wanted to visit the mysterious city of istanbul for a long time.
ReplyDeletethe interior space of hagia sophia has attracted me since i was in college, even though i am not a particularly religious person.
i imagine that this is an extraordinary place in the world.
i know next to nothing about istanbul, and about izmir i know even less. i am looking forward to hearing of your adventures there.
