Three things I did not know about Istanbul till yesterday!

  1. Istiklal means 'Victory' Street'
  2. The Galata Bridge can split wide open to allow a huge ship/cruise boat to pass through!
  3. You can meet Fred at 2.00am by Karakoy water, facing Eminonu with a Turkish girl that you met for just 3 hours !

I was tempted to comment 'what about her' but then realized that it belongs to Bas and so I shut up! Nothing about her, will probably meet freddy again a few times in different places ;)

Since we are talking about interesting facts: the Galata Bridge was actually made to be able to open but it never has cause it can't (at least my Turkey guide says so)

I saw it open with my own eyes
Burn the Turkish guide you have !
Ill be your new one ! haha

Aakash Sethi said...

Before the visit, while the visit and after the visit, incredible as you would say !
