Istanbul greetings

I hail a Taxi. "Where do I take you?", "To Asia", I reply, and I get out in another continent, with the same parfume of the sea.

I called the city Catbul, insted of Istanbul. Have you ever been in another city where the cats are so loved?

They say Istanbul is the city where "east meets west". I think there are still too many symptoms of arrogance towards the west, when Turkish people are the kindest community I've ever visited.

Children shouting, taxis crossing the city, people selling things. Istanbul is always awake!

Observe closely the gold of the Bizantine treasures and then close your eyes. The strong gold tone will continue being visible.

Have you ever seen a goose showing off in a fish market? A cat drinking directly from a fountain? People fishing from a crowded bridge? Visit Istanbul!







The minarets point to the sky asking it to water the city with sun, snow and storms all the year along.
