Turkey: Istanbul: The endless shopping districts of Taksim and Grand bazaar
The Taksim Square and central district is a part of the modern Istanbul with an endless amount of shops, hotels and restaurants. The mainstreet is longer than your eyes can reach and is crowded with people shopping, walking & talking, eating and entertaining themselves. My local host (from Couch surfing) told me it´s as crowded until early morning, like 4 am or so and even the shops keep their doors open as long as they like, for example til´12 pm or 01 am. Hm, where do all those people come from? Istanbul is huge. I´ve never seen so many shops and so many people in one street in my life before. Shop til´you drop, or...?

THE GRAND BAZAAR:
The grand bazaar is one of the world´s largest covered markets. Here you can especially find spices, pottery, carpets, silver & gold, scarves etc. The perfect place to find souvenirs! It´s very easy to get lost there in the 58 streets and 6000 shops... which both me and my son did. I knew we would the minute I walked in there :)

Jag vill ha såna där färgglada tofflor med tofsar :-)!
Ser ut som om ni har det riktigt bra. Istambul verkar vara jättefint.
Hoppas det inte är för varmt och att ni inte råkar ut för några busar.
