Always impressed with how traveled people on CP are. Anyone spent time in Istanbul?
 
Meant “well traveled” in the title…

Targeting next fall to visit Turkey for a few weeks and explore Istanbul. Surprised at the affordability of flights to get out there through Delta.

Any recommendations?

It's on my list, but alas, I have not made it there yet. Turkey seems to have a lot of interesting stuff.

I’ve been on the other side so not much help.

Wanted something big and different and was deciding between it and Tokyo. I think I would want to spend some more time learning about Japanese culture before I drop myself into that city.

But yea Istanbul looks like a great mix of old world charm and a modern city. The food looks incredible and there is history everywhere. It’s also interesting how it spans two continents.

Need to figure out the ins and outs of their public transport because the traffic seems to be a mess.

I hope you follow in the footsteps of Grant Wahl and wear your pride t-shirt there. The Muslims of Constantinople are some of the most tolerant in the world. You will be welcomed.

Istanbul the home of Besitkas, Galatasaray and Fenerbache. There is going to be some really good soccer and home stadium atmospheres.

No, but when I was a kid in Germany, my neighbor, Mustafa and his family were from there. The poor kid and his mom used to get the shit beat out of them by his dad. He used to "hide" out at my house when it got really bad

I have always heard of this movie, but had no context for what it was actually about I just now watch the trailer after reading your post. I am going to have to see this movie. Amazing.

But yes, being detained in a foreign nation does not sound ideal I am going to try and avoid that

I coincidentally just booked tickets to Japan today...for a year from now. (I play the award travel game and found a business class redemption that I liked.) After your trip, let's exchange notes.:)

Posting this from a sleeper train somewhere between Budapest and Prague, so... goodnight. Had a great time in the former, though, so it's on my recommendations list for a short trip at least!
