Deepak,
Beautifully written! Thanks for describing this most interesting and lively city. I guess Istanbul is such a great secret because so many Turks don`t go around boasting about this wonderful city. Your description of the city took me back to scenes of Eminonu and Haidar Pasha. Thanks,
Salim

The Turkish girls from Turkey are the most beautiful girls on the face of the earth with very sharp and well-defined features. On the other hand, the Turkish girls from Turkistan are rather mongolid-looking cuties with blunt features.
Therein lies the tragedy of Anatolia. Sigh!
