Luciane and Istanbul

BEING ABROAD WAS A DREAM FOR ME AND THIS DREAM CAME TRUE IN ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY OF THE WORLD. THIS CITY WAS ISTANBUL. The winter of 2006 was the spring of my life. I saw the differences beetwen the oversea countries. I saw the mystery of the three civilizations, the water of two different seas. I felt the lightness of being able to change two continents in just one minute, the peace of hearing ezan from the minarets and the bell of the churches. I felt an authentic-factual peace. It sits on seven hill. The historical one is the first one, but the best one can change in respect of each person. For me the best one is the first one. Also it is the historical peninsula of İstanbul. When i was in my country, i desired to see the Arceological museum which is located in the best part of this historical peninsula. To see the tomb of Great Alexander. And i visited and saw it. Even i touched it. Just beetwen this wonderfull museum and sea side there is a peacefull public garden. Nice relaxing garden and if you walk till the end of this garden, it gives you a wonderful gift; one of the most wonderfull view of Istanbul. You can see the ships passing trough the bosphorus. (The waterway that divides Europe and Asia) and drink a traditional Turkish coffee against this wonderfull view. The other hill is the most cosmopolit one. The other one is the one which has the biggest panoramic view of Istanbul. And the list may go on like this longer and longer. And the lesson i got from this trip is seeing comes before thinkink. Seeing is beyond all of the toughts. Come and see. See and feel. As a small advise you can stay in a small boutique hotel in Sultanahmet where is possible to reach anywhere of Istanbul very easy. I didnt talk about the foods couse it is a big history. I can write a book about this. Wonderful Kebaps, fishes, Ayran and so many others.
