Istanbul

Last day in Istanbul and rather than tourist times I did a bunch of traveling around by public transit to do errands ( bus ticket, fed ex) which gave me a different view of things.

my vision of Istanbul is a blend of Paris and Cairo ( as I remember them and assume they are now)
big busy, cosmopolitan,chique,too big. Striving to cope with their size . Enormous wealth while a large portion of poor,old, underemployed and undereducated struggle to survive as life changes faster than they can keep up
