Lamp Shop In EminonouWe hit the streets again today to scope out neighborhoods. We only have our apartment in Kazasker until August, so we are scouting out the City trying to find a neighborhood in which to settle. With this big of a city it is a pretty big job... it will be occupy most of our time for the next few months.
Today was a Holiday in Istanbul coupled with a big Futbol match. A few days ago there was a bombing downtown that killed several people, and the Police were out in force today. Even with several thousand Cops about, the atmosphere was light and cheerful. We walked many miles through downtown today, rode the bus, ferry and tram and got home about 6pm.
Tonight the air echoes with the sound of gunfire. Thousands of shots are being fired in the air to celebrate....what?...we are not sure of yet.
