While I can read the article you would be receiving more responses and doing readers a favor if you copied and pasted the article.

 

Been to that grand bazaar many times, each time there is something to discover. Silverware is given, not sure about gold unless it is jewelry.

 

Did you try any street foods? The Döner kebabs look amazing!

 

simit is my favorite

 

How can you be certain that the food served is sanitary. If not you could have the runs for weeks.

 

if everyone there is eating the same sh*t and not die, why would you worry?

 

This reminds me of the professional financial writers who said:

When there is a crisis, people will buy gold (ie gold/USD will go up)

AND ALSO

When there is a crisis, people will buy USD (ie gold/USD will go down)

 

You can always tell when the shit is hitting the fan in Turkey. At those moments Turkey tries to improve relations with Israel.

 

turk’s beef is not with the jews, rather it is with the vikings up north who provide sanctuary for the kurds.

in any case, lot of history in that land and very awesome grand artifacts. i even went to the ishak pasa palace, lonesome.
