We came back to Istanbul after 1 week in the south, I couldn't believe I've have changed my dislike to like with Istanbul. Guess it's the weather reason too, it's much more sunny and windy the last two days when we're there. No more headache caused by smoke or pollution.

I think Istanbul is worth spending 1 week exploring because it has so many to see and visit. You'd able to experience the extreme of a religious country: seeing women covered all over except the eyes, also women showing off half of their breasts. I think it's wonderful to live in a country free of religion & speech.
No need to plan in detail, just spend 1 week in Istanbul freely, is already an enjoyment.....

Sunshine and blue sky welcomed us back to Istanbul

Blue Mosque

Sophia

Topkapi Palace

多瑪巴切皇宮 Dolmabahce Sarayi 

Food? I wont say turkish food is good enough. Chinese, french, italian or spanish simply beats it. No where else cant cook better seafood than HK.

Walking along the shopping street to Galata Tower, I think the Taksim square area is worth to spend half day to experience the local culture. Streets're full of shops, resturants and performance. You feel like in the middle of an european city.

Birdviewing 360 degrees of Istanbul, everything's so breathtaking. Breeze wispering on my ears, I wonder if life has treated you good so far. Sea gulls flew to observe us when we're checking out the city.

Icecream is so so bad in Turkey, overly sweetened and sticky. I miss the italian gelata. The best thing I ever had in Turkey is the fish burger. So fresh and yummmmmy.

We've also tried the apple flavor shisha, I have to admit it's so much fun and we had good laugh when smoking. I guess if I travel alone, I'd visit the shisha place everyday in the afternoon, read a book, sip the tea and take a nap--> I think I could do that for 1 week. 



We ended our day with a boat trip between Europe and Asia. A cute little boy has made the journey sweeter.
