In one short week

I will be in the middle of a 21-hour journey to Istanbul. But I firmly believe the pain of a five-hour flight followed by a five-hour layover followed by an 11-hour flight will fade as soon as we arrive.
I love Turkey already.
Had we not already booked a hotel in Istanbul, we may very well have rented an apartment, which is such a great way to see a city because you have a living room and a kitchen and you can fool yourself into thinking you’re local-like. (Thanks Mike for sending me the link.)
The first photo is by Fatih Guner. The photo of the mosaic museum in Istanbul is by shioshvili. The third photo from this site. I hope the photos I take are half as gorgeous as they are.

Oh my, I forgot how far away you are from Turkey. Where’s the layover? In any case, I’m sure it will be worth it. Totally envious, though I’m heading somewhere again myself ;-) And I don’t think you can really take a bad shot of a city as culturally rich and beautiful as Istanbul.

Hauteworld — this is why I’m so envious of the fact that you live in Paris. Everything’s so close to you. For us, it’s a five-hour flight just to get to Chicago.
Dreamsequins — you’re so lucky you’ve already been.
Liv — I doubt the stuff I come back with will be as amazing as all your goodies from Hong Kong, but I’ll do what I can.
