My Istanbul has moved….

We have moved to here. Thanks for stopping by !

Simit / Kind of Bagel

                               

Typical Turkish Bagels. You see these fellows everywhere in Istanbul. Actually not in Istanbul only, they are in whole Turkey. It is very cheap. We usually have some cheese and tea with it. No matter, it is rains or snows, these guys are always there, in every single corner.  

Money Money Money

 

                    

        All started with bartering, then shells, after that,  first metal money in China. First silver coins were first shown in Lidya (Turkey). This was on a bank window in Eminonu. I gues the are trying to show how the coins looked like in the ancient times. I see coins from Ottoman times, then i see some Turkish Lira and Kurus…Other than that, do not know what this little men are doing there…

Haydarpasa Railway Station

                                                                                                        

Haydarpasa Railway Station is on the Asian side of Bosphorus. The Neo-Classical castle was build between 1906 and 1908 by the Anatolian Baghdad Corporation and was a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany to Sultan Abdul Hamit II. The terminal is the start of the Anatolian railway system.

On my way to Asia

This photo was taken on may way from Eminonu to Kadikoy; in other words, from Europe to Asia . Takes 15 minutes only.

Welcome to My Istanbul

Very soon, I will be posting a photo of My Istanbul, every single day…

So, whoever has been here, whoever wants to be here, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy….
