Kavaklıdere, Kızılay and Ulus

The above picture was taken from the window of the office of Serkan's friend/boss? (the guy who Mu arranged to help me in Ankara). It is in the posh area of Kavaklıdere, where most of the embassies, including Cuba's are situated.
And after Kavaklıdere, we went to Kızılay, the prime shopping area. I spent $75.00 US here to buy 3 English novels. At least I didn't have to start the long flight to Chicago this summer without anything to read. The photo above is taken at a market somewhere between Kızılay and Ulus. Ulus was the older cheaper area where my hotel was located. At least it was really close to the station where the airport bus left from. Next stop Istanbul... again.
