Sultanahmet: Twilight and Beyond
The first picture below is taken from in front of Tuba Kız Kur’an Kursu. We then came upon these little streets lined with little shops like the Locom Turkish delight shop. And finally, back to the street running parallel to the Sultanahmet Cami.
A friend in Taiwan characterized me as someone seeking stability in risky environments. If she knew I had relocated to Northern Iraq, she would probably feel she had been proven right... But the truth is, life is quiet here... so far. But it's true that I love the challenge of figuring out yet another new place. I wonder if my curiosity will ever be completely satisfied. Charlie Chan said, "Curiosity responsible for cat needing nine lives." I only have one, so I better satisfy as much as possible before it runs out... or hope that I come back as a cat.

Hagia Sophia is great.
Istanbul is great...
I completely agree!
