Hehe, Semalam asyik teringat Istanbul. Well the food basically. The awesome food Istanbul has. So I’m going to update a bit about my Istanbul trip. I heard that MAS is going to cancel the route to Istanbul soon. Sayangnya..I hope they take back their decision.Istanbul is such a beautiful place. Kitaorg tukar duit RM to Euro kat Malaysia then upon arriving there, kitaorg tukar from Euro to Lira.
Anyway, from the Ataturk Airport, we took the tram to Sultanahmet. Time tu aku still pakai tongkat, the guy yang jaga ticket bagi aku free token nak naik tram. Kesian kot. Better naik tram, baru harga 2 lira sorang. Kalo korang naik transport, it will cost about 50 euro ! 2 lira baru dalam rm5. Tram diorang lalu tepi sidewalk so you can easily hop on and off wherever.
We stayed at a small hotel at Sultanahmet road. It’s quite a convenient place to stay as you can easily find food here plus the hotel is facing Blue Mosque. So you can just walk to Hagia Sofiya, Tokapi Palace, and few other interesting places. The hotel cost us about 36 euro per day. Since it was winter, waktu siang was really short. Subuh pukul 6.30pagi. Sunrise is about 7am. Zohor plak around 12pm, Asar at 2pm and Maghrib: 4.30pm! By 4.30pm, dah gelap macam pukul 8pm Malaysia. Sejuk sangat! I would usually go to sleep by 9pm. Sejuk and mengantuk sangat dah time tu. Jetlag as well kot.
Okay some of the places we went:
Grand bazaar:
Don’t get fooled by the sellers there. Oh my. Mulut sangat manis and they will push you to buy stuffs from their shop. The moment you say that you don’t want to buy anything at they’re shop, they will automatically go into sulking mode and ignore you at all! Then terus silent mode and won’t even look at you anymore. I have never thought it would be possible to have that kind of behavior but i proved myself wrong!
Basilica Cistern:
Breakfast at the top floor of our hotel. The olives here are heaven.
View of Blue Mosque from our breakfast floor:
Nanti sambung lagi!
