På julafton gick vi i kyrkan, men inte i julottan precis. Hittade en moské i vitt och rött, som gav lite mer julkänsla. On Christmas Eve we went to church, but not exactly Christmas matins. Found a mosque in white and red, which gave a little more Christmas spirit. |
Down at the Spice Market was also an animal market. Nothing for the
Swedish Animal Welfare Association. So small cages. |
|
I en stapel av burar låg dessa hundar. Kändes inte riktigt 2000-tal precis. "Vad tar ni för valpen där i buren".
In a stack of cages were these dogs. |
Also Dr. Suluk was there. Dr. Suluk were leeches. The water bottles in
the picture contained these doctors. Cures probably almost everything. |
|
Man firar inte jul i islamistiska länder, mer nyår. Men här odlar man mossa till adventsstaken på väggen och julträd i stuprören. They do not celebrate Christmas in Islamic countries, more New Year. But here they grow moss for Advent candlestick on the wall and the Christmas tree in stovepipes. |
That Istanbul is built on a mountain this photo illustrates. The
dominant colour of the men's clothing was black, preferably combined
with a white beard. |
|
Vi hade ju strömavbrott minst en gång om dagen på hotellet. Det kan man förstå när man ser hur elinstallationerna är gjorda, eller hur? We had power failure at least once a day in the hotel. It can easily be understood when you see how electrical installations are made, right? |
A traditional Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, NOT. We ate a lot of
good food at an Indian restaurant instead. Merry Christmas! |
|
På juldagen tog vi pendelbåten till asiatiska sidan av Istanbul. Som alla kommunala transportmedel i Istanbul kostade det 3 TRY vilket är ca 12SEK. On Christmas Day, we took a shuttle boat to the Asian side of Istanbul. Like all public transport in Istanbul, it cost 3 TRY which is about 12 SEK. |
The Asian side seems to a considerable extent be where you live if you
can afford it. We spotted both newly built skyscrapers and really cool
houses. |
|
Spårvagnar fanns på både den europeiska och asiatiska sidan. Den övre modernare i Europa och den äldre i Asien. 3TRY kostar det per resa oavsett resans längd Trams were on both the European and Asian side. The top modern in Europe and the elderly in Asia. 3TRY costs per trip regardless of the length. |
As we already said many preferred to stay on the Asian side, it also
concerned all wild dogs and cats. Here they got a own house! |
|
De stora röda sakerna till vänster är rädisor de till höger är äpplen. Rädisor större än äpplen, kan de vara genmanipulerade? The big red things on the left are the radishes to the right are apples. Radishes larger than apples, can they be genetically manipulated? |
We walked a long way on the seafront promenade from the ferry situation.
Here we see the Prince Islands in the fund. They we will visit next
time. |
|
Imponerande syn från båten när vi kom tillbaka till Europa. New Mosque till vänster. Impressive view from the boat when we got back to Europe. New Mosque to left. |
Talk about stylish shoe shine boxes. Made of brass in Moorish style. But
maybe not the most mobile? |
|
När vi kom till hotell California på kvällen var hela foajén nedsläckt. Jaha strömavbrott igen, tänkte vi, men myndigheterna hade stängt hotellet, å vi fick en kvart på oss att packa. Vi fick alltså vårt 3:dje rum på en vecka. When we got back to Hotel California in the evening, the whole lobby were dimmed. Ok, power failure again, we thought. But the authorities had closed the hotel, we got 15 min to pack. Then away to a new hotel. We had our 3rd room in a week. |
That the air conditioning is needed during summer is understandable, but
isn't this location's different? Should cars cool off? Electrical
installations are amazing, again. |
|
Alla gator fungerade som utökad butiksyta. Och vilket jobb att locka ut på morgonen och ner på kvällen. Kolla upphängningen av skyltdockan!
All streets served as expanded retail space. |
Different blocks were divided into the type of goods they sold.
Would you, for example, have towels or sheets you must go to this
neighbourhood. |
