Oh Istanbul! How I miss your vibrant streets, the lively atmosphere, the seagulls over the Bosphorus, the street musicians, the scent of freshly ground coffee, the call to prayer and the beauty of your old town, where every corner tells a story.

You have a way of making me float in the past, dream of the future, and simultaneously inspire me in the here and now. Amidst all the bustle of your diversity, you encourage me to enjoy the moment and feel grateful.
