Spring rain
Spring rain and slow sync flash on the way from Kabataş to Taksim.
Bozcaada
Bozcaada is maybe the most Greek of the Turkish islands. It’s also where my first true hitch hiking experience took place as a passenger. The five of us were collected by a young couple in a battered Fiat Uno. Three

Çanakkale
We almost never made it to Çanakkale. Early morning countdown: up at 5:20 AM, we get the 6:10 vapür from Üsküdar. Arrived at Eminönü, 6:30 AM. On time. We sprint to the bus stop on the other side of Galata bridge.

Outbound – Inbound
If Istanbul was an iceberg, the central districts – Üsküdar, Kadiköy, Sultanahmet, Eminönü, Beyoğlu, Beşiktaş – would only be the tip sticking out of the water. Many of the 18 million metropolitans live in suburbs that sprawl inland, far far

Gaziantep – city & birds
Escaping the youth council for an afternoon, I went to visit Gaziantep city along with the other EVSers. It’s a big metropolitan area of over a million people. Linear avenues stretch endlessly, bearing rows of plain or shabby apartment blocks
