I love Istanbul!!!

So from the second we got into Istanbul I loved it! It is clean, people are helpful (there are carpet sellers but they are not as annoying as the people in Egypt trying to sell stuff were). There also is a wonderful breeze from the water! Micah said it gas changed a ton! He said he stayed in a hostel right near where we are staying now for $2.50 a night and the area was super dirty! Now there are all cobbled streets, with tame cats walking around, tasteful hotels and relaxing cafes. Needless to say everything is more expensive but it is worth it. There is even an electronic tram that goes all around the city(it is so clean with ac and it is $1 per ride).
I will tell you more about the sights later!
