So what’s your favourite part about Turkey so far?
@FoodandFootprints3 жыл бұрын
Since we have only been in Istanbul so far, will say how walkable it is and ease to get around. After all that time in Malaysia + Thailand, it is nice to be in a city that is so walkable and not have to take Uber/Grab. Being able to hop on the ferry is such a pleasure too

Greg mate. I know this might sound like an obsessive Australian thing kind of thing, but you really should think about a hat. Maybe something like a pork pie hat that Tom Waits would look good in rather than your full Aussie style portable solar radiation interruption style device. But still, getting something between you and the sun will, long term, save you a fortune in the cost of picking skin cancers out of you head. Besides, you're cool enough/NYC enough to get away with it.
