A WALK TO ISTANBUL

  My most favourite place in Turkey is Istanbul. Because it's a marvellous and beautiful city.
In Istanbul everything is special and different. For example Ramadan... As everybody knows, Ramadan is a very special month for Muslim people. In Ramadan, you can join a lot of festivals in Istanbul. And you can have a great time and lots of fun while going these festivals. This is an opportunity to go around in the past and live nostalgia. Having the Ramadan in Istanbul, is a different colour of culture for me. Because I live in Gaziantep and there are not these kind of entertaintments in my city.
I like nostalgia very much. In Istanbul there are a lot of old buildings, which are made of wooden, in old streets. When I walk in these streets, I feel happy and I enter in another world. This changes from person to person. But I enjoy this.
  And of course, you have got a lot of opportunities in Istanbul, when you want to go shopping.You can buy a lot of cheap cloths and shoes in Eminönü. Not only the clothes, but also the vegetables and fruits are well qualified in Istanbul. Briefly, shopping in Istanbul suits my budget.
  If you are fond of old and othantic things, Istanbul is the right place for you. I like looking for old
 things while I'm shopping. Especially, when I get bored, I always go to the 'Grand Bazaar' and buy souvenirs for my family and me.
  There are also a lot of historical places, mosques and tombs in Istanbul. I like visiting tombs. Because when I visit a tomb, I feel peaceful.This is the most important reason, why I like Istanbul so much.
  If you want to buy cheap kitchen equipment, that is made from copper, you can find these in 'Copper Bazaar'. In Gaziantep the models are limited. So, this is a big alternative, who are interested in old things, like me.
I like reading very much. There are a lot of book stores,  which sell different kind of books in Istanbul.
I like researching 'Sufism'. I can easily find interesting books about Sufis' life like Mevlana and the others.
I like eating fish very much.When you are tired, after walking around all the city, or after a tiring day, you can have a a rest and eat fish with less money in Üsküdar. The fish is always cheap and fresh there.
I don't like spending too much money in restaurants. These kind of places are very popular in Istanbul.You can have an enjoyable time while eating your meal in Istanbul.
There are a lot of competitions presenting local food, that is specific to different cities,in  Istanbul. You can join these competitions as a competitor or a viewer. You can buy local food and meet a lot of people instead of travelling.
And my grandmother lives in Beykoz. This is another reason why I like Istanbul very much. In Beykoz, you are away from the noise of vehicles. I think it's one of the quietest place in the world. Sometimes I want silence. Beykoz is the most suitable place to have this.
As a result Istanbul comprehends different cultures and places. Life is excellent in Istanbul. So is this a valid reason why I like Istanbul so much?
