Between Europe and Asia
Istanbul is a huge city built upon the Bosphorus, a waterway that connects the marmara sea with the black sea in the north. Everything west of the Bosphorus is Europe, and when you cross it to the east you are in Asia, making Istanbul a transcontinental city, which is so cool. I could say I was in Asia for a little while as the bus from Izmir entered the city, althought I didn't really step down the bus until I was ...
The beginning
After a sleepless excitable night at Travellodge a la Rodwell (thanks Amy), we have made it to Istanbul, the first leg of our journey to India.

I did manage to bargain for a few gifts for my friends!! [No, I’m not telling what I got to my friends who follow our blog! I want to surprise ...
Ottomans and All the Men, Part I
... and they leave, bursting in hysterics. The other, I am walking, attempting the most serious face I can muster (I have a hard time doing this.

He says, “Then where are you from? Canada?” I am now far away, not giving him the time of day, not ...
