Forgot to Mention... The Earthquake

EarthQuake In Istanbul

Yes I forgot to mention a minor detail in my trip. I was smack bang in the middle of an earthquake in Istanbul. I was having a nap when the windows on the doors started to shake. As I jumped up trying to put the pieces of the puzzle in my head as to what the hell was happening, a friend of mine came crashing into my room to tell me.

I jumped out of bed in boxers of course trying to decide which camera I should take before I leave the building. Yes I know normal people would look for their pants but I was more concerned on what footage I could obtain.

Eventually after throwing on my jeans and rushing to the living room where my friend was having a panic attack I noticed half the apartment outside talking about it. The news was immediately switched to the earthquake and measurements of 4.5 were being quoted left right and centre.

My friend wanted us to go down to the park so I told her we could I just wanted to take a shower first. Yes I know who takes a shower in the middle of an earthquake but hey who knows who could be at the park and I didn’t want to be smelly.

So after a quick shower we headed out to a cay bahcesi ie a tea house. We waited for the sequel and apparently there was one but no one even felt it.
