Istanbul at its best

I returned to Istanbul for a few days in order to prepare for my next big adventure coming up. I was meeting up with 2 of my friends to do a 2 week holiday session with them. On the 30th I had to wake up really early to get to the airport to pick them up. I managed to track down a cab in Ferikoy at 7am. Its quite difficult trying to find a cab around down. The cab was extremly fast. I think I arrived at the airport in less than 20mins.

After meeting up it was a mad rush to get to the hotel to start shopping and sighseeing together. We jumped into a cab to head to Sultanahmet. My friend is right in saying - Indicators mean nothing. Speed limits mean nothing. Pedestrian crossings mean nothing. Lane markings mean nothing. You will be going at 60km/hr when the driver will slam on the brakes because someone decides to cross the road. What can I say " Welcome to Istanbul"...
