ISTANBUL - More About This Nice Town

   Istanbul  have about  fifteen milions people . From my first visit till now town change , become bigger and different in many ways. For example I visited long ago some villages very far away from center of Istanbul . Now there are part of town .
   One part of town is in Europe but when you cross new bridge than you are in Asia . I'll show you how that bridge look . Modern like somewhere else in the world . In the Istanbul there are plenty of different kind of boats which you can use to cross the sea . From small ones to big , slow or fast , old and new.... Not need to wait on the bank because every few minutes boats are full of people and ready to cross the sea . By the way sea is nice blue color during all year.
   One can even rent small boat and oar slowly around sea . It's very cheap , and nice to look at town on that way. You can swim too if you like.
   There are many , many , hotels in the Istanbul . You can't imagine how many before you see it with your own eyes . From cheap to very expensive ! One more thing is extremely strange there. In every street there are plenty of drug store shops . Every second shop is pharmacy ! I was there several times , from one month to year but I never find out why something is like this or like that . At least I take things as normal for Istanbul.
   In the middle of the town there are Zoo . I was there many times . You can go in from part of town called " Sultan Ahmed " and go out from there at opposite side just near the sea . For me was interesting to see three

quite big pigs there in the Zoo . I love Istanbul and I hope I'll visit this town again . If you like to travel go there but keep on mind that you need time to see all beauty of this huge city. There one can have fun , eat , drink , swim , shopping... Below on pictures is so called " Kapaly Carsy " where one can buy from pepper to souvenir , golden things or jacket , and of course sit there to eat , drink and rest a little because this place is also very , very large .
