Goin to Turkey

Transit for a flight to USA, 7 hours. Anyways I heard the place is nice and I should try food and yada, but I do like to travel and know more about places, so I don't wanna be like, "I stopped in Istanbul and ate a lot.....it was good." So anything interesting I should look out for?

When will you come, I can even personally show you around if I'll be still here!

If you're stopping off at Istanbul, I'd check out the Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cisterns, Rumeli Fortress and the Walls of Constantinople. There is alot more to see, but that is just what I can think of off the top of my head.

The city is everything frost lol. All the history is in it. Its the main city of old time and when you actually go there you will realize that its very special. I've seen many great cities but Istanbul..... thats freaking higher level in every possible aspect. Dunno, for me all those new cities with modern buildings are like meh, always liked cities with historic parts in them. Istanbul has oriental, roman and many more cultures in it all spiced up with modern stuff. The food...... if someone does not like food there, then its surely they are not fans of food at all. You just have to find nice places to eat because in every large city there are good and bad parts lol. Its not like whole city is shining from greatness. If you are from america then you should forget about McDonalds and see what real pro food is haha (maybe im biased here a bit because balkan's culture has many turkish traditions in general, it comes from being occupied in Ottoman era and the food is similar to what I eat mostly in my country as well lol)

How much are u going to stay? If you gonna stay at least few days then take time to visit all the historic places like castles, hagia sophia ofc, top kapi, miniaturk (turkey in mini shape) and such things and then at nightz go for the great clubs :D oh and dont forget the ride through Bosporus, you simply can't visit istanbul and don't feel the Bosporus. maybe even visit Maiden's Tower lol.

And ofc when you visit Grand Bazaar.... do not buy stuff there if you don't know how to bargain. Everything you see in that bazaar can be found elsewhere for much less money lol. Or you can start talking turkish and get everything for at least half price

EDIT: just saw you have like 7 hrs? lol. Meh you can't see ***** in that time, maybe then just go around Hagia Sophia place, there are many things there to be seen. Top Kapi, Hagia, Blue Mosque, Bosporus and the bridge and few more things in that part of the city. However if you rush and use metro, you can get to few more places easily in no time

O_O So much to see, but I'll only be there for 7 hours, even so I will get to see something in that time. I actually want to try the Turkish food, cuz I've heard much about it. Seems like the Bazaar is the place to be so I'll try to be there, hopefully I don't get addicted and left behind :/

Lol, Turkish night clubs is the best in the world nigga, if you're there at night forget about foot, you can get GOLDEN TIME ._.

Yo hope you had a good time in Turkey, Frost.
