Missing the Snow

If you are not sitting at home warm and safe, snow is usually a pain in Istanbul since the city has no proper infrastructure to cope with it. But I really missed its beauty; time to take the gang out of the closet.

Burger

Why can’t we resist a burger even in an Italian restaurant?

Safe choice for taste? Good price/performance ratio? Like the guilty feeling?  I assume everyone has a different point of view but it was again the winner of the evening.

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word

Seeing Blue in their Istanbul concert was much more fun than I was expecting, Didn’t regret being a part of the screaming teenage crowd, especially while listening to Elton John’s great song.

Are You a City Person?

Contrary to many people I become more and more a city person as I grow older. Can’t remember exactly what I was thinking while watching the awakening of Times Square from a hotel room but most probably comparing the life in NYC to Istanbul.

Black Friday in Istanbul, Really?

Are we importing only bad habits from US? Now the Black Friday, another temptation to spend money and related to something we even don’t celebrate. Hmmm...Having said that I fell easily into the trap! One cardigan and one shawl!

Little Budgies

Life has a way to rearrange your plans, even for these little budgies...They were thinking to visit Istanbul just for a couple of weeks but unexpectedly became part of family. Findik and Fistik, thanks for bringing fun to our lives and we'll do our best to keep you happy and healthy.

Macrocenter

Don’t like supermarket shopping but Macrocenter is an exception. Yes, it is expensive but there is no doubt on quality and no alternative to variety. Also congrats to their agency for designing the best insert; macrostyle. I love the branch in Akmerkez most among all in Istanbul. Santa has arrived there too and in one thousand versions…
