Istanbul was once Constantinople :D


I can't believe it, I'm in ISTANBUL! This the old capital of the great Byzantine Empire! This place it not like any other we've been , its such a crazy combination of the modernized west and the ancient buildings that make this place so famous. So turns out that part of cost of coming on this trip is that while we're here we get to go eat at  fancy restaurant  that they've reserved for us. Way fun! Its something that I wouldn't have chosen to spend money on  if I'd come on my own just cause its so expensive but I'm so glad this is a part of my experience here. All the food here is quite an adventure in itself. I think I'm really going to like Turkey.
