Have you been to Istanbul?

the food is great. i only saw a little of istanbul but i mean in turkey in general. izmir is cool. when i was there there was a cool amusement park with a big nature park around it with cool little pubs. the bazaars are awesome. idk about now but gold used to be super cheap to buy. you could buy custom made jewelry for amazingly low prices. 18k gold ones. try the spinach or cheese borek and the pistachio cookies. if you can make a side trip ephesus is cool. if you go in summer cesme beach was awesome white quartz sand. also (watch out for bugs in your salad) if youre there in peach season. the peaches are to die for.
