İstanbul, Türkiye
A maschine with the sodas, water and snacks inside the bus from the airport to the city.
A lot of small streets with the groups of mens. Seems to be dangerous to walk around but in general nobody pay attention. You can notice some trash around but usually is not a food, just some plastic bags or parts of packages.
Not so much grass in the city and parks.
Many cats walking everywhere, on the roofs, streets, buildings and streets. What is impressive, all of them look good like they have food to eat and they are not homeless☺️
I didn’t see anybody walking with a dog, totally different than European countries. Especially any homeless dogs at all.
We went to the fast food restaurant, whatever the people didn’t eat they left in the box on the top of garbage bins. So that pieces of chicken they will give for the cats that walking around. Nice habits.
Ketchup and mayo or other sauce they give you for free with the sanitaize tissue on the tray with the food.
You can hear outside five times per day prayers.
In the currency exchange point they charged as 2$ for an old hundred dollars bill. The exchange is 1$=43.35
For the train you need to buy a card in the maschine for 165 and every travel cost 35. You can use one card for two people just enter the station one after the other one.
We found the dentist clinic in google maps and just entered without appointment. Without any problem we got the service in a very good clinic. X-Ray very fast and then consultation and offer from the doctor. After 3 hours we were done with the treatment that we expected.
There are small private shops everywhere. You can buy everything. I didn’t see any big supermarket as per now. Sometimes the shop staff calling people to buy something, they try to approach but in general is not so much and intensive.
A lot of restaurants around, you can find every type of food.
Is nice to walk around you can see many interesting places and historical buildings around.
Mandatory Turkish tea 💜
