Istanbul

Istanbul is an old old city, you can see the remains of many ancient civilizations and their culture in harmony with Turkish culture. The old versus the new, the traditional versus the modern is a conflict a visitor often observes. The city is full of contrasts, and colorful view....
 The heart of Istanbul is situated in TWO great continent, Europe and Asia, and yeah, having said that, this was my FIRST ever experience of setting my foot in the Europe continent :) 

Sorry for being in hiatus mode for quite awhile now, here are some interesting pictures of Istanbul that inspires me!
