Istanbul

Istanbul was absolutely wonderful! The people were great and the nightlife was even better! I can't believe I had so much fun there. I was truly surprised that I did not get sick from the food considering I have been sick in Bulgaria about 3 times over the past seven months. I absolutely loved the food and most of the culture. Who could go wrong with rice and lamb?

I saw more black people in Istanbul than I have seen in a long time. It was comforting not to have people stare at me as I walked down the streets. Literally the black people there were from all over the world! Although I did not meet up with the Turkish volleyball team I did meet a couple guys that played on the Turkish basketball team. One guy was even from Chicago! I met a black girl from Canada and a bunch of people from the UK. I was in heaven in Istanbul. Ohh yeah I forgot to mention that there is a black hair salon! Guess who is going to Istanbul to get her hair did?
