day 04 and 05 :) Istanbul '07 trip

Day 04

Hoho.. abah kelihatan comel

Syukri arrived yesterday..... and we took a taxi back to the hotel since the hotel's transport didn't go back to the Hotel after sending us to the Airport... so... we met Ali!!! Mr Taxi Driver....

Ini Mr Ali

He's a nice man.... a Fenarbahce's supporter, Muslim and he also gave us discount since we're Muslim. Hahaha..... instead of 38 Lira on the meter, he only asked for 30 Lira. Oww... rejeki rejeki!!!!

That morning.....


Somewhere near Spice Bazaar

We arrived at the Hotel.... Syukri needed some rest before we start our journey that evening. Syukri met all my family members.... around 6.30... we started our walk. We walked along the road to the Blue Mosque.... Syukri looked sooo excited yesterday... and his Camera was turned on throughout the journey....

Syukri cakap "Cerie seh budak kecik nie..."

Mak wit her new friends..

First destination.. a garden right before The Blue Mosque.... we took so many pictures yesterday and the garden was one of the places involved. Hurm..... sooo many funny pictures.. HHAA...

We arrived at Inter Hotel Istanbul. Owh.. there are some changes in the hotel. some improvements.. cheywah.. bagus bagus.... Our rooms were on the first floor... room 102 and 103.

The restaurant.. where I met those 2 old men

Around 6pm... mak asked me to go and find some breads and mineral waters. So... I went out... wondering around Istanbul. owh FYI... in Istanbul.... every Sunday, all the shops are closed! even the Grand Bazaar closed on Sunday. Hmm.... susah nie.... but I kept on searching and looking for a grocery which is open on Sunday. Luckily there were 2 men in front of this Restaurant who were smoking. I asked them "ne rede dakkal??" haha meaning "mane kedai runcit berhampiran?" owh and they pointed me to a direction... I followed and founded one! whee!! thanx org tua!
