Where Two Worlds Meet

It will be almost a year since my last writing. Life has been hectic, full of wonderful events but there is something I am really drown to write about as it made me think, question, understand, love - my first trip to the city of seven hills, the city of two worlds, as Napoleon explained it - the city that would be its capital if the Earth were a single state - ISTANBUL.

I am not going to write about its mesmerizing history or touristic attractions you can find in any travel guide, but about simple moments I had there that will keep me going for a while and that can bring a true spirit of this magnificent place closer to you. 

Coming from Serbia, more precisely City of Krusevac

 I am pretty sure that I feel, see and understand the ex Empire of  Ottomans bit differently (there is a lot of history there), mentality, ways of living, tradition, even language, there is a lot of similarity there, then again quite a lot of difference. 

True Istanbul 

The Oldest Market In The World

Artwork from Metro Station 

Carpets Heaven 

Between The Sky & The Sea

Being in England for too long, where you can hang out with cats only if you pay, literally, this was such a heaven. We spent 4 hours just sitting there and enjoying their freedom 

Well, this was an experience I absolutely hated at first, then every time I look at this piece of art at my home I want to hug this unbelievable man for making us buying it..

Topkapi Palace detail, for that place you need like a whole day 

Within Istanbul, there’s a ton of people who are totally hip – like the hippest people you could ever meet. So much contradictory and tradition, I guess this is what makes them different, special. 
Until the next time ...
