Di\yabakir, the old streets

 In little shops in the alley ways, people are fashioning household items out of metal or other materials. It's fascinating to see, we don't have this here in the USA. Maybe we should, rather than buy everything from Asia.

 I don't know what this guy is selling but there are a number of them on the streets, carrying a similar getup.

 The Eastern part of Turkey is much more traditional. Istanbul is so cosmopolitan that one cannot identify it as Islamic. Maybe it explains the rioting, they really don't want to give up their Western styl freedom. It just takes losing a little of them at a time and before you know it, all women are put in burqas and have to stay at home.




It's a fascinating mix of people and activity.
