Happy "Bairam"









after 2 days of rest and sloth, me and the parents threw ourselves out, it was a freezing afternoon. first we visited the grand grand mother, grand mother and the uncle at the semetary. it is getting though to be there, even tougher when you go there with your family, with people you dont want to lose. i realised it is important to remember and to honor, thats all you can do.
next stops are Sultanahmet,Eyüp, Kapalıçarşı. it is becoming a tradition for us. shopping, taking pictures, eating. my mother says this is the other istanbul, ok mother the other istanbul pull myself together, i like it. after eating meatball of Sultanahmet and "kemalpaşa" duo, we discovered a new place called " Hafız Mustafa Şekerlemeleri" its a little place near the mosque. the place looks like candy house in Hansel and Gretel, tourists love it.
then we went to Nimet Abla for the closure. i closed my eyes, make a wish and pull 2 ticket. one option is too risky i guess.
