TURKEY, WHAT A DELIGHT

istanbul
Istanbul is almost like a magical city, somewhere you never actually believed you'd be able to find. The people of Istanbul seem cultured and deep, the streets have a hum to them, and the history presented at every corner seems almost unreal for its importance.
Turkey was definitly the most 'foreign' country we visited when comparing them with Canada, but unlike other places I've travelled I didn't notice as much. In Istanbul at least, things seemed very accessible and the city very welcoming.

Hagia Sophia
A mix of Ottoman and Byzantine empires; a pagan place of worship, a Christian Orthodox church, a mosque, and now a museum, but always the amazing centre of Istanbul.
