It's huge. It's a bit scary and it's very exciting.

Istanbul is a mad mad place. There is so much here of everything, people, food, noise, shops and general balagan. They drive like madmen, and the city comes alive at night. Music being played on every street corner, hot food stands of every shape and taste, and alleyways full of packed bars and cafes. It's Bangok meets Budapest. 

I have never been to such a big place, it just seems to never end.

It's takes so much energy out of you, and here I am with a tempreture and a runny nose wishing I was cuddled up in bed.

City life is totally wasted on me, I guess I'll have to come again.
