THE NORMAL PLAYERS

Hello,
Istanbul is very beautiful and the architecture is great.
The city is very European and I am surprised that it feels more secular and less of a Moslem country. There is alcohol and Turkey people in western style clothes.

Of course there are the normal suspects.

-An American that wants a Gay president and is going to Harvard in the fall for law school.
-The Hostel Owner tells me he hates Americans.
-A French couple that both smoke in the room.. ( I am in a dorm room)
-Turkey girls that flirt with me... I have blue eyes.
-Australians that enjoy life.
-Taxi drivers that go around in circles to run up the meter on the taxi.
-Travelers that stay up all night and drink.
-Western girls becoming bed mates with the local men.

WHAT IS MISSING.
Strange lack of people with Dredds smoking marijuana.
I think the Turkey laws are very strict on drugs.
