Day 2 - Istanbul
Learned some Turkish today. I know how to say German consulate, ‘Alman Consulugu’, phonetically speaking. Yet to master more useful phrases. I’ve also learned in 2days that turkish cab drivers DO NOT know where anything is. They just nod to your instruction and then drive around and get lost. They then ask other cab drivers, who also don’t know any better. Once they have done enough wandering, the law of averages swoops in to save them and they stumble upon the correct road…after which a bartering match will ensue: the meter vs the passenger.
Passenger is currently up 2-0.
