Turkish Delight

I have many posts on my time in Warsaw, lots from Russia & a few stories from Kyiv.  But I don't have any from my time in Istanbul.

This is because there isn't much to write about.  I spent 2 amazing years there.  The weather was always pleasant, never too hot or too cold; lemonade weather.  The people I worked with were lovely.  The clients were reasonable.  I don't recall any difficult meetings.  


The only headaches were dealing with the Greeks & Frogs who were supposed to supervise Constantinople & has failed to do so leaving a mess that I had to clear up. 

I had a beautiful apartment in Cihangir which enjoyed the best view in the world.  Across the Bosphorus to the Blue Mosque & the Princess Islands.  I even enjoyed driving my lovely silver Ford Mondeo (Ford was our client) around this notoriously choked city.  I would drive over the bridge to our office in Asia in the morning & commute home with the car ferry in the evening. 

The food was delicious, the women were beautiful, the music was different & fun, Bodrum was only an hour away by plane, the airport was modern & efficient.

Nothing to write about.
