sultanahmet diaries

random night

ok, i have a lot of random things floating around inside of my head
right now. it's time to get them all out...

1) i have seen more transvestites in the past 24 hours than i have
seen in the past 2 years ("why?!" i don't know.... i have just seen a
shocking amount of them in various places around istanbul)

2) i saw a live band play at an irish pub in taksim. they were turkish,
but they were singing in english-- singing kick ass covers of everything
from elvis to starsailor (p.s. starsailor is a really popular british band
that i had never heard of when i was in america)

however, male turkish singers are ridiculous dancers. they should not be allowed to dance or play air
guitar. unfortunately, this lead singer was guilty on both counts.... ouch!

3) the mall across the street from where i work has ever-changing
themes... last month it was barbie (?) and now, as of a few days ago,
it is episode III-themed. it's out of control!
