Taksim

Checked out the touristy shopping district of Taksim on Wednesday. It was very interesting, a lot of thin roads and loud shop keepers trying to sell you stuff any way they can. I enjoyed it very much. If you mention you are American they immediately turn on there charm because they consider us to be rich, which is true to an extent, however; I have seen plenty of wealth, especially around my campus. Most automobiles BMW, Porsche, Mercedes cost twice as much as in the States. We wondered through the Spice Bazaar and Grand Bazaar which are impressive, but also expensive.
