Wow, that's not the Istanbul I know. Last time I was there was 16 years ago.
one more day stuck in istanbul. this place is an absolute shithole. dirty, banks charge 8% for withdrawals, prices of everything are the same as what you pay in croatia, except shittier quality. plastic bitches everywhere with nose jobs and boob jobs, the air is bad. there are nice people here but they are practically all from west asia, the turks are mercenaries.

fortunately i will be in tbilisi tomorrow. my only regret in all of this is that i didn't move sooner. that i didn't buy a ticket to tblisi instead of istanbul. i had no idea how bad it would be.
