This is my hotel - Dongyang
Wow! Its airconditioned
Shit! I was going to remove my pant's belt instead of bag's
Sorry! they don't accept Indian currency
I was showing my channel to them
They are students volunteering for helping the tourists
They volunteer for helping tourists during their summer vacations
They work with Fatih municipality

So, Sultan Ahmet is safe for female travellers
For India they call Hindistan
Their country's actuall name is Turkiye
They are talking about 'Utaran', a soap opera in Hindi
Ya, our serials once get hit, continues forever
I knew Amitabh Bachhan, Shahrukh Khan and even Salman Khan is popular in many countries...
but this is the first time I am hearing Amir Khan's name
They are talking about "Taare zameen par" movie
They are doing a great job
I wanted you all to meet them
I saw a few more student volunteers in some other places
They can talk in different languages to help you
I wish we also have such volunteering system in popular tourist places in our country
Our Bollywood and Hindi serials are quite popular in Turkey
They mentioned especially about 'Utaran'
esp., Their mother and grandmothers love them
This is Fatih Municipality
Did you saw those Policemen!
How smart they were looking!
At such tourist hubs you will get a better money exchange rate than the airport
This is near Sultan Ahmet area
Turkcell, TurkTelecom and Vodafone are the 3 major telecoms in Turkey
They have 4g networks all over the country
but the quality can vary in different areas
Turkcell sim costs 130 Lira for 8 GB & 135 Lira for 9 GB internet data
I know Hindi because I am from Afghanistan
Nice to meet you
Thats Sok supermarket
likewise there are BIM, Carrefour, etc.
I am going to purchase a few things from here
The staff is quite helpful here.
But please check the expiry date before you buy them
Today is 29 and I just saw a bread which expired on 26th was still kept for sale
I found a cheaper water bottle here

I just found this shop to buy souvenirs
Probably I am not coming back to Istanbul so I am going to purchase souvenirs now itself.
Let me show you what I got from the supermarket
I am tired and hungry but I let me show you this first

3-4 packets for vegetarian noodles
I just need hot water to prepare them
this is for munching

I met a gentleman in the tram. He is helping me
He is a tourist guide accompanying a Russian couple
We became friends and then he offered help
1.85 lira deducted for this trip
Kurus is like Paisa in India
This is funicular
Taksim is located on a height
sometimes People curse me for being a vegetarian
My boss in Bengal, Mr Kaushik Gupta used to say. why have to come to Bengal when you don't eat fish!
likewise he is also saying
he is recommending 'Besparmak', a Kazakh dish for all non-vegetarians
This is Taksim square
