It has warm people who are really hospitable. When you go there, every time they are welcoming you, they always like, says, come and have a tea directly and actually they always have prepared tea. I am into Turkish cuisine. Not only, I’m also into their drinks, Turkish coffee, Turkish tea and also their style of pairing or we can say generally lifestyle. I have many friends from Turkey. That’s why I visited like, visited several times and I’m planning also visiting it soon with my family, with my husband and I told her. Also, I like Istanbul because it is evenings. You see the tea near Bar the Bosphorus Bridge, you know, it’s very romantic. And I like also Sultan Ahmad Jami, it’s a mosque, one of the biggest mosques in Islamic countries. So when you visit this mosque, you feel really positive and you would have for several months maybe positive minds, you know, and it has affected me both like psychologically and it’s affected, it has affected my soul also. So there I bought my first Haluk Karan for example. I still have it. Yeah, Istanbul is my favorite place and it will be forever my favorite place.
