Day 119 & 120: Istanbul, Turkey

Day 119: Today I went on a tour of the Bhopshours sea which splits up Turkey in the asian and european parts. Most people live on the Asian side, since it's cheaper and live on the European side. Saw the mosques with all their minerts, number of minerts (that's where they have the call to prayer) depend on how much the doners had contributed. The Asian side didn't look to different than the European side. Then went to the Blue Mosque and saw all shades of blue. The mosque had a mixture of Arabic, rocco, and baroque styles. Went to a Turkish bath where they steamed you up then they scrubb you down with a nice massage.
