9 days and 10 trains after leaving London, I made it to Istanbul, and immediately loved it. Mainly because if how much of it there is. Which is weird for me: I’d realized not long after moving to London that I naturally prefer cities of about a million inhabitants — big enough that there’s things going on; small enough that there’s a common culture because only one of those things happens at a time.
But somehow Istanbul sidles up to you and says, “you know how you like port cities built on hillsides? How about that, but… more? Say, hillside port city in every direction you look?” And I totally fell for it.
Where's Zoe now?
