my take on Istanbul-part 2



8. go to sulaimaniye mosque- again, make sure you're a comfortable shoe and you need to do a lot of walking to get there. when i was there (oct'10), the mosque was closed for some work but you can still go around the side entrance to visit the dead...well, the famous ones i mean. their tombs are within the mosque compound. why would i mention it if it's gonna be close right?! well, i went there twice but went visit only once. the 2nd time i was there was to revisit my favourite fasulyeci..rice and broad beans..i know it sounded ordinary but believe you me, there's nothing ordinary about this dish. there are surprising few establishments selling practically the same things. my favorite is 'ali baba'..super corny i know. i attached the photo of the place and look for this guy. he's kinda cool and treated us very well.
