\"\"<\/a>Photo Three:<\/strong> We went to the Grand Bazaar and it was crazy. There were a million vendors with similar products and they all were shouting out at you vying for your attention and business.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Photo Four:<\/strong> There were clothing lines everywhere. This is just one street I found picture worthy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Photo Five:<\/strong> Katielynn and I in the Hagia Sophia. It was once a Basilica and then a Mosque and now it is a museum. It was huge and beautiful with an interesting blend of Christianity and Muslim art.<\/p>\n

Observations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turkish men are not afraid to stare.<\/p>\n

Restaurant owners and people selling things will constantly heckle you as you walk by and attempt in anyway possible to get you to stop at their stand or restaurant. It is VERY irritating.<\/p>\n

Waiters are pretty over the top or rude (at least in my experience).<\/p>\n

There are many wandering cats and dogs here too.<\/p>\n

Turkish people talk very quietly in normal conversation and do not like to have loud conversations on the subway.<\/p>\n
