Capadocia, Turkey

Istanbul is a vibrant city. There's a lot of people, a lot of noice, a mess of traffic. It's different and it's wonderful and it's alive. The Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar's tiny passageways form intricate labyrinths in the middle of the city. The Basilica Cistern's amazing, with a genius repetition that's only made better by it's reflection on the water and the light show that's put on. The views any balcony can offer suggest that the same fast-paced life that can be seen on the streets follows through to the boats on the sea. Every street has something to look at, something to marvel over. Curiosity peaks when it comes to architecture - especially when visiting the palace and main churches of Istanbul. There's a beauty in the design and the way their culture is exhibited that's exquisite.
