Istanbul, the Pamuk city



Istanbul In my early imagination of Istanbul I was sitting at a café on the top with a great view. I visualized a beautiful image with colours, scents and down there the shades and lights from the Bosphorus crowded with boats and ships. Now after reading Pamuks book "Istanbul" I met this city for the first time in my life. The great view was there, the ships, boats and ferries too. But not the moisture, not the snow. Not yet. The feeling of a link between east and west is strong. It is a big city with a great soul.
