Japanese in Istanbul / Turkish Ice Cream
So funny.
Thanks for all the Istanbul emails, our trip plan (more of a rough outline) is coming together nicely. It looks like we’ll be arriving in Istanbul in late October.
If anyone has any Istanbul/Izmir tipsies… especially when it comes to of-the-beaten-path bars and restaurants, send me an /ask or an e-mail (click my name on the sidebar).
Fault Lines: Turkey East West

Are any of our followers living in Turkey?!? My brother and I are planning a trip to Istanbul and surrounding area in about 2 month.
If you have any tips, free time to hang out or a place to crash, send me a word to slavas(at)gmail.com

“Yemen is not the most peaceful corner of the Arab world. Situated at the southernmost tip of the Middle East, just across the Gulf of Aden from Somalia, it is the region’s poorest country. Yemen is also one of the more heavily armed Arab nations: it is estimated that there are more than 60 million guns in a country with a population of 25 million. That’s two and a bit guns per person, in case you can’t do the maths. “
