Recently, talented performance artist Erdem Gündüz from Istanbul, Turkey showed his braveness against brutality and corrupted so-called “system” by his uncomparable intelligence .

Biraz evvel Kalamiş da çok şirin Nane adlı bir mahalle lokantası keşfettim. Sizlerle paylaşmadan edemedim. 4 yol ağzının kesiştiği bir köşede, mavi minik masa ve sandalyeleri, bembayaz örtüleri, üzerinde pembe çiçekleri ile öyle sevimli bir yer ki hemen canım oturup şöyle güzel bir mantı yemeyi çekti. İyiki de yemişim, meğer kaç çeşit mantı varmış?? Hem de […]

Here is one of my most favorite Hotel in Istanbul which has a characteristic style on his own, it is Sumahan on the water. A good example of late 19th century Ottoman industrial architecture which surprisingly is located right by the Bosphorus.
