Whow what can one say to 4000 small shops and 25000 workers. Dont think they all work here at the same time. If it tourist souviners this is the place. Ceramic tiles, belly dancing outfits, shoes, leather goods, jewlwey oh the list goes on. I was scared id get lost as it was just a maze of shops all looking verymuch the same. There was a mumbering system but I didnt figure that out. I did buy a braclet with pretty beads for 2lira. Its hard to get used to bargining for a price. If the shop keeper says one price you half it then work up to an agreed price.
We also visited the spice market. Im sorry there were so many different types i cant name them.the mixture of smells was confusing mayge because ive fallen for turkish delight. Ohh its yummy. Good quality is ment to be chewym some are mixed nuts, almonds and pischeo, not sure how to spell that one and of course the pink rose smelling flavour. It costs 12"ira for 500grns. The best part is you get to taste it all before you buy it.
I bought some Apple tea which is a speciality.
Outside the market was the colouful tea seller only he was selling cherry juice which is so popular here in his pot on his back. He has small plastic cups in his pocket and when he bends over the drink goes down the tube into the cup.
Better go now. Ive still to tell you about the Sohiia Museum.
