Turkey: Images 01

Sultanahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), the most famous mosque in Istanbul.
Ayasofia Muzesi. Used to be a church, then a mosque, now a museum.
They have a good metro & tram system in Istanbul.
There are many mosques, in the style of the Blue Mosque. The two closest here are Yeni Camii and Rüstem Paşa Camii.
There are churches here also. I have no idea what this one is.

But I did have good food in India, and it was cheap. This meal was about $3.
