Having learned to take pictures of unique signs from the master Mary Ann on our knitter's trip with Barbara, I thought I'd post a few that I took while in Istanbul.
The top ten signs you're in Istanbul:
Number 10: Pizza Hut is delivered by a Turkish guy on a motorcycle
Number 9: There is a Presidency of Religious Affairs to tell you how to behave in the mosque.
Sign reads:
TO THE VISITORS ATTENTION:
1. Please remove your shoes and place them in the shelf or put them in a bag.
2. The ladies should wear a scarf and a long skirt.
3. The gentlemen should be in trousers not in shorts
4. Should not speak aloud inside the mosque
5. Photograph should not be taken diring the prayers
6. Should wait at the rear until the prayers end
7. Should not go beyond the area allocated for visitors
8. For any information contact to the mosque personel
Thank you
The Presidency of Religious Affairs
Number 8: The underground reservoir was built in the 6th century AD and is considered a "vitalized example of universal cultural heritage".
Number 7: Domino's will deliver your pizza in a mailbox driven by a Turkish guy on a motorcycle.
Number 6: Bras are displayed in bags on the street, no on mannequins in the store.
Number 5: Restaurant specialties include "Ottoman Roasting" and "Shepherd Roasting"
Number 4: Street vendors sell roasted chestnuts and corn on the cob
Number 3: The only people in the El Torito on the main street are Turkish guys.
Number 2: The graffiti is unintelligible in two languages. Cartoon donkey says " I carry books since years but could not stop to be a donkey."
Number 1: Obama's image is used to sell guaranteed-interest-rate financial products. Oh, wait...
