For me it was really amazing. From all the cities I have been to, I liked Istanbul best. I know I will go back in near future, I wonder if I will still feel the magic :).

That's the point after all. Why are there soooo many Starbucks franchises? Huge mark-up. I do wonder if there's any city in the world with more Starbucks per capita than Vancouver. We have them across the street from each other... I was very surprised about not easily finding a Starbucks in Seattle, their hometown. That's, well... incomprehensible here.

Never seen prices that high. And I've been to Luxembourg! ;-) @DougguoD: No, opted against BurgerKing this time around although Istanbul *is* a civilized city (i.e. has its share of BKs and McDonalds’).

I like the haunted upper story not lining up or even square with the haunted lower story. Must be the poltergeists. In writing this, I'm now wondering about the possible meanings of "story" in that usage. You didn’t go to Burger King?!?
