Only Assholes ride the bus
İ learned that İ don't need to ride the stupid bus! This is the greatest thing that has ever happened. İnstead, İ just need to walk down this little hill and ride the above ground rail system. İt costs less, and doesn't piss me off hardly at all! İ think that İ can survive the rest of the trip (if only İ could figure out how to ride a taxi).
We managed to take the tram over to the other side of the golden horn and explore the bazaar a bit more. İ seems that the preferred method of attracting business in the bazaar is to shout stuff at people and totally get in their face. Let me tell you, it doesn't seem to be working very well. Although, now that İ think of it, there do appear to be about four thousand stores (not kidding, this place is ginormous!) that sell exactly the same stuff and they all managed to stay in business. So, maybe standing outside your shop and yelling at people to let them 'help you spend your money' is an excellent business plan.
Tomorrow, we plan on visiting the spice market, so İ can get some 'spice'. Turkish prison, here İ come. Also the New Mosque. İt's called the new mosque because it is ONLY 400 years old. Alright, that is an outright lie. This city is absurdly old, however. Say, about 2000 years old, give or take a few centuries. Almost everything is older than canada, even the stuff that's 'New'.
Anyway, İ'm off to watch a football match at the cafe. İn conclusion, yelling at people makes them want to buy stuff, and riding the bus is for assholes.

I think you guys should start catching the dolmus'--I never took a bus in Turkey. The tram works for the old city but the dolmus' are the mini-van things that run along major routes...they have their destination on the front...use a map to figure out where that is. Stand on the side of the road with other people, wave your hand at one and then get in...then you can figure out how much it'll cost, and meet some local turks! Try it and get lost!
