Before coming to istanbul...

Istanbul is a city with an important place in world history, known for its culture and cuisine. Located in western Turkey, Istanbul is a city that attracts tourists with its historic texture, breathtaking views, traditions, modern buildings, and shopping centers.

Istanbul is famous for its historical heritage. You can see many buildings dating back to the Byzantine, Ottoman, and Roman periods. Historical places such as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Galata Tower, and Basilica Cistern are among the most popular places in Istanbul. Hagia Sophia is one of the oldest churches in the world with its 1500-year history and stands out with its architecture. Topkapi Palace, on the other hand, is the former palace of the Ottoman Empire and hosts many works of art from the Ottoman era.

Istanbul's cuisine is also famous for its taste and variety. You can find many traditional Turkish dishes such as lahmacun, döner, kebab, baklava, simit, and börek, as well as world cuisine and vegan restaurants. In addition, fish restaurants are also quite popular. Fish sandwich is a unique dish of Istanbul and can be found in many restaurants along the Bosphorus.

Istanbul has developed transportation with its historic trams, subways, buses, and ferries. Trams and subways allow you to travel easily within the city. The ferry provides a pleasant journey on the Bosphorus.

For shopping enthusiasts, Istanbul is famous for its famous shopping centers such as the Grand Bazaar, Istiklal Street, and the Spice Bazaar. The Grand Bazaar is one of the oldest covered markets in the world and you can find all kinds of products there. The Grand Bazaar is famous for traditional Turkish handicrafts, jewelry, carpets, and silverware. Istiklal Street is famous for its modern shopping centers, boutique shops, restaurants, and cafes.

If you are going to Istanbul for the first time or have a travel plan, you may want to take a look at tips that will be useful for you. When it comes to accommodation, it is important to choose a place that suits your travel purpose. The city center is ideal for business trips or nightlife, while the historic peninsula region is ideal for cultural trips.

Places to stay in Istanbul include neighborhoods such as the historic peninsula, Ortaköy, Cihangir, Taksim, and Galata. The historic peninsula is a region where you can visit the Blue Mosque, Chora Museum, Istanbul Archaeology Museum, and Topkapi Palace, buy souvenirs from the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar, and enjoy delicious food. Those who want to watch the Bosphorus view can choose Ortaköy. You can try the famous stuffed baked potato of the district while sitting on the shore and enjoying the view. Those who want to be close to the nightlife can choose Cihangir. Taksim is a region that offers cheap accommodation options in Istanbul.

The most suitable months to visit Istanbul are the spring months. Especially May and September are the most enjoyable times to visit Istanbul. The temperature in winter varies between 8-10 degrees and drops to zero degrees on some days.

Be careful not to hit the peak traffic hours. Traffic congestion during weekdays in Istanbul takes about 2 hours from 7.00 am to 9.00 am. Evening traffic congestion usually starts to rise after 4.00 pm.

If you're planning to go shopping in Istanbul, instead of shopping on the first day, take a stroll and do some research to find the right and affordable prices. Bargaining is also possible, but doing so with a handshake can help the other party develop sincere feelings towards you. Historical bazaars such as the Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Mahmutpasa, and Tahtakale are ideal places for shopping in Istanbul.

Historical Bazaars in Istanbul: Grand Bazaar - BEYAZIT With its 550-year-old history, the Grand Bazaar is one of the most popular places in Istanbul's historical peninsula. As one of the world's oldest and largest covered markets, the Grand Bazaar has more than four thousand shops and stores that house a labyrinth of streets and passages, making it one of the most visited places among tourists.

Spice Bazaar - EMINONU The Spice Bazaar is a colorful spice market that both local and foreign tourists show great interest in. Selling all kinds of spices and medicinal plants, the Spice Bazaar is one of Istanbul's popular places and bazaars. It is located right next to the Eminonu Square.

Arasta Bazaar - SULTANAHMET Located next to Eminonu Square in the Sultanahmet district, the Arasta Bazaar is a colorful spice market that both local and foreign tourists show great interest in. Selling all kinds of spices and medicinal plants, the Spice Bazaar is one of Istanbul's popular places and bazaars.

Historical Copperworkers Bazaar - BEYAZIT Located in the area surrounded by the central walls of Istanbul University in Beyazit, the Historical Copperworkers Bazaar is one of Istanbul's oldest bazaars. Here you can find shops selling handmade copper objects and souvenirs.

Cultural Touring: You can find numerous historical sites and museums in Istanbul, most of which are located in the historical peninsula and many are paid. Except for the months mentioned above, there is a lot of crowds, especially during the summer months. The long queues that last for hours can tire you out, so the most suitable time is in the morning hours. Having a guide on these tours can add a lot to your experience. Here are some of the popular tour routes we will offer you:

1- Hagia Sophia Museum 2- Topkapi Palace Museum 3- Basilica Cistern 4- Sultan Ahmed Mosque 5- Sultanahmet Square 6- Dolmabahçe Palace 9- Maiden's Tower 10- Galata Tower

Transportation in Istanbul: Transportation in Istanbul is intense due to its population density and being the metropolis of Turkey. You can comfortably travel from one end to the other with public transport in Istanbul. Due to the density of public transportation, most visitors prefer special VIP vehicles for a more comfortable journey. However, since not every street and avenue is suitable for vehicles, walking would be a great activity that will completely integrate you with Istanbul.

Cuisine: In addition to the traditional Turkish cuisine, Istanbul also hosts select restaurants from world cuisines. The restaurants located in the historical peninsula are among the must-visit places. You can also experience this with a special boat tour with the unique view of the Bosphorus. The most popular choices are restaurants located by the sea. Make sure to reserve your spot in advance.

In conclusion, Istanbul is a world-renowned city with its historical heritage, traditions, cuisine, and shopping opportunities. By visiting Istanbul, you can discover this wonderful city and have an unforgettable holiday experience.

what are we?

wanderer x gn!reader, could be a modern au, angst & fluff, he's scared of trusting his 'heart'.

an: i had a dream he asked this (he asked more but I couldn't remember) and it was like a twitter back and fourth😭

ac: @/syea-say on tmblr | @/syea_say on twt & ig

"What kind of relationship do we have?"

The question came abruptly, bringing the silence to an end. You noticed beforehand that it seemed like something was on his mind, he appeared to be elsewhere in his mind, pondering deeply. Is this what that was about?

He doesn't wait for you to answer, not yet, he continues,

"Love always ends in disappointment." He turns to face you properly, a stoic look in his eyes, his lips pressed into a line. "You're a mortal too, so what's the point of pursing something like this when it'll come to an end anyways?"

He was right to say that. I mean, you are a mortal, you have an expiration date, so does everyone, but to you and the majority of others it's normal, because it's something you learn to live with an accept.

"Everything ends at some point, you know there's not much to be done about that. We can only make good of what we have now."

"That's such a boring answer." He scrutinises you, his brows furrowing. "You know that's not what I want to hear."

You stare back at him, quiet as you think of what to say. You could easily just tell him that you won't leave him, that you'll never allow that to happen. But you can't make such a huge promise, if you break it, it would feel like a lie. You don't want to lie to him, but you don't want to disappoint him.

"There is no real point." You turn your head to look elsewhere, opting to view the scenery than see his face scrunch up. You didn't want whatever reaction he had to offer you, not when you weren't sure if the reception would be good.

"Do you think I do things because they'll last?" You crouch down to the plants nearby, touching their tips with your finger. "Nothing lasts. Everything ends." Life was no different than a leaf, but what defined it was not the tree that beared it nor it's kind but rather how far it travelled, how big it's world was. "But if I just did nothing my entire life and waited for that end to come it would've been no different from the beginning."

"What the hell are you trying to say?" The wanderer crosses his arms. He doesn't want anything complicated right now, each answer that isn't what he wants to hear sounds more like the opposite; Like you don't want to be here, with him.

Turning your head up at him, he was starting to bother you with his unspoken persistence for you to just say what he wanted you to and you began speaking directly, "I'm saying that the only reason life is considered to have an end is based on if you actually do something during it." You stayed quiet for a bit before letting out a heavy breath after some contemplation. "I don't want to do nothing." It didn't matter how many years passed, how old you are or how weak you are. If you still have time then you might as well live in it.

"Kuni, you might have existed a long time but have you properly lived? You act so humane and yet you deny any internal ties to humanity. Isn't it more like you're using my mortality as an excuse to forbid yourself from acknowledging your own denials?"

That, that was most definitely the last thing he wanted to hear. You having said you can't be here with him would have been bad, but somehow this was worse because he had his reality forced infront of him. It was humiliating in a way, to be exposed when you were always bare. You can see his face growing frustrated, he seemed as though he was trying to bite his tongue but you might've struck a nerve. "An excuse?" A degrading laugh erupted from his throat, "Are you serious? Why would I need an excuse? I don't need to be human in the first place, this has nothing to do with that. You're the one making up things and avoiding giving me an answer."

You were on the brink of leading to an argument and even you couldnt keep your head cool. You stand up in defense as you shoot back. "I'm not avoiding anything. I'll stay with you for as long as my lifespan allows it, but I cannot and will not tell you that I will stay forever."

There was an aching silence that followed. As though this was concrete, like this was just shattering. You didn't know what it was breaking, you didn't know if it was your relationship or him, but you had to try and fix it before it worsens.

"Kuni, I love you, I want you to be happy, not just now but onwards as well." Your gaze falls onto his hands. You want to reach out, but you cant bring yourself to out of fear he'd deny you. You know he might want you to, as a sign of.. anything, but you can't. "I don't want you to rely on me, I want you to be capable of accepting yourself and finding comfort within who you are."

"Well then, ...Who am I?" The wanderers head stays stuck to the ground as if if he keeps his sights on it it would open up and just, do something, swallow him, let him forget this, forget everything, Bury him deep in the dirt and have the roots of all life suffocate him. "What?"

"You said within who I am, so, who am I?"

You didn’t want to do this a second time, "Kuni-"

"Please," He pauses, releasing a shaky breath from the confines of his chest. "just answer."

"You're who you say you are. I won't define you."

He latches onto your wrist, pulling you to him, underneath his hat as his head beckons upwards and you finally get to see his face rid of that anger. Instead, it is replaced with a pleading look, almost desperate. "I want you to,"

"I need you to do it. I don't know how else I am meant to do it. I don't know who I am. I wasn't meant to have an identity, I'm not like you, I'm not a human." In a way, admitting that was a painful thing. No matter how alike to humans he was, he wasn't one. "You were made, I was built. You breathe the moment you are born, I taught myself to." The more he spoke you felt like he was trying to implement this difference into your mind, that if you couldn't promise him forever you should be irked by him.

"We are different, but you are still a person to me. Do you think that I've ever seen you as anything else? Do you think I want to leave you alone? I care for you, I do so much that it kills me. And I hate how if you asked something of me I'd give it to you so easily, but not this. I won't lie to you." It would've been an odd thing for you to say, but to you, the wanderer made you feel alive, it made all the previous events of your life pale in comparison, and you truly, felt alive. You don't know why but with this emotion came care and you want to continue to value him, to love him, even when you've passed.

"Our relationship doesn't matter, you just need to know that I love you." You yank his wrist and pull him into you as your other arm slips under his and around his back, holding him tightly as you rest your head in the coup of his neck. "I love you, Kuni. I love you, I love you, I love you." And with each time you repeated it you lifted your head to his neck, planting small kisses, hoping he can feel it, what you do.

The wanderer merely stood there, paralysed. He still wants the unreal fantasy of eternity. But, he finds himself caving to the warmth of what you were offering despite how bittersweet it. It was fulfilling despite the fact it reflects the temporary time you two had, but he no longer found his mind wandering off to then, to when you'd slip away from him. He could feel you. Hands slither to your back, pulling you deeper into him, so deep till there was no space between you two but he still wanted more. He wanted to be with you, just as one, to know all of you. And he was worried he wouldn't have enough time for that. But just for now, for this moment, he wants to listen to your voice, to feel your body temperature, and rest.

He simply leans in, and kisses your forehead, before tilting his head onto yours. This is fine, this is okay. He can live with this, for as long as he can have it.

This happened in 1632.

According to Evliya Çelebi, Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi attached a device resembling bird wings to himself and threw himself into the void from the Galata Tower in turbulent weather in 1632. He flew across the Bosphorus and landed in Doğancılar, Üsküdar, 3558 meters away!

He is the first person to fly in the world.

1632 - What was going on in America then?

In 1632, while many significant events were happening in America, one of the most important was the acceleration of the colonization movement. This year marked the establishment of the English colony of Massachusetts Bay Colony, which is considered a significant milestone in American history. Additionally, Spanish colonizers occupied the San Juan Pueblo in what is now the state of New Mexico, leading to one of the first major conflicts between American natives and European settlers.
