Nearly Istanbul

.

I am in Istanbul, for an 18 hour stopover before going home. Istanbul seems nice but, but....

But I am sleepy. The route home through Istanbul, Bangkok and finally Kuala Lumpur entails a total travelling time of 36 hours. Plus the fact that when I boarded the flight last night, I have been awake for more than 24 hours, going to the supply base the whole day and keeping some visitors from home company.

I need to sleep but this danged internet enables me to access the ofice email anywhere anytime and there are things and issues to solve and think about. The internet is a bane at times. That's it, I'm off to bed for a few hours and when I wake up and if there is enough time, I'll take a walk around this city. It is supposed to be beautiful..... we'll see....

I need a new drug...

Update. Well, we did see. I went to the Old Bazaar, bought two leather jackets, a long one for Nazzim since he mentioned he wanted yang "panjang". Baby lamb. Soft. The regulation T-shirts and keychains for the children, apple tea, something Turkish and woven and beautiful for Lina, I don't really know what it is but it is beautiful. Trust me. And other bits and pieces. I am ready to go home... Now, just left to tell Sofia that I'll get her jacket later. Went to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. To many hustlers there. They readily guess my nationality but many thought I'm Indonesian, Japanese or Korean. Please lah...
