The relevance of discombobulate mainly comes from a journey through the Grand Bazaar. There are so many alley ways, nooks and crannıes that its almost ımpossible not to get wonderfully lost! The whole place takes selling and haggling to a whole new level. Around every corner is a chance to part with your Lira (or Euro or dollars) for 'genuıne fake watches', any brand of clothing ever made, trinkets of unimaginable 'kitchness' and carpets and antiquities of stunning beauty and alleged rarity.
İstanbul is also at a stage where it is modernising so rapidly that there is a weird and intriging (although somewhat confusing) blend of old and new, east and west. İt is unlıke any other place İ have been and İ am lookıng forward to spendıng a few more days there at the end of my Middle Eastern adventure.
