Olive, anyone?


One of the many reasons Istanbul is so interesting is it's use of merchandise districts. One street sells nothing but lamps. Another sells only rugs. And another will be plumbing supplies or veggies or meat, or in this case, olives. As long as you know where the particular area is that sells what you need, you can check 10 different stores all on one block to find the best one to suit your need.

I love your picture! Its cool how the olives seem to be laid out with such care... here they just throw olives into plastic tubs and sell them on the side of the street!
