Istanbul - Grand Bazaar
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is a covered area of shops, with many streets. This is an interior view. Perhaps it was the world's first shopping mall. :-)
I bought a cane here. I thought I needed one, but it turned out that I did not. I still have the cane, and use it from time to time. It seemed to me that the seller was offended that I paid what he asked, and did not bargain. What he asked was the equivalent of 55 cents U.S., and I wanted to get on with my exploration of Istanbul. My time was important on this trip. I crowded a lot of sightseeing into three full days in Istanbul. This photo is "geotagged."
