My trip to Istanbul: in moving pictures

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

Ages ago (last December to be exact), Liebling and I went to Istanbul, Turkey. I took a slew of photos while there, some of which I’ve already shared on the blog. However, I also took a bit of video footage that I never managed to edit… until now.

It’s months late, but here’s a short video of me and Liebling’s stay in Istanbul. I apologize for the rough quality- I used my digital picture camera to film, and not a camcorder.

Anyway, enjoy!

  • I just read your profile. Seems like you are living my kind of life…

  • yay! Istanbul. I went there in 2007 and while I enjoyed it I also don't have particularly fond memories of Turkey. I was on this really strong medicine to kill parasites I had gotten while in India and I had a hard time finding food without gluten. I literally was starving. It was most unfortunate.

  • @bobbi- We are kindred spirits in travel! Are you based in Italy? Off to check out your blog!

    @Deidre- Oh no! I was actually pretty ill during that trip and the weather was crap as you could see! The only thing I could eat/stomach was the Turkish pancake and the continental breakfast served at our hotel… But Liebling tells me Turkish cuisine is delish.. 😉

  • great video. istanbul looks like so much fun. thanks for sharing.

  • I totally cracked up at the 'the boys are fit' comment 😉 We have those outdoor exercise machines in Seoul too, but you only ever see middle-aged people on them!!

  • Love the video! I'll have some video coming up in a few weeks. I didn't feel comfortable taking video in Istanbul. I was still getting over the shock of being stared down everywhere I went. 🙂 Most of the video is in Cappadocia and Ephesus.

  • Wonderful! You are an inspiration.

    Also, I don't judge you! I bite my nails too! When I'm nervous.

  • Very cool! Is that Norah Jones music you've chosen? I like how you've got little details in there like waving to the little girl and the smile of the kebab boy. Those are memories you'll keep forever.

  • ROTFL!!!!! Girl, how does L manage with u taking pics of him. I'mm yet to visit Turkey, was on my list two years ago, might need to reconsider.

    @Flights to Kathmandu: Thanks!

    @Naomi: I saw them in Seoul as well and thought they were too funny. They are in HK too!

    @Terri: Oh no! I didn't find that anyone was looking at me in Istanbul, strangely enough. But I'm sure your hair would attract a lot of attention! Can't wait to see your vids.

    @Hannah: Aww thanks! I just can't seem to stop biting my nails! It's awful.

    @Mil: Yes, that is Norah Jones singing! You've got a great ear! Putting the video together really made me realize what a great time I had.

    @kuesooM: I am soooo thankful that he is patient with me and my foolishness lol… Will be sure to report on Bali!
