I think the multi storey carpark just off Istiklal is the ugliest and most women unfriendly place I have seen in Ist. At night it is badly lit with pools of stagnant water in the corners which are urine stained. The concrete ceilings are low and the air is stifling.

The 'DENIZ IŞLETMEŞI' on Kennady Cad next to Karakoy is a hugh eye soar that blocks off some of the best views of the city.

The Plazar Hotel that towers over the rest of Maslak, and hill coming up from Karakoy.

There some right knackered old things off Taksim near that Cartoon hotel.

I heard about a shooting in that hotel the other day. It's okay, the guy survived, although he did try to drink a glass of water and lttile spurts of water came out the gun holes in his body like little fountains.

But didn't the guy die after a cat dropped a piano on his head? Or did he just spring back like an accordian?

It's not a building but the huge big crater between metro city and polat tower in 1. Levent. It's going to be an upmarket shopping centre called Canyon. It's the biggest mess around.

TG's little flat turned into a ''training institute'' off Istiklal. The main room is tiny and there is no heating worth talking about.

It is freezing in the winter and trying to watch his dip videos on a 14 inch TV was murder.
