Here's a test for all you Istanbullites. (or is it Istanbullians, Istanbullese...)
Where in Istanbul are these places?
Easy one to start with (No it's not Beşiktaş)
And this one
Not sure? Here's another clue!
How about this one
A final teaser

What is the last thing? Kalemburgaz?  |

Big Drawers is right, but not Atasehir.
How about these two as well.

^I had a disagreement with a student about this morning istanbullu is Turkish not English. I've just tried to search on dictionary.com and it isn't recognised.
It came up because I am reading Istanbul at the moment(orhan Pamuk) and he, or rather the translator, uses the word on a regular basis. |
