hi there ; yes istanbul is expanding but they somehow hang on to the traditional architect and it actually does blend and much of the architect along the boshorus remains . there is more photos of the wedding at http://www.facebook.com/people/Brian-Underdown/61... should be viewable if not i may create an album on here .

wow did anyone see what happened to that man tonight Thursday 8th October ,this program has it all !

i know it is heartbreaking I watched it last night where the woman was permantly in tears throughout and they even increased the chances of 500,000 ytl upto six i think . in the end she walked away with 350ytl i think . there is no pattern to the winning of it it is a lottery !! . Also i watched other night the guy from Besiktas market was totally broken ,it is really moving sometimes ,just shows you how money can effect us emotionally. it is like have one hand on the gold but you need two hands on it to own it. ill be watching tonight. :) brian.....

I know it is one of those places you can take photography all year round and still find interesting stuff.

it is fun and i just tell you how i see it ,to me it is good harmless tv just good natured humour . :D

ol come on it is a good show B) , has a non turkish born person and just having moved here I look for things that i can relate too , I enjoy it and I appreciate it may not be everyones taste ,but I just like the what we call open banter in the programme ,has for it ending I have no I dea ,I guess when the viewing figures drop out of the bottom . and the people on the panel are just non celebs which I like ,I cant stand fake people making out there in touch with the city .anyway thanks for the view one day I hope my turkish is fluent enough to apply for it !! cok sal ...brian

still I said she should have took the bankers offer :p
