#istanbullife Think every #ikea comes in identical put together yourself kit + Allan key? Last time I checked IKEA in my hometown of Sydney didn't have prayer room, complete with ablutions basin, complimentary worrybeads to use & reminder not to enter in shoes! #lisamorrowwriter

I went to buy some bread at my local shopping street here in #goztepeistanbul & suddenly found myself in Paris. Well that'd be the case if I lived in France rather than #livinginistanbul #Turkey. Nonetheless I like their use of French to stand out from the crowd! #istanbullife

İstanbul gecelerinde bazen en güzel sohbetler plansız başlar.

I got a shock when I went into my local Şok supermarket in Istanbul the other day. They've gone all coffee hipster on me. Double espresso anyone? I'll have two at those prices! #livinginistanbul #istanbullife #lisamorrowwriter #soksupermarkt #ilovecoffee

No, this isn't an electricity blueprint, it's the Istanbul Şehir Hatlari, the Istanbul City Ferry lines route map. #ferries #istanbulferries @sehir_hatlari #istanbullife #lisamorrowwriter Impressive, isn't it?

In Turkey olives and pickles aren’t just food, they’re art. #ilovepickles #lisamorrowwriter #istanbullife #turkishfood

I love my adopted city but some days I think Istanbul is a parking lot. This is a pavement with a narrow road in the middle but this being Istanbul, pedestrians have few if any rights. #citylife #istanbullife #lisamorrowwriter #kadikoystreets

My husband loves to drink #milk & definitely needs calcium to keep his bones strong because bottle caps are getting harder & harder to remove. #istanbullife #livinginistanbul #istanbullife He had to use wrench to get it open so I don't think I'll be using this brand again.

Packaging Turkish style. I particularly like the little masking tape handles on each corner. Ingenious, aren't they? Plus I love the man in the background watching me and probably wondering why is she photographing that! #istanbullife #livinginistanbul #lisamorrowwriter

Sometimes Istanbul's history is hidden in plain sight, like this stairwell of Istiklal Caddesi. I love the Escher like quality, don't you? #marmaraliyim1883 #istiklalcaddesi #istanbullife #istanbularchitecture

There's so much musical talent in #Istanbul & one place to hear it is in #trainstations. #peratrio are my latest find. #streetmusicians #buskers #istanbullife

Nothing lifts my spirits more than watching colour of sky over #Istanbul change at end of day discovering new neighbourhoods & chatting with the Turkish people I come across, knowing I can do it all again tomorrow.

Don't forget to follow me to discover the extraordinary everyday of #istanbullife.
