Some of the best #istanbulviews are where you least expect them. From the roof of #istanbulmodernartmuseum.

It's another discounted Istanbul cat. This one's 60% off but from where? A leg, the tail, hmm, or maybe it's whiskers.

How you experience #Istanbul depends on who you are. Tourist, traveller, resident or local. #expatlife #livinginistanbul #travelmemoir I'd come as tourist & lived in Istanbul for year or so in the past so I thought I knew it all, until I moved here permanently... www.instagram.com/p/DIRuo-pv7DM/

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.

There are 9 construction sites in 1 block radius of my #istanbul home. #livinginistanbul #istanbullife After being away for 1 month, progress has been made. 2 buildings finished, 1 foundations dug, 1 completely knocked down, 4 ongoing, 1 empty block untouched. Noise & dirt continue. #urbanrenewal

If you follow me on Bluesky or elsewhere you’ll know my obsession with #electriccars. This is latest model I’ve spotted on #istanbulstreet. It’s a hire by hour one & I can’t wait to get my DL again to try it out. #istanbullife #livinginistanbul #expatlife #electrictransport @rentlee.app #rentleeapp

I have long been a #kadikoy girl so I was thrilled to be interviewed for our very own local magazine, #kadikoylife . #expatlife #livinginistanbul I'm sure my Turkish was less than perfect but Kadir Bey was charming & patient, making it a very pleasant experience. www.kadikoylife.com/istanbulun-b...

Had lunch with new friend from US then went to see #Tophane Kasri. I've often passed it on bus & thought it looked grubby but very pretty. Newly restored it's extremely elegant in quiet, understated sort of way. Doubt I'll ever see all #istanbul treasures, but I'll try! #expatlife #livinginistanbul

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

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

I loved the relaxed pose of this guy underneath the trees in Uskudar. It has a very Velvet Underground Waiting for a Friend feel to it don't you think?

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

On the hunt for matches in the supermarket (never found them) I came across these firelighters. #turkishsupermarket #livinginistanbul #istanbullife #bonga #bongodunyunu I don't know about you but the name really makes me giggle.
