ISTANBUL!
I am in Istanbul, Turkey. I am not sure if a city can get any more awesome. This city is amazing. I dont have much time. I am off to another part of Turkey tomorrow. I met two men tonight. One from Iran, and another from Iraq. Two of the nicest men I have met. We really are screwed up by the news, and our own world view. They really are not so different. It was funny one man asked where I was from and I said America. He said uh oh, this guy is from Iran! and he put his hands between us like to spot a fight, and I just smiled and I said he is my friend not my enemy! and we shook hands! We smiled and laughed about our countries animosity towards each other. The world is full of surprises.
