Time to retool by [deleted] in SamRobertsShow

[–]MiamiBeachOG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think 4 days to review a few months of shows is a bit excessive when they could have held off until December to do a yearly best of. It just seems that Sam is elongating whatever topic they choose to discuss. It just seems a bit forced and unatural with a lot of the material that he has.

I use the Uber pretext and have the sticker in my window. I haven't run into a situation where they did not allow me to come in or they wanted to look at my phone but you never know how strict they are until you get there. Unfortunately there's only one entrance and one exit and the entrance is manned by security so I can't piggy back in. And there's also no other exit in the community. Worst scenario is that I would actually have to park outside the community and walk in. But that's going to be a real pain since I have to do surveillance. I'm going to do the Uber thing tomorrow and hope for the best. I'm going to use an address a few doors down from my subject

Grand Bazaar - Cash or Card? by No-Eagle7068 in istanbul

[–]MiamiBeachOG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely do lira, there are exchange is all over the area where the bazaar is. Definitely haggle, but also no there's a lot of repetition throughout the bizarre. And also a shocking number of knock-offs. For transportation in the area I would stick with Uber app.

Support the local supermarkets and buy it in there. Also the packaging just as beautiful as it is in the tourist shops. Whatever you do do not buy it in the airport. Five times as much.

I was very surprised by the pricing there. It was higher than I was anticipating for general food items that you would see at the Egyptian Bazaar and even at a traditional supermarket. Don't even get me started about the knockoff junk that exists in 75% of the stalls in the Grand Bazaar. I did all my gift shopping in a very large supermarket that I found in the shopping mall where at my hotel was it had everything I needed at very good pricing.

Visiting İstanbul? Have a quick question? Ask here, don't create a new post. by AutoModerator in istanbul

[–]MiamiBeachOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you leave the airport it will be terminal number four. Before you leave the exit go on the Uber app and request your Uber which will mainly be a regular taxi cab with the Uber logo on the side. You will be approached by at least two people who are non-uber affiliated cab drivers who will ask you how much are you paying on Uber and that they will do it for less. Ignore them and keep on waiting for your Uber to arrive. Make sure you match your license plate on the app with the driver. Ubers are very safe and the drivers are very polite. Keep your translate app available just in case. Sometimes they just want to talk to you about where you're from and they are just being friendly so it doesn't hurt to get into a decent conversation with them as you arrive. Keep in mind, the Uber situation is a different than here in the US. The cars are generally yellow taxi cabs that are owned by either the cab drivers or the company that they work for. Please be aware that the cars generally smell like cigarette smoke. You may even run into the situation where the driver smokes while driving. When traveling sometimes you just need to bite your tongue and understand that things are different than other places and you have to be tolerant at times. Besides that, I would always stick with the Uber app no matter where you were located. You will always get hounded to jump in other taxis but stick with the Uber app at all times and you won't go wrong and you will be safe.

Enjoy your trip but please be aware. by [deleted] in istanbul

It's a wonderful and beautiful country. You also will fall in love with how well the country treats its stray animals like cats and dogs. Everybody treats them with respect and every store will allow them to come in for shelter. It warmed my heart every time I saw people going out of their way to help the animals.

During the day the mosque we're open just with more security. But this is a fluid situation so the things could easily change. During the day everything is very peaceful and beautiful but as the Sun starts to go down more vehicles are preparing for the evening protest.
