I like Istanbul

Istanbul is great because the people there are so nice. Because they say "Good morning" (in English) and "Good night" (in English) and "Good evening" (in English). And I like that the people also give you free stuff (like food and Evil Eyes and Turkish Delights).

Istanbul

Turkey is really fun because there are so many cats. We saw many cats. People there were very nice, so we had a lot of fun. I liked that the people who owned restaurants would come up and say "Would you like to see our menu? Would you like to eat here?" and other stuff. In Turkey we saw birds, too, and fed them.
