I'm now back home in London, and still haven't posted anything about Jerusalem. My time there was packed with activity, and I'll recount all the details soon. In the meantime here are some pictures from my few hours in Istanbul:
The Shysters/Good Samaritans who made sure I saw Istanbul.

Roast corn, with Sultan Ahmet in the background.
McDonald's. Front yard being cleaned, could be a Saturday night in any Western European city.
The almighty Starbucks.
Klodfarer Street, where I stayed. Marseille anyone?
