The document summarizes the author's travels in Istanbul over two days. On the first day, they took public transit to Ortakoy on the European side of the Bosphorus, where they enjoyed local foods like potatoes and waffles with views of the water and bridge. They then walked through shops and a large park to Yildiz Palace Museum. The second day, their landlord gave them a walking tour through their neighborhood, the Grand Bazaar, Old Book Bazaar, Istanbul University, and the magnificent Suleymaniye Mosque. They had a simple lunch with the landlord's friend and ended the day at the Spice Market.
