Ayakkabı boyama

One can (and, too often, does) complain about the lack of things in Istanbul--favorite foods, easily accessible parks and beaches, a second type of beer--but one cannot complain about being able to get a nice shoe shine for $1.62 while watching ferries ply the waters of the Golden Horn and the sun set on the Galata Tower.

I want candying

I can't believe it's taken me this long to notice that the sign on the end of the snack aisle at Carrefour, yabancıköy's favorite supermarket, reads:

chocolates
candying
chewy
Hmm, it's getting close to happy hour... I think I may be more in the market for something from the "salty" and "boozing" aisles...
