Despite the bad publicity, the media is feeding everyone at the minute, Istanbul really isn't any different to any other country that I've visited since the attacks started. It's a beautiful country with friendly, hospitable people.

So the one thing that really amazed me about Turkey was the fact it's actually split between Europe and Asia! Yes, I was shocked too. This great fact was brought to you by my good friend Robbie. There really is something surreal about sitting by the river on the Asia side eating amazing seafood, drinking Raki looking back at Europe. I know to some, this may not be that exciting it's the small things that amaze me.

My message is, don't lock yourself away because something "might" happen, get out live life, see the world and enjoy yourself. What will be, will be.
