After visiting the exhibition Matter+Light II at Bourosan Music House (highly recommended, on for only 2 more days) we discovered HiC, a very original interior design shop only a couple of minutes away from there… Find colorful Kilims, fun chairs and boxes, shelves and anything to spice up your apartment. Over in the old city, Sulthanamet we wondered the streets only to arrive in tourist hell, which the Grand Bazaar is the absolute epitome of. If you want to shop we highly recommend the Spice Market, or Egyptian Bazaar instead. Here you will find everything you were expecting to buy in Istanbul just as much, it’s just less of a hassle. Divan is a great little shop if you are looking for jewelry, scarves and caftans. Delicious Black Cod at Zuma, Rainbow Arabia gig at Babylon and sleepy time…

Read moreIstanbul Biennal Day 1
Yesterday a dinner with view at 360 Istanbul, a classic Istanbul-roof terrace-restaurant. The atmosphere was great, the food a little less…Our day1 started with a coffee at Galata Kulesi and a walk down to the shore of the Bosforus next to Istanbul Modern at Antrop No. 5, for a first peek at the Biennal. An exhibition undoubtably curated with the greatest detail… very intellectual but unfortunately very little creative. However, it is too early to jump to conclusions!Lunch at Pandeli in the Sulthanahmet Spice Market left us sadly nauseated so we ended up stuffing ourselves with delicious Turkish Delights and Baklava whilst walking through the Bazaar. Here we also found some very well made handbags at Zagor Bag’s, this may be slightly incorrect but let’s be honest who can afford a new Balenciaga every season? A last stop at Rodeo Gallery (Material by Iman Issa), a couple of great boutiques and vintage shops on the way and finally back to the hotel!
