Alternative travelling tips about Istanbul, Turkey from an insider's point of view; because you know you are not done when you see all the tourist attractions when you travel to a new city.
I will be mostly posting about tips on alternative, non-touristy places, best restaurants, pubs, bars, clubs and events, street art, the secret places as well as tell you the easiest way to do things in Istanbul but I will also add the must-see tourist attractions cause they are kinda awesome.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need a tip, or you don't know what to do, or you don't know which bus to take; ANYTHING! I can even help you to plan your days in Istanbul if I have time (and also if you are nice enough).
Feel free to submit your suggestions via the suggest thing, but please make sure that they are interesting enough.

The pub quiz is back on track Thursday, April 26th at our lovely, new, rooftop venue: Funky Teras.
Joe and Brian will be the evening’s quizmasters, and they are super awesome and hilarious.
It’d be great to get a big turnout to show the venue what we can offer him, so please share the event with your friends and get the word out!
Facebook event thingy:

Directions to Funky:
Walking down Istiklal from Taksim, turn left at United Colors of Benetton. Take the first right and then take your first left (If you hit Thales, you’ve gone too far). The building is on the right and Funky is all the way at the top.
Istiklal Caddesi, Hasnun Galip Sokak, Pembe Çıkmazı No:2 Kat: 4

As I mentioned earlier, one of the loveliest streets in Istanbul with good restaurants and cafés. Should be added to the places to visit while you are in Istanbul.

A cat fell asleep in my lap at the Haiga Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey.
I will update with more pictures of me petting stray cats in Turkey (there were like seven or eight I think).
there are sure a lot of stray cats in Istanbul, its so heartwarming to see that everyone spend a few minutes to pet or feed them :]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0dtnrBOMI1rnt3ino1_500.jpg)
