PART III
reached the ancient istanbul
gosh, i can't believe that i am standing on the grounds of the Ottoman Turks!
about 1500 years old Eastern Orthodox church cum mosque in 1493 cum museum in 1935
the history lesson which was began in the bus continued here.
the architecture is super amazing especially the dome as it was not made with our high-technology but with hard, manual work.
fyi : each dome must be supported by four pillars to hold its heavy weight.
inside St. Sophia.
this was where the Muslims washed themselves before entering the mosque to pray
where they stored the oil for candles
after i made my wish
turkey's krispy kreme
and this is how you ahem, hump the ladybug
