It is beautiful and Alex Webb seems totally sincere about his interest in the city and it shows in his photographs. Will this be on the podcast? -Lara

THIS ESSAY HAS LOTS OF MISSING POINTS. IT HAS REALLY BAD INFLUENCE ON TOURISTS. IT IS NOT PREPARED OBJECTIVELY. IT ONLY SHOWS THE POOR SIDE OF THE CITY. IF YOU WANT TO NAME IT "CITY OF A HUNDRED NAMES" YOU SHOULD HAVE SHOWN THE HUNDRED NAMES NOT THE ONLY NAME. AS INDICATED BELOW WHERE IS THE FACE OF ISTANBUL?

very good work, I really liked it. interesting thing is; you have captured one of the most beloved but not well known melody of the Turkish movies.
