I hope to go myself one day. Friends of mine went in college and said it was amazing and full of history.
Don’t miss Hagia Sophia or a sail on the Bosphorus. Females mentioned to be careful though about going out alone as an unescorted woman. Male behavoir is not the same as in the USA there.
I’ve been to Cairo which is a fantastic trip when paired with Valley of the Kings or Alexandria.
ugh so i tried to get my free credit report, went thru the gazillion questions and stuff, only to end up with this:

Jessie – I was only in Istanbul for a couple of days and did the usual and predictable tourist stuff (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc) but enjoyed the visit. It was back when I was studying in Europe and I took a trip to Greece and Turkey for Christmas break. When I was in Turkey I ran into this really sexy French girl at a hostel in the town near the ruins of Ephesus. We totally hit it off but she was getting on a bus to go to the next town so she told me she would look me up at my hotel in Istanbul a few days later. When I got to my hotel they told me “oh you’re Mr. so and so – there was a woman here insisting that you are a guest at the hotel, but we didn’t have a record of you so we said no you aren’t and she went away.” Turns out the room was in the name of the guy I was traveling with.
“This is giving me an idea. My next driving vacation is going to consist of a tour of big manufacturing facilities where they let in the public for tours and / or I have contacts and can get myself in. That would just completely rule. ”
L, why not go to Detroit? You can let yourself in everywhere, altho you may want to carry a gun 🙂
Legion, sad story! Poor girl thought you ditched her. Some other dude picked up the pieces and she probably swore off Asian guys.

Call them and ask them.
Lech, how did you “supplement” for that costing you a hot encounter with the girl?

A semiconductor clean room is also an awesome tour.

There’s a lot of interesting industrial stuff in office buildings these days… I could get you a tour of a couple.
Corning Glassworks was a cool tour, and not far.
