Martina Hingis look-alike at the Galleria

I snapped this picture, without the girl knowing. I'm hoping she wouldn't mind if I posted this here. She looked awfully like Martina Hingis, so I just took this picture on impulse.

Let me know if you agree or disagree.

Morning walk at the Bosphorus

Breakfast on the Hotel Terrace

That's the view from the hotel terrace. I am in the last room in the block you see in the picture, so my room affords a breath-takingly beautiful view. I could stay here for a loooooong time






And this is me

My room in Turkey

I am in Turkey today. Here for official work and I'm staying at the Çinar Hotel Istanbul.

As you can guess from the text above, I'm a bit tired. Flew from Karachi at 0300 (and I left home around 2330 to be there by 0000). The flight time is 5 hours and 40 minutes. Since Turkey is 2 hours behind Pakistan, I got here by 0640 local time. After going through passport control and customs, I took a cab (who ranted all the way to the hotel for God knows what - I can imagine that the trip being small didn't get him enough fare).

Checked into the hotel and here's a pic of my room.



The room doesn't give much to talk about. However, the view is to die for. I'm sure you'll be expecting pictures. Low quality yet again, since they're all taken from the cell phone cam. Will post pictures from a good camera soon.

Dubai Trip

I took yet another trip to Dubai, but my camera had just died on me before I left so I was unable to take any good pictures. I took just a few from my cellphone camera, and the usable ones will be posted here shortly.
