2 videos

These are 2 videos. One is a typical midday street scene. This is just off the main road from Taksim where I typically take my lunch. You can hear the call to prayer in the background.

The other is us haggling a price for bicycles, we ended up not buying. One of the students cannot ride bike. He tries a two-seat with one of the other students but it's not working.

Almost everything on the street in Istanbul comes with some sort of negotiation. I'm fortunate to be with Turkish speaking friends. Street vendors, especially, will take advantage of you if they think they can. The worst is the Grand Bazaar.
