    Never did I expect to see whirling dervishes in a mall under black light. That's the juice, Virginia.

    Great video - brought back many happy memories of one of the most fascinating cities on the planet....and a ride with Ihsan (aka The World's Best Taxi Driver) is an experience and a half. Dinner in any of the meyhanes in Nevizade Sokak is fun, as is having dinner at Kumkapi (my favourite there was Kalamar)...if you go, enjOy!!!

    That was a fabulous look at Istanbul. I never, ever, ever, ever even thought about going to Istanbul until I saw this video. It was informative and definitely gave me the feel of the place. You would have gotten a four rating from me but that dancing taxi driver put me over the top! THAT WAS HILARIOUS! I'd go there just to see him.
