Where in the world is....

So as I child I had a computer with hightech games like Oregan Trail, Pacman and Math Blaster.  But my favorite was Carmen Sandiego with her red hat.  Anyhow, what I remember from that game, other than the red hat, was that Carmen was often to be found in Istanbul (pronounced more like Is-tan-bul with each syllable clearly separated by computer voice).  And now I am here in Is-tan-bul...I am Carmen Sandiego.

The other thing from later in my life was the period where I only bought Mavi Jeans circa grade 10.  I loved my molly style mavi jeans.  And I remember reading the tag Made In Turkey and thinking if I went to Turkey I bet I could get these jeans pretty cheap.  And so how pleased was I to walk down the main shopping street last night and see not one, but two Mavi stores.  I have not checked the prices, but when I do, you will be the first to know.
