We were wandering around Istanbul this evening looking for some cheap beer as everything at the hotel is like 12 lira or something stupid; this is no easy feat given that it is Ramadan and all of the streets are poorly lit at best. We finally found a little grocer that had tons of beer, loads of selection and rock bottom prices. I had Turkish lira on me so I bought the beer and I guess being 'scantily' clad during Ramadan means free stuff cause the shop keeper kept smiling at me and giving me free gum, good deal! (Scantily clad meant shorts and a spaghetti strap top as compared to the veiled women outside of the shop, obviously not in the market for beer!)

This is the best Ramadan ever!
