BACK | ----DAY FIFTEEN September 21, 2001
I picked up my rug from the Grand Bazaar this morning and sat by the main gate with a tea to soak in my last taste of Istanbul, but I’m tired and ready to settle for a little while. How much longer I’ll stay in London however is still undecided. To add to all my other thoughts, Sydney seems a damn sight safer a place to live. Maybe I should go back and start setting up a life again. I’ve seen and done a lot the last year but nothing has really changed my direction. Anyway, add Turkey to the list of countries I’ve visited. A fascinating place, but perhaps I wasn’t in the best state for travelling. I’ll come back again one day and see more. Allaha izmaladik!!

I’m writing from Istanbul airport, where I’m relieved to see that security seems to be tight—all luggage is being x-rayed before entrance to the terminal, and there are security guards with dogs wandering around. I’m about three hours early for my flight.
