Today was my last day in Istanbul, Turkey, and I had arranged to me Erdem, who goes by the nick 'esteam' on the forum. I took the ferry across the Bosporus as instructed, and Erdem was there to meet me. Thanks to him, I had a guided car tour of the Asian side of Istanbul, a great breakfast, a tour of his shop and neighborhood, and a visit to a local mosque for Friday prayers.

Here's the two of us at the restaurant:

And his beautiful collection of models:

Bad picture but great workmanship.

Erdem is something of a local celebrity as a comedy radio host here in Instanbul. The fellow at whose apartment I was staying is a big fan of his.
 
Hello Kirk,

Pleasure to welcome you here. Photos are very nice. Thank you for your kind words.

Best regards.

Erdem
 
kvom,

I'm jealous. Turkey is one of those places on my list I want to see before I die, very near the top. Man, lots of history there.

Glad you had a good time. Hope you had plenty of opportunity for sight-seeing.

Erdem, thanks for taking care of one of our own.
 
Hi Kevin,

Don't be jealous. Just come here and lets go to see all these history together. I'll be very happy to see all of our members here.

Regards

Erdem
