The Grand Bazaar, Istanbul

The building is so old and amazing. I only bought 2 leather cushions, one teal green, the other lime green. I didn't bargain with the shop owner, I just stood there until he got to the price I wanted to pay. Nothing at the Grand Bazaar is really a bargain, they just start very high and then come down to the price you would pay at any of the tourist shops around Istanbul. 
Had coffee here and rice pudding at a restaurant here, mmm! Nice.
In the one picture you will see the blue lucky eyes, it is in the flooring in front of a shop, this protects you from all evil. You will find it everywhere in Istanbul.
