Then I fell asleep in her arms. That was happiness then. - Harold Brodkey |

istambul is truly one of the sexiest city in the world: it's a shame it's not as known as paris or rome.

Thanks for accommodating my wish, Galatia. Is that the Seraglio mentioned in one of Mozart's musical compositions? Istanbul is one of the gems of the world.
