The wily spoon vendor calmly took the priceless gem, which was later purchased by a minister in the market. Diamond of the Spoon Maker Old Palace in Istanbul These rooms are the various exhibition rooms of the Third Courtyard. No one explains, no one can take pictures, just a quick tour. There is a passage next to the Istanbul Treasure Room in the Old Palace Exhibition Room leading to the Fourth Courtyard.

The Fourth Courtyard is the private palace of the Sultan and his family in the deepest part of Topkapi Palace, which includes some pavilions, palaces, gardens, etc. The Fourth Courtyard was originally part of the Third Courtyard, and modern scholars distinguished it. When entering the Fourth Courtyard, the sky was overcast and raindrops fell heavily. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were already in a bad mood.

We still need to find a place to take shelter from the rain. Director Gu didn't want Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to walk around any more, and didn't tell them what places were worth seeing. She just asked them to sit by the sea and then leave on time. She really treated Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi as old ladies who had never been abroad.

The Fourth Courtyard, Old Palace of Istanbul The Fourth Courtyard, Old Palace of Istanbul Mustafa Pasha Pavilion, Old Palace of Istanbul Sofa Mosque, Old Palace of Istanbul Yun Luo stood by the sea of ​​the Fourth Courtyard, facing the dark clouds and tear-like raindrops, and thought to himself: The sky of Istanbul is crying for Zhou Xiken.

At this time, Ding Ding Cat suddenly said: God also feels unfair and is crying for Zhou Xiken. This child often speaks Yunluo's inner thoughts when it is unexpected. Hey! Everyone feels the same way. Zhou Xiken's departure and Gu Dao's worldliness cast a shadow on Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's entire journey.

For Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, this was just the last half day in Turkey, but for Zhou Xiken, he lost his job for Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. Ding Ding Cat said that Zhou Xiken left the hotel after 3 am, and before leaving, he said lightly: Too kind.

Meimei used to be a tour guide in China. She said that good tour guides don’t stay in the same job for long. Travel agencies hope that tour guides can guide tourists to spend as much as possible and make more money for the travel agencies. Good tour guides who can’t do this will eventually be eliminated. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi went to four shopping spots on this trip, but they basically didn’t buy anything. Zhou Xiken took Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to so many attractions outside the itinerary.

I guess the boss knew it a long time ago. Not entering the old palace yesterday should be the boss's excuse. Ding Ding Cat said that Zhou Xiken is a scholarly talent and it doesn't matter if he doesn't work as a tour guide. Ding Ding Cat has become a good friend of Zhou Xiken. He wants to learn more from Zhou Xiken and strongly persuades Zhou Xiken to become a teacher in China, and it is best to be a foreign teacher. Because the salary of college teachers is too low.

Yunluo said that if all the good tour guides left and those who stayed cheated tourists, there would be even fewer people traveling in groups. Yunluo mostly traveled on his own in China. If this cycle continues, can travel agencies continue to operate? Good tour guides should stay. Istanbul's sky is crying. In the distance of the old palace is the Eurasian Continental Bridge. In the wind and rain, it has lost its former majesty.

The Bosphorus Strait had lost its charm of yesterday, and every scene and object in the Golden Horn was mourning for Zhou Xiken. There was a soaring seabird nearby, flying in the wind and rain. Yun Luo suddenly thought of Gorky's "The Seagull": this sensitive spirit had long heard the fatigue from the wrath of thunder, and it firmly believed that dark clouds could not cover the sun.

——Yes, it can't be covered! ...This is the brave petrel, flying proudly on the roaring sea, in the midst of lightning; this is the prophet of victory shouting - let the storm come even more violently! Ding Ding Cat is right, Zhou Xiken is 28 years old this year, he will not be defeated by the wind and rain, he will fight in the storms of life and will have a bright future.

This is the wish of Yunluo and Nalanshiqi. The sky of Istanbul is crying. The visit to the old palace was rough. We didn't visit many places, and the gathering time came. I didn't feel like arguing with Gu Dao, so I just followed him silently. The sisters kept reviewing on the way. Nimi was so angry that she complained to everyone.

She didn't listen to instructions, had no sense of time, and said that she would learn a foreign language well and travel by herself next time. Yunluo said, OK, if you learn a foreign language well, Yunluo can travel with you by yourself. Of course, this was just an angry remark, and after returning, she still discussed going to Greece with Yunluo. Everyone was in a heavy mood, for Zhou Xiken, and for today's failed tour of the old palace.

Two more things happened after leaving the old palace. The first was that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi needed to give Zhou Xiken a score, and Director Gu asked Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to fill it out in the car and hand it in when they arrived at the Grand Bazaar. Yunluo objected because she hadn't thought of the wording well, and asked to hand it in later. The second thing was that Director Gu asked Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi if they were going to Taksim Square and Istiklal Road.

At this time, everyone lost interest and said they would not go. If it was Zhou Xiken, he would never ask this question. He strictly followed the itinerary. It seems that the Turkish boss also has two standards. Now he is not afraid that Chinese tourists will be dissatisfied and not get paid. This is also the first time that Yunluo gave up the attractions in the itinerary. When Yunluo was in the old palace, he told Gu Dao that Zhou Xiken was very good.

However, Istanbul's traffic was congested and the waiting time at the new palace was too long, which resulted in not entering the old palace yesterday. This had nothing to do with Zhou Xiken. Director Gu originally thought that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were dissatisfied with Zhou Xiken, and was surprised after hearing this. Later, she told the sisters that the driver, Mohammed, was the boss's uncle, and Zhou Xiken might have annoyed the driver yesterday, which led to this result.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi analyzed that it might be because Zhou Xiken changed the itinerary to the Old Palace three times for Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. Something that shouldn't have happened happened. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi just wanted to help Zhou Xiken as much as possible. Everyone was thinking about what language to use to achieve the best effect. The last attraction was shopping in the Grand Bazaar.

Street view Istanbul Grand Bazaar, also known as the Grand Bazaar, is not far from the Old Palace and is a must-see for tourists to Istanbul. Built in 1461, the Grand Bazaar covers an area of ​​300,000 square meters and is the largest indoor bazaar in the world. The Grand Bazaar has more than 20 exits, more than 20 streets, and about 5,000 shops, most of which sell Turkish national handicrafts.

Guide Gu took Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to Gate 1, set a meeting time, and immediately said that she liked a piece of jewelry and wanted to buy it, and then disappeared in a flash. If it was Zhou Xiken, he would definitely accompany them throughout the whole process. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi had no guide. Now they can only wander around aimlessly. Grand Bazaar Istanbul Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi entered from Gate 1, this street is the famous Gold Street.

The glass display case was filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, which were very expensive. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi tried to inquire about the market in several stores with slightly lower prices. When the boss saw that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were not the ones who wanted to buy, he simply said "thank you" and gestured to the door. The Istanbul black tea tray in the Grand Bazaar was quite beautiful. The price was not expensive, but it was not easy to carry.

I didn't buy it, and now I think about it, I regret it a little. Some sisters bought Turkish tea sets, which were not expensive, 4 liras per set (a small plate and a small cup). Black tea tray Istanbul Grand Bazaar Based on experience, things on the Golden Street must be expensive, so we decided to turn into the small street. At this time, everyone thought of Zhou Xiken again. If he was there, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi would not worry about getting lost.

Grand Bazaar Istanbul is not to be lost. First find a "signpost" to turn. This small house is on Golden Street. Take a photo and save it as a signpost. If you can't find the way back, you can use it to ask for directions. Haha! Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's signpost Istanbul Grand Bazaar Turn left at the "signpost", walk past a place with four pillars, and then turn right. Things are much cheaper.

The guide said that bargaining starts at 70% off, so I tried it. It didn't work. Later on the second or third street to the right in Grand Bazaar Istanbul, I found a shop selling decorative porcelain plates. The price was cheaper than that in the Golden Street and the workmanship was better. I chose an Izni red one, which has Turkish characteristics, as a souvenir. I didn't plan to buy scarves or anything like that.

But there is a silk scarf shop on that side street with very cheap prices, with clear prices (no bargaining), about lira per scarf. I bought a few scarves as gifts for relatives and friends, but after returning home I felt that I didn't buy enough and they were not enough. The boss looked like an Israeli and was very good at business. Grand Bazaar Istanbul Tobacco Accessories Istanbul Grand Bazaar is at the entrance of the Grand Bazaar.

As soon as Director Gu saw Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, he began to promote the diamond ring she bought, which had 5 small diamonds. It weighed 1 carat and cost 13,000 yuan. Yunluo was a little confused. She already had a ring that looked like 3 small diamonds on her hand, so why did she buy a similar one and wear them side by side.

And this was the most she had spoken to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi since today. Yunluo told her that many people on the bus had been to South Africa, where a 0.9 carat whole diamond only cost 18,000. She was speechless. Oh, oh, who knows what this shiny thing is, diamond or glass?

After leaving the Grand Bazaar, Director Gu took Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to a Turkish restaurant not far from the Galata Bridge for lunch. If Zhou Xiken was here, they would definitely have a Chinese meal today. Before lunch, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi wrote a review for Zhou Xiken and gave it to Director Gu. The lunch at this restaurant was particularly unpalatable, whether it was the soup before the meal, the rice or the dishes.

It was too salty to swallow. The restaurant started selling mineral water to Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi and did not allow them to eat the food they brought. They just ate a few slices of bread and left. This was the worst meal Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi had in Turkey. No wonder Director Gu asked Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to hand in their comments before lunch.

This restaurant is right next to this section of the ancient city wall, not far from the New Mosque and the Galata Bridge. In fact, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi passed by the Galata Bridge, and it was very convenient to dine under the bridge, but Zhou Xiken was not there today. Farewell to Istanbul's Yuncai Near the Galata Bridge After getting on the bus, the guide began to read the comments written by Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to Zhou Xiken.

Everyone gave Zhou Xiken all "excellent" reviews (ignoring their unfamiliarity with Turkish food). After reading the first few, she said, "It's so well written." The last one was written by Yun Luo. She put it down immediately after reading it. I wonder if she has ever received such a review. Because of the time difference, getting up early is not a difficult task.

The front desk helped to call a taxi, and it arrived in less than a minute. At 5:30 in the morning, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi stood at Ataturk Airport again. There are many coffee and bakery shops in the airport, which Yunluo likes. There is also the friendly Starbucks. Sitting in the terminal, drinking a cup of hot coffee, these leisurely moments in the busy travel are very comfortable.

The sky was just getting bright outside the window. The plane took off on time and landed on time. After leaving Malatya Airport, I saw the Havas bus parked at the door. I got on the bus and told the waiter that Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi should get off at Yenicamisquare. The waiter didn't show any suspicious expression on his face, and I felt relieved.

In fact, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were not sure how to find Kemal before the trip, so they were always worried. In less than 10 minutes, the car started. All the way from the desolate place to the bustling city center, Yunluo held the camera and took pictures through the car window with a fresh feeling.

The exterior of Malatya Airport. I think this kind of airport has a practical and simple design. What I saw along the way was sudden. The waiter called Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi and said that we had arrived. After getting off the car, I was inevitably stunned - where is this place, how to get there? I immediately grabbed a pedestrian and asked him but to no avail.

Then they saw two life-saving straws, a man and a woman, not far away - the police. After an awkward conversation, they understood where Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were going. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi also understood that they could just walk in the direction they pointed. So they took big steps forward.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Just after taking two steps, I heard a call from behind. The police uncle pointed at their police car and asked, "What? Are they sending Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi?" That was great. He didn't hesitate at all and quickly stuffed himself and his luggage into the car. It wasn't too far, just one block away.

But I must thank the police uncle for his enthusiasm. We took a group photo first, and then distributed small gifts. The police uncle and aunt looked very happy. It was a complete win-win situation, haha! The place where I got off the bus reminded me of Kathmandu for some reason. When I asked for directions... As expected, this was consistent with the description in the guide, an inonu statue.

The building behind the statue is the City Hall. Go in from the road on the right side of the building, and you will see a tree-lined area with the word Tourisminformation written on it. Haha. There is no suspense at this point. As long as Kemal is there, you will definitely catch him. Going further in, you will find the VIP Cafe Tea Garden.

When Kemal saw the backpack, he knew that he was looking for him. When they saw that Yunluo and Nalanshiqi knew that they were looking for him, Yunluo and Nalanshiqi knew that he was Kemal. The two hands were tightly clasped together... Let's summarize it again with the photo. Inonu statue. Students who go there should sit on the right side of the Havas bus so that they can easily see the statue.

Actually, you can show this photo to the attendant in the car. It would be best if you were asked to park here. From the location in the photo, walk forward, turn left at the blue building, and enter the next photo. Do you see the yellow sign not far ahead along the road? It says tourisminformation. Just turn in from here.

Seeing this sign, the tea garden on the left is where Kemal worked. What a working environment! I'll give Uncle Kemal a separate post. To show my remembrance, I'll talk about Kemal and how I got in touch with him. Kemal is a celebrity, and you can find his name on lonelypla.

Almost all tourists who go to Rentou Mountain from Malatya will choose to participate in the sunset and sunrise day tour organized by Guneshotel (the nearest inn to the top of Rentou Mountain). Kemal is the contact person and service specialist of Guneshotel in Malatya. At first, Yunluo didn't have a very good impression of Kemal.

First, everyone says Kemal doesn't reply to emails. This is true, except for the first email. In other words, Kemal's service attitude is not very good. Imagine you buy something on Taobao, and the seller ignores you, will you still buy it? But Kemal is a celebrity, there is nothing we can do about it, he is the only one in Malatya market.

I saw a post where Kemal said that he was too busy and too many people were looking for him. Yes, if it was Yunluo working in such an environment, Yunluo would be busy drinking tea and chatting, so how could he have time to reply to emails? Secondly, a guy on TripAdvisor complained that he didn't find Kemal when he arrived at the teahouse, but was brought around by someone.

Yunluo probably had some misunderstanding. Originally, Kemal ignored Yunluo, and he probably never took email bookings seriously. Just show up, he will always find a way to get you to the mountain. But two weeks before departure, Kappa's wife Kusum posted that the snow on Rentou Mountain had not melted yet, and it might be impossible to climb the mountain from Malatya.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were anxious, as the tickets had already been booked. Since Kemal ignored Yunluo, he sent Yunluo to email him to ask about the situation on the mountain. This guy actually replied to the email, saying that we could go up the mountain, no problem, ah. Damn, what's going on?

Yunluo and Nalanshiqi found another email address on the Guneshotel website. Later they found out that it was from a reliable guy named Huseyin who lived on the mountain. Huseyin replied that the weather was indeed abnormal this year and the snow had not melted yet, which affected the mountain. Yunluo and Nalanshiqi took this email to ask Kemal what was going on.

Kemal replied to the email again. It was not easy. He said, "Oh, Huseyin is on the mountain. He is more accurate." Yunluotian, are you so unreliable? Kemal didn't take it seriously and took it lightly. Later, he sent an email to ask Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi about the price of second-hand iPhones in China. It seems that you want Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to help you bring one. (To be continued...)
