Immersed in Istanbul

Another coincidental find was a flea market near Istanbul University. The sellers spread out their tarps and arranged whatever they were trying to sell. Most of the items could easily pass as junk - including old cell phones, cell phone covers, cigarette lighter chargers, headphones and ear buds, old computer circuit boards, various appliances and audio equipment, all sorts of clothes, plastic kids' toys, tacky souvenirs, tools, kitchen utensils, shoes - including "old, icky shoes", and probably bootleg CDs. We didn't manage to find any treasures that needed to return with us. On several occasions, we passed stores selling burkas. My offers to buy one weren't that well received.
