"Every city has a gender and age. Rome is an old woman. London is a teenager. Paris, I believe is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman." says John Berger. When I read this sentence, I felt how true it was. Cities are just like people, they have certain kind of aura. You can feel it when you walk down the streets, when you inhale the smell of its morning and when you mingle in the crowd at night. Do you feel that in Istanbul? What is the gender and age of İstanbul?I will give my answer in the next post.
