In Istanbul and Need Guidance

[Donny Cohen]

I've only been here since 5/3, leaving 5/10, just discovered this forum on line.
I'm a reasonably savvy older woman. My travelling companion, also female, and I spent time in the Grand Bazaar. I bought a couple of things in one shop from a Turkish guy, has Canadian wife, in Canada finishing the teaching year, know his whole life story. He wants to take us to Taksim this evening. I'm no pushover, it's fun to have a tour guide of sorts. Am I nuts?

Taksim street and square is a busy place lots of shops bars and restaurants. As you say your are a savvy woman so you know how to look out for yourself, you should be fine, have a good time.

Thank you for the reality check.

Why is a married man offering to escort you for the evening?
