Finally got back from my trip to Istanbul. Loads of fun. I met up with my family there. Unfortunately with all the sight seeing we did, (and because it was with a bunch of men) I didn't get to do much shopping and due to some mix up with reservations, I didn't see a belly dance night show. Oh well. Will have to head back some time in the far off future with belly dance gal pals.
Anyway, I bought a simple costume:
I probably paid too much for it, 120 YTL approx $100 US dollars. Not sure I'm that great at haggling. Lol.
There was this other gorgeous outfit at Ali Baba's, but it was going for 400 YTL for which I was sorely tempted but kinda out of my price range.
Also here's a link to my sight seeing pics. (I still need to label some of the pics)
