Everyone will have a choice.

This is the first item of new clothing I've bought for like aaages and I got ridiculously happy about it. Despite it only being a T shirt. There is a huge shopping centre down the road from where my other half lives named Forum Istanbul and they just opened an H&M there. Again I was ridiculously happy about it. There is a serious lack of fashionable shops here but the new H&M is absolutely full of amazing items of clothing that make me ache to go shopping at home again. The best thing about it though was that I found myself standing in a shop full of really fashionable Istanbul women which, despite my coming here 5 times now and living in Bodrum for a few months, have been non- existent. It gave me hope. God knows where these women are hiding though.
I originally bought a jumper which I exchanged for this T shirt and what a bloody hassle that was! I went into the heaving store- couldn't find the jumper- found the jumper- went to the cashier who stood there looking over my head- she then asked me (in Turkish) if a random vest she was holding was mine- i said no- she put it down and carried on staring past me- I then got a bit annoyed and all but shoved the jumper at her- she took about 20 minutes putting it through- I walk out and set all the alarms off due to the woman leaving the security tags on BOTH my items- the security guard takes my items and comes back ages later sans security tags- I have to nearly run to the doors where my other half was waiting 'just 5 minutes' for me. It so wasn't worth it as I had to take the jumper back.
I took him with me when I exchanged it for the T shirt. Much safer.
This bracelet was just 5 lira from Eyüp. Brownie points for anyone who knows where Eyüp is.
