I am loving Istanbul!
I feel like I have done and seen so much. Feeling very welcomed and excited for the near future. KEI helped me adjust quite well.

Overview

Istanbul, founded in 660 BC, straddles both Europe and Asia. Formerly known as Constantinople, the city served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires. Archeological and historic sites are abound - Hagia Sophia Church, Basilica Cister, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Roman Aqueduct are just a few examples. Today, Istanbul is the economic, cultural and historical center of Turkey.
