Travel And Lifestyle: A Walk Around Taksim Square And Istiklal Cadessi

taksim square summer time
 Yesterday we practically spent the greater part of the day on food and fruits, lol it made us lazy to go out because we were still resting from our day out at 212AVM. When we finally dragged ourselves out of bed, we decided to explore Taksim square and Istiklal cadessi around 8pm, instead of going far. I wanted the easiest and most comfortable outfit, so i settled for a tee, jeans and my claire’s heart shaped geek glasses.

  The square was filled with a lot of tourists and locals just relaxing, taking photos and some others hawking their goods.
