I looked at your website and noticed that you had some images from Istanbul. Nice images. Two of my daughters spent a week vacationing in Istanbul and Bodrum a couple of years ago. My oldest daughter, much to her surprise, told me that Istanbul was very clean and modern for the most part, and nothing like what you might suspect from watching the news here in the states.

Unfortunately, and I suspect it's this way around the world, it's propaganda's job to keep us separated and suspicious of each other in support of local political motivations.

Indeed, media has power to manipulate our brain to think totally opposite, even in Pakistan until i went outside everything was considered dangerous and uninteresting!
