Creator's Key Takeaways
Grand Bazaar. Chaotic, glittering, overwhelming.
90% of the stuff unnecessary. 100% of it is overpriced.
Rule number one, whatever price they give you, cut it in half and then claim you saw the same thing around the corner.
The food overall, though, that's not a game. Try Turkish flatbreads.
