Part 7

Back in Istanbul.

We thought Zeki was joking when he told us that Sunday was a national census, and all Turkish citizens had to stay in their homes all day long to be counted in the census.  Turns out he wasn't kidding -- you could be put in prison if you were on the streets that day, unless you had a special license.  The only people who could apply for this license were those who worked in the tourist industry.  Tourists didn't have to stay inside.  This street is normally very busy, but today, absolutely nothing.
