Top 5 funny things street hawkers/shopkeepers have said to me in Istanbul



I'm posting this from the relative calm of Izmir, I don't miss the constant hard sell of shopkeepers, market traders and random guys standing around waiting to help tourists that happens in the tourist areas of Istanbul. Still, once or twice I have literally cried with laughter at the cracking lines they unwittingly deliver.

1. Something for your... Secretary, sir?

2. These are happy socks, effendi!

3. Fucking Australian idiot, I'm trying to do you a favour....

4. The mosque is closing soon, I can be your guide...

5. You look French.
