1. Wondering why exactly so many people are staring at you.
Everything was lovely in Cappadocia, where we spent the first four days of the trip. Its main draws are the aforementioned landscape, which looks like a phallic science fiction setting, and the cave HOTELS (which are so cool and definitely live up to their reputation). But when we arrived in Istanbul, I was immediately aware of a difference, namely that people were staring at me like I was walking around completely naked. At first I brushed it off, but it got to the point where Blake noticed it without me saying anything. It’s interesting—Istanbul boasts a population of 14 million people and is a major travel destination as opposed to Cappadocia, which is a much smaller town and less cosmopolitan. And when I was in Prague this past summer, I saw maybe six other black people besides my mom, but I still didn’t get any obvious stares. For some reason I still can’t explain, there were people in Istanbul who seemed genuinely fascinated by my existence.
