The world is a fascinating place and I love to discover new things, whether it’s traveling, meeting people or surfing the Web. Every day I see and hear things that inspire me.

Here I could easily get lost. In the streets I find leather coats, gold rings, necklaces of all kinds, silks and pashminas, carpets and alarm clocks in the shape of mosques. Smaller and more manageable is the Egyptian market near the Galata Bridge, where I buy tea and Turkish coffee and some fine tea glasses to bring home.</p>http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/768481426http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/768481426Sun, 04 Jul 2010 10:00:00 +0200<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4x8zpTny51qzyf6lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/760895794http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/760895794Fri, 02 Jul 2010 10:31:01 +0200<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4x8vhAKlQ1qzyf6lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/760890651http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/760890651Fri, 02 Jul 2010 10:28:29 +0200Whenever I travel to a city  I have not been to before I will make sure to spend the first night in...http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/760878900http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/760878900Fri, 02 Jul 2010 10:22:58 +0200<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4x7v1P3y71qzyf6lo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4x7v1P3y71qzyf6lo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4x7v1P3y71qzyf6lo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4x7v1P3y71qzyf6lo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Perfect for a Friday night out: 360 Istanbul</p>http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/760844251http://www.irmasdiary.com/post/760844251Fri, 02 Jul 2010 10:06:37 +0200
