Vitrinlere bakmaya çıkmak: Window shopping

When I explore the city, I don't always bring the camera... and go for the unmediated experience. Invariably, I see something fantastic that I want to show people! Nevertheless, I've been wandering through the markets in Sultanahment, both the touristic ones and the local areas. These are arranged by type of goods. So, all of the electronics shops are together, then the grocers, then the clothes, up the hill to the jewelers and carpet sellers. The protocol is completely different for foreigners and local shoppers. Yabancılar (like me) get the hard sell, and any eye contact raises the stakes. I wear my sunglasses and put the peripheral vision to work. Even so, the shop keepers try their best: "You're going the wrong way! My shop is over here." and "I can not see where you are looking, but I would like to show you my carpets." Nice try, guys!
