I was there sometime in the 8th century, Gosh, It's seems like forever now. Time really does fly, but humans don't have the ability to see that. The emperor at the time was a piece of ass. I wish I never left. SOmthings are meant to stay where they are made. Maybe the entire world wouldn't always be in danger.


Your turn.

I was in Istanbul a few years ago. Got blind stinking drunk with a couple of buddies, smoked a little hash in the hotel room, and decided to go find out about this place called "the compound" we had heard about.

We payed the cab driver God knows how much of their funny money to see how fast he would drive through traffic and went to this HUGE shopping mall like place filled with "shops" full of whores. They were all whorehouses, every one. There was nothing else except some food vendors in the street. It was sort of like Amsterdam's red light district crossed with an American style shopping mall. Very wild. Amazing to see thousands of women of all types; from girl-next-door to plain, from drop-dead-sexy to just plain ugly, from old to young, from fat to skinny. Very wild.

Sounds like my last trip to Montreal EY.

I was last there in 1453 when the fucking muslims took Constantinople. I gotta tell ya that it really sucked.

It's Istanbul not Constantinople!!



P.S. Has anybody else heard about "The Compound" in Istanbul? I tried to find a picture of the area on Google Earth, but couldn't get my bearings.

The eighth century was a pretty good one for the Byzantine empire, as Emperors Leo III the Isaurian and Constantine V led the empire's armies to victories over the Arabs/Muslims.
