Dreams at the bottom of the sea, truths on the surface. Life buoys on the City Lines Ferry. Under the famous Galata Bridge, which is lively at night with the eyes of the day. The vagrants’ free dormitory. The entrance gate of the Golden Horn. You are unique Istanbul. Who is Kocatas, what is it? Eminonu Seaside January 4, 1975

An uphill alley in Fatih. The cheerful moods of children who have started to mature as youngsters. Istanbul’s always young and rich human values, genetic diversity. Neighborhoods, foreigners, cities, continents. It is not easy to be the capital of the world. With its children and young people, it is always a dizzling and scrambling city. The proud leadership of the capital, the conquerors.
Fatih’de yokuş yukarı bir sokak arası. Gençliğe yolalmaya başlamış çocukların neşeli halleri. İstanbul’un her zaman genç ve zengin insan değerleri, genetik çeşitliliği. Mahalleler, taşradan gelenler, şehirler, kıtalar. Kolay değil dünya başkenti olmak. Çocukları, gençleri ile her zaman külhan ve fırlama bir şehir. Payitahtın, Fatihlerin gururlu liderliği.
