Month: April 2007

On our way back from Skopje to Lebanon, we had to stop one day in Istanbul as there were no flight to Beirut. So we went strolling in the famous Eminönü Square. Eminönü is Istanbul’s crossroads. Located on the south side of the Golden Horn at the southern end of the Galata Bridge, it’s a major transportation nexus for trains, trams and buses, and the Eminönü ferry docks are always busy.
It’s a major shopping area and has been for centuries with many crowded streets, each street has almost its own specialty: toys, clothes, homeware, electronics, textiles, softwares, DVDs, etc…

One of the streets has also its very own specialty: Viagra and Cialis among many other generic brands. You can easily buy these products down the street as if buying a simple chewing gum. Placed on small handy kiosks, easy to close and run away when someone not welcomed is in the neighborhood. Every walker is welcomed in many different languages to come closer and check the “original products” as the kiosks owners say.

Turkey wants to enter the European Union, I think they need quite a good load of time until they fix many issues.

Adriana is one of C-Food International (my employer) brands, already present on the market in Macedonia and with the positive energy of our distributor there, hopefully it will be the market leader soon in the canned tuna category.

Maher, this posting is dedicated specially to you with all the nice things you said after you came back from Egypt, let’s keep it up!
