This is also the corner where a street child, in cooperation with 2 men, tried to pick my pocket.

There are two bridges that cross the Bosphorus.  Each effectively links one continent to another (Europe & Asia).  This is taken from the Asian side.
Ok, so you can barely see the little red sign but THIS is where you turn because you can see the McDonald's sign up ahead.
If you ever get a chance, look up the Bosphorus' connection to the Biblical account of the Great Flood.
This is just past the Gucci boutique.

This is the view from the bridge looking towards the Black Sea.  The Bosphorus, an international waterway, is just beautiful.
So we've crossed the bridge, driven next to the Sea of Marmara and are now in one of the swanky parts of Istanbul.
