My pal Stolp from Amagansett imports rugs from Turkey. I pinged him for advise yesterday and he suggested I check out an are called Beyoglu on the other side of the Galata Bridge. Thats where I am now. It's not Asia. I sense that Asian Istanbul is kind of like Staten Island (In fact I took the ferry there yesterday). Using NYC terminology there are three boroughs in Istanbul, separated by the Bosphorus. Bosphorus is a straight between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. and the curved part that divides Istanbul is called the Golden Horn.
