File comment: I had to include a cat. Cats roam Istanbul in packs, there seems to be a special significance towards the cat here. When I first came here I was like, "Where are all the dogs." I thought they just exterminated them, but eventually a saw a few dogs here and there. I asked a local who explained cats werent as violent as dogs. Ah well not a dog sh*t on sight either.

File comment: A characteristic of the mosques was the centre, which usually consists of light bulbs arranged in a spiral at the centre. This is the Yeni Camii Mosque.

Did you notice the extraordinary amount of men just sitting around?
Every wall or ledge you could be sure there would be 4 or 5 oul lads just sitting there, not talking or anything, just looking about and spitting.

When I was there the big train station on the Asian side went on fire, it was pretty cool to see.

i wonder if i met him in real life would enose be really dead sound

or would i think he is a complete melt

i think it'd depend on his concept of personal space. yknow when really nice people get too close. and it becomes unnerving.. like their about to go postal at any minute.. do a "funny how" thing on you

that said.. i do find it a bit weird he posted up his holiday snaps here.. i kinda WANT to start slagging him.. but technically i cant.. well i could of course... but like.. ASIAN PEOPLE! he's like asian people .. did you ever see like.. the footage of japanese public parks.. and there'll be a gang of lads who hang about in the park and are into the 50's greaser look.. if it was ireland.. it'd be 5 lads.. in black jackets.. who have a website or soemthing..

in japan its 15 lads who dress 24/7 in full T-Bird gear... and go to the park and do swing dance.. and in the interview one lad acts like sid vicious.. and says things like "way of life".

so, he's trying to be like, a portrayal of a 50s american bad ass.. while looking like a complete geek.. because he just dosent get it, technically he's ticking every box.. clothes music attitude.. but the sum of the parts and all that..

its like enose thinks that the EP forum is a sort of bohemain website getaway where like minded guys and gals sit all day in a virtual bedowin tent.. suckling from the shisha pipe of each others communal knowledge

its not enose. its a rake of bored office workers sitting about all day trying to score points off each other in witty banter threads that arent witty at all. its cynical and sometimes mean spirited. and youve posted a big fat fucking target up here for everyone to aim for. but i dont think its right because you dont seem to get it.. like the kid in the wayfarers all in black in a park in japan.. dancing around an ipod to the glen miller band thinking he's the dogs bollox.

fair fucks to him.. that kid.. he dosent get that everyone thinks he's a bit silly or whatever.. so why would i ruin his buzz.. maybe he's the clever one.. lost in his own little thing.. i'm there stressing out about it.. whos happier

thats kinda how i feel about enose

I reckon he is one of those musical leftish hippy types

like an irish teacher from connemara or somewhere

leave him at it I say

the only thing i would suggest is for him to embed his images using image tags rather than attaching the images
