People on here just can't seem to comment without the political cheap-shots. Believe it or not, you can enjoy a thing/place/etc without "americanizing" it (making everything political).
I thought Istanbul was amazingly rich in terms of culture, food, etc as well as fairly liberal and safe. Didn't think twice about who's in charge nor cared. Can't wait to go back.

- Manheim 2y agoI am not from America, and do not favor Americanizing anything. I enjoy Istanbul, was there last summer actually, and love the city. I just point out what's been happing with the city the last 15 to 20 years, and that this is mostly due to political reasons, connected to the conservative and religious party of Erdogan. You should not mistake a comment made out of love for the city to be a comment of how things are better in the US or trying to make everything political. That is to give me intentions I do not have.
