Today, I visited three schools....in two continents, Europe and Asia. However, they were all in the same city!
Istanbul actually crosses into both continents. In order to get from Europe to Asia, (or vice versa), you have to drive across one of the suspension bridges that cross the Bosporus. One minute, I'm in Europe. The next, I'm in Asia. Also, many of the citizens of Asian Istanbul work in European Istanbul! How crazy is that?
