For our Gallery section this week we're featuring photos by Jasmine Koo. Being said as the largest city in Turkey, Istanbul is really a place worth visiting for its cultural, economic and the financial centre. Hense, Jasmine extended her business trip there and it proves to her, everything worth the penny. Picture shown above is taken in Taksim Square while the one below is taken from Blue Mosque.

Jasmine Koo's Story: "I was on a business trip in Istanbul and being heard of numerous talks about how great Istanbul is, I decided to extend my business trip and to walk around here. Prove to that, everything worth the time spent. The city is breathtaking with the cultural value in it as well as the entertainment district especially in Taksim Square and the Blue Mosque. Taksim Square is known for it's shopping district while Blue Mosque is a sacred place that even the President Obama visited it!"
(For your information, Taksim Square is Istanbul's major shopping district and is famous for its leisure activities. Restaurants, shops and hotels are everywhere in the square and the buildings are of one of the modern creation. As for Blue Mosque, also known as Sultan Ahmed Mosque, can be easily spotted far away for its six minarets are never fail to attract attentions. The cascade of domes are also beautifully arranged and most importantly, the blue tiles used in the mosque has eventually make the mosque famous.)
