I always <br />plan a trip every year just to shop. But do not send it unless it it is a large item shipping might be too complicated. Do what I do travel with empty suitcase and return with them filled. I live in New York so trust me I know the <br />tricks. <br /> <br />just shop until you drop http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/are-there-shopping-guides-available#post-114 Sat, 14 Apr 2007 00:15:25 +0000 eileen 114@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ I am sure there are plenty, but be smart you are aleady advertizing that you want to spend money. If someone gets a guide for you make sure thant he or she understands you gets want to look. <br /> <br />The best salesmen are Turkish http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/real-or-fake#post-115 Fri, 13 Apr 2007 23:30:46 +0000 jacob 115@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ Are there any designer stores in Istanbul where knock-offs are not sold but the real item are? stores like prada, LV, gucci, fendi, etc? I remember when we went to italy and fracne, everything was cheaper than here in america, I was thinking because of the taxes to ship it overseas and such. is it cheaper in turkey too? http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/are-there-shopping-guides-available#post-113 Fri, 13 Apr 2007 23:27:11 +0000 scott 113@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ Can anyone recommend a private, English speaking, guide for the Grand Bazaar?

I saw two women charged 120 euro each in May this year. Of course you can try the old trick of putting on as many layers as you can possibly wear but it's not practical or comfortable! If you cannot pay then they will not carry your luggage. <br /> <br />Many peole are not aware of this and are really caught out, and it can really put a damper on the end of your holiday <br /> <br />So just so you all know.............happy shopping just be careful.
