The Times, one of the UK’s leading newspapers, collected the impressions of its correspondents from different parts of the world. The newspaper’s correspondent in Istanbul, Hannah Lucinda Smith, also relayed her experiences in detail and witty language.
Smith, who started writing saying that tourists coming to Istanbul admire the vibrant and vibrant chaos of the city, said: “But when there are no tourists and residents in the city, when the business and places are closed and the weekends of week and holidays curfew begins, the iconic symbols of the city become a static painting like an oil painting is done.Without ferries, the Bosporus becomes a calm lake and the city air is so Clean that you can even see Uludag. “I am very lucky to see Istanbul so calmly in the city I love, an experience of a century.”
Smith said he continued to live around his home on the days of curfews and restrictions. “Many people remain afraid even when the curfew is not fully applied. But Turkish companies and entrepreneurs have adapted to this new reality. Tekel has expanded its distribution network and now I can buy fresh orange and the drink. “The tavern next to my house started sending snacks home and a local designer started producing specially designed masks.”
Saying that the people of Istanbul have discovered new ways to celebrate national holidays and bank holidays, Smith expressed his impressions saying: “A truck drove through the streets, Barış Manço stole the speaker and that night everyone went to the glass of the house and read the Hymn National”.
Smith said the beauty salons and barbers that were closed due to the coronavirus affected everyone: “The most important places to close were, without a doubt, beauty salons. The cold hair of the young Turks succumbed to gravity, and the women began to worry about the neglect of their eyebrows and nails. But the announcement that the barbers will open on Monday made people feel comfortable. In the end, the people of Istanbul can look beautiful as their cities. “
