Five times a day, you hear the Islamic call to prayer. No matter where you are in Istanbul (on the European side, anyhow) you can hear it. Early (really, really, really, really, really, really early) morning, noonish, late afternoon, just after sunset and then again in the evening. Here are just a few of the wonderful sights and sounds of Istanbul, including The Haigha Sophia, The Blue Mosque and the Bosphorous Sea.

Hearing that sound in real life must be amazing. It is so outside my realm of normal daily life. I don’t think anything illustrates the idea of being in a truly “foreign” country better than this video. Perfect.
