Recordist's notes

If Istanbul is an organism, the streets of Istanbul are the veins of the city. Its blood pressure is very low though. The vehicles are slow and bulky, the roads are often narrow and clogged. The bus, a major corpuscle, is waiting to get entirely packed with passengers, so that all capacities are fully in use. You will find a very complex and dense cell structure in the interior of the vehicle. Once you cannot move anymore, the bus may go on its way.
