                <description><![CDATA[The pile on board. The red leather seats patched with tape. The uplift of wash as the chugging Clydeside  engines, 50 years after they were built, pull you away from (in old money) Asia Minor.<br><br>Listen to the cries of white coated waiters cry, "Chi! Chi! Chi!". Buy a tea for God's sake! It's their living! Add plenty of sugar. Buy a Simit; Sesame seeded bread. If it's cold, purchase a salep with cinnamon on top. It has the look and consistency of...eh...but tastes GRRREEEAATTT!<br><br>And then, the best bit. <br><br>Watch the European side hove into view. Aya Sofia, The Mahvi Cami, the bustle of old Istanbul. And if you can be bothered, do it as the sun rises. From Asia to Europe. The finest commute. Ever.]]></description>
