Istanbul is famous for its carpet makers

This is a modest shop with a rug maker in action. Typically store owners try to invite you in for tea and introduce you to whole family while showing their wares. When I first arrived and didn’t know better, I asked a guy for directions to a street and he exclaimed ” you are my destiny! I had an instinct to walk this way and now I know it was because I was fated to meet you….please come to my shop…I have many fine carpets”….etc. etc. I graciously begged off and despite his disappointment he said it was still his destiny to show me where the street was located and walked me there!
