The country town of Warwick in Queensland, Australia has a winter festival entitled "Jazz and Jumpers in July" each year. Apart from Jazz singers and bands, the streets come alive with all sorts of hand knitted coverings and attachments to their trees. Even the hardest of hearts gets a sense of joy or a good laugh out of the contributions. Even mine.

In Australia, our local deli or coffee shops often buy food items in large plastic or glass containers. When empty they make great containers for kitchen or bathroom items. For a polite enquiry, and a small price or even free, you can get containers that store easily and save landfill.

One of the most beautiful cities in the world and beloved by Australians. The food is excellent. The accommodation in the old City is good. Possibly try near the University. I cannot fault the suggestions of others. To save money, I recommend that you take one of the local ferries up towards the Black Sea and get off on one of the islands, have lunch and a walk, and catch the ferry on its return trip. Turkish people are very welcoming and generous. Enjoy.
