A chance encounter

"A chance encounter
July 2, 2011

A transit error places Jon Faine on the wrong continent but in the right neighbourhood for a regional Turkish feast.

It all happened because I caught the wrong ferry. Not deliberately - just a happy fluke. Hurrying to negotiate the simple dispensing machines for plastic tokens used on the short trip on the Bosphorus and racing through the turnstiles before the gates shut, I found myself aboard one of Istanbul's efficient ferries heading across the water to Kadikoy instead of Karakoy. A mistake - but one that turned out well."
