Oh yes, you are so right there.. so many things seem to pull me to places like this.. the atmosphere, the time that once was.. even the clouds as you say probably play their part in that.

Oh I bet they are very similar, the ottomans were part of the Turkish empire so I bet the styles you are remembering are very similar!

I didn’t drink from this one.. honestly I was afraid to break it lol. It was very cold that day and he began to snow later on. I’m actually not even sure if it in fact is functioning or not. Next time I’ll have to give it a try though. Thank you for the lovely comment!
