While thinking about all the possibilities one has as a student while staying in Istanbul, one has to have a focal point otherwise one gets lost. During the 14-day-stay in that city I

made a brief journey through the residential area Zeytinburnu which is farther west of the city centre. There, I strolled along the blocks and parks and took a lot of pictures. My underlying idea was to find Gecekondus in that certain place. It is known as a former place where rural people from Turkey settled down to set up their simply made houses 'over night' ('gece'= night, 'kondu' = build). It took me some time to actually find those buildings. Luckily I discovered a few of them right next to newly constructed appartement buildings. It couldn't look any better: residential highrise put side by side and in between a ramshackle hut ~~squashed in~~.
