Istanbul

The hottest placeon Earth! Even though theres a lot of poverty (especially child-poverty) and homeless people, its a place that means the world to people, who have lived there. Honestly, its a place that ll [touch you], if you visit it one day. Theres a great atmosphere and its probably the only city on Earth, where old [asian culture] and modern western culture has a nice balance. A lot of great mosques and historical places to visit.
