Film|Listening to "Istanbul" in Istanbul

I think one thing most people do when traveling to Istanbul is listen to Jay's "Istanbul." In the worn and faded memories, I still clearly remember a dream from six or seven years ago. Walking through the skyline of Xiamen, a skybridge spanning the strait, a train hanging and passing by, looking down, crossing the ocean, you can clearly see the street below, the flower shop on the corner, the shop owner stumbling and falling, scattering the flowers she was holding all over the street. After waking from the dream, I searched but couldn't find any scene in Xiamen that matched the dream. It wasn't until I came to Istanbul that the scenes in the dream seemed to be completely replicated. When I was riding the bus across the Bosphorus Bridge, I realized that the place I dreamed of was not Xiamen, but Istanbul. Film 🎞️|Kodak Ektar Kodak Ultra 400 Developing 🧪|
