A Dinner Above the City: Family Time

Last night my cousin invited us to dinner in Istanbul, and it became one of those evenings that quietly stays with you. He is doing his military service right now, and the place where he serves is not a typical base. It is actually a hotel owned by the military, with a calm sense of order you feel the moment you step inside. When he said, “Come, let me host you,” it wasn’t only an invitation to eat; it was his way of sharing his world with us.
