Istanbul

Your phone’s picking up everything tonight. It’s really loud. Did you change a setting or something? 
No, it’s just loud up here and a bus went by. Can you hear those guys arguing? 
Who? 
Two guys just came out of this bar and they’re arguing behind me. I think they’re drunk. 
Hello?
Yeah, I’m here. One of the drunk guys just fell over. 
Jesus. 
Can you hear that? They’re still arguing and one of them's on the ground. 
Yeah, is he okay? What are they arguing about? 
Dunno. Seems to be. Seems like he’s sort of used to it. Like it happens a lot. 
Hey, I booked my flight today. 
Flight? 
Yeah, for my cruise. 
Oh, right. 
I got it for one seventy-five. The ticket cost eleven grand, but I was able to use miles, so I only had to pay the fees. Can you believe that? Crazy. 
Eleven grand, wow. When do you go? 
Yeah, business class. Umm, September 9th. The cruise doesn’t start until the 15th, but it was the only flight I could get. They were seriously booked for some reason. I was going to stay in Paris for a couple of days first, but now I'll be there almost a week. 
And where’s the cruise again? 
Istanbul. Two weeks. 
Nice. What’s in Istanbul?  
It’s just one of those places I’ve always wanted to see, you know. Hello?
