Best Lines in Istanbul

The merchants of Istanbul are imaginative in their attempts to lure us into their stores. Here is a sampling of the best lines so far:

"Can I help you...spend your money?"
"Hello ladies, welcome to paradise."
"Hello Spice Girls"
"How can I change your world?"
"Can I hassle..er...I mean, help you?"
"Are you spicy girls?"
"Hello, I am here"

It usually brings out a smile from us. Today we spent our day in Taksim wandering down a shopping street - Istiklal Caddesi and then to the Grand Bazaar. I think my shopping limit has been reached.

I am trying to imagine Marilyn's response to being adressed as 'Spice girl'! Maybe the label will stick!
