Istanbul and London
Four years ago, I went to London and I witnessed some similarities between London and Istanbul, and I will compare these two important cities. London is the capital of the England and I think Istanbul is one of the most important cities like London. There are lots of similarities between these two cities. For example; they both have many important football clubs. Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham United in London, and Galatasaray, Besiktas and Fenerbahce in Istanbul. These all teams have the same similarity that they won the League Cups. This was the first similarty between these two cities. (http://www.wikipedia.com),(http://www.footballmanager.com) Movies:“ Green street, the Football Factory”. Second similarity is that these two cities have museums and concept places. For example; Buckingham Palace is the official residence of Queen of the United Kingdom in London. Likewise Dolmabahçe Palace of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire in Istanbul. What is more Hyde Park is visible in the center with Richmond Park to the south-west, these areas are the concept places in London and in Istanbul, there are concept areas; Park Orman, Hezervan, Kurucesme Arena. A famous museum in London Madame-Tussauds museum attracts many tourists like, AyaSofya Museum in Istanbul. Another similarty is transportion system in London city. There are buses, cabs and subway system which is the heart of London like Istanbul. Ship transportion system is another similarity between two cities. (http://www.wikipedia.com/london ) ,(http://www.wikipedia.com/istanbul ). Istanbul is the only city in the world built on continents. Bosphorus bridge, Golden Horn, Galata Bridge are important for Istanbul transportion like in London. The Millenium Bridge, infamously known as the Wobbly Bridge. Another important transportion system is airport. Istanbul has two major international airports, Sabihe Gökçen and Atatürk airport. London has five international airports. Heathrow is the most important airport for London. (http://www.wikipedia.com/london ) Another similarity is; Population. London is the most populated city in Europe. Official population is 7.5million people. Istanbul has 10million people as population. In conclusion, we have seen two cities and we know what’s better. I think, Istanbul is better than London. Napolion Bonaparta thought like me and once said this; “If the earth was a single state, Istanbul would be it’s capital.” (http://www.wikipedia.com )
