Istanbul Trip - Part 4 - The MIFC Conference at the Ritz-Carton Hotel



Next morning is the day of the conference. Only then can one appreciate the taste of the Turks on their interior designs.In fact, I would say, very European.


Loads of wood. Even in the lifts.


They provide free Turkish Delights for guest at the lobby. A variety of them.


A very grand lobby.


This is something that you may not see, ever, a shoe shine station. The brass bottles both sides of the seat contains the various shades of wax for shining shoes.


A picture from the night before. View towards Istanbul, the Asia side. In the middle is the Bhosporus Straits.



Before the start of the day, got a chance to go the gym. Impressed with the facility. Very modern.


Only in the morning, I got a sense how hilly Istanbul is. The whole city sits on series of small hills.


The hotel swimming pool.


Another view of the city.


Tall buildings are not in apparent.


A good turnout.




The stage.



The first speaker on stage. I went on after this.
