Istanbul at sunset
I have a crystal-clear memory of my very first morning in Istanbul. It was 1996. I was on assignment for Lonely Planet and Fodor’s to update their respective guidebooks to Turkey. My flight arrived late, 10pm or something. I jumped into a taxi and headed straight to the small hotel I had booked in Istanbul’s Sultanahmet district.

We all probably pay too much for our cellular service, but unfortunately, we’ve become just as dependant on having a mobile phone as we have on gas. There’s really not getting around having a cell phone, but if you’d like to help minimize your expense (it’s not uncommon for most people to have a monthly bill of more than $50) you may want to check out Validas.
Validas is a graphical representation of your monthly bill. We’re not quite sure how it works, (actually we have no idea, if we did we would have been the ones to come up with the idea) but according to Validas, their software will provide a quick audit of your cellular bill, and according to the website, “give you an autopsy of the uploaded billing statement.”
