The stalking does not stop at the Ayasofya. When I exited the Ayasofya I was heading to the Basilica Cistern and this Kurdish-Italian-Turk starts talking to me, asks if we could be friends, etc. He walks with me inside the cistern and is talking to me the whole time and I am trying to be nice and stuff. Then we leave the cistern and I tell him I am going back to where I am staying. Then he is all asking me to dinner. I tell him no thank you and get back on the tram.
