Commuting between continents IKE 100,000 other Istanbulians, Burhanettin Sezeroglu lives in Asia and works in Europe. He breakfasts with his wife and children (above) in a middle class suburb. Then he drives to a ferry stop to catch a breezy ride, braced with a glass of tea (upper right). The new Bosporus Bridge lies too far north to change his route. At the Galata Bridge ter minus, a dolmu-a "stuffed" cab of group riders-takes him to his jewelry shop in the Cov ered Bazaar (page 519). As cus tomers show interest in a pur chase, Mr. Sezeroglu serves them tea (right), fetched at a moment's notice from a nearby shop. Jewelers help buttress the city's economy, since Turks tra ditionally choose jewelry for gifts. Istanbul's goldsmiths mix copper with imported gold, giv ing a reddish hue to their bracelets, pins, earrings, neck laces, and rings. National Geographic, October 1973 516
