I heard the invention of Irish coffee as Shannon, but I'm only a plastic paddy (Irish parent, English accent) so I won't argue. One of the first samplers of this cocktail was Marilyn Monroe, who was apparently very fond of it.
The old Istanbul had separate international and domestic terminals, which meant I had to run several hundred metres with 90 kg of baggage, shouting 'Yok Lira!' (No Lira!) to the porters who were standing by. I was young and fit in those days, but I still came close to a heart attack.
The new Istanbul has the most expensive bottled water in the world. Don't be thirsty in Istanbul; I understand it's cheaper in the domestic terminal, but I've not tried it.
