Yup... Fatih is a very conservative area to say the least, and they mind a lot of things that foreigners do. You should always ask permission to take photos.

Smego? What a name! Please write us an intro in New Members Introduction to tell us how you came up with that.
PS They only want you to ask for a photo so they have time to pose! Turks are perfect for picture posing!

I'm in and out of Fatih all the time and have never had any problems there. Now, Fatih Carsamba is a whole other world.

Well i dont think Charly said that. But personally, and this is not a criticism, i would guess you are Turkish from the grammar in the use of On instead of In and Is instead of Are.
