| Hi Mario, (...) want (...) wife (...) Without a local guide it's impossible to find a single toy shop in Instanbul, at least for me. :-) How many millions of turkish liras for a basic set? :-) (...) I hope to be there too. Ciao, Guido (24 years ago, 27-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.tr, lugnet.loc.it)

| (...) Hey, I'd like some addresses, too... But then again, when I go visiting my mother, I'll check up on Selçuk, too ;-) btw., Selçuk, do you know any stores that sell bricks from "Best Lock" (www.best-lock.com)?
