If u happen to be in Sultanahmet and want to watch Turkish sufi whirling dance for free, u can dine at Mesale Cafe Restaurant in Sultanahmet. Very near to Arasta Bazaar. Food is good. Prices are affordable but to me, it's a little bit pricey for my budget. But, u can watch the dance and traditional music performance for free while dining in. The show was not long, about 15 minutes per session. I guess the simple version, not like the one u pay, it is longer and they have like some kind of story line. Oklah kan...janji dapat tngk...hehehe...

On our way back from dinner, we walked pass Arasta bazaar. Bazaar ni tutup lambat, pukul 9 lbh masih ada kedai yang buka. Actually harga kat sini, x lah mahal sangat, rasanya lebih murah dari Grand Bazaar, cuma ia lebih kecil. Kedai2nya pon bersih.
