Sailing to Byzantium: Gezi: How a Seedy Park in Istanbul Became a Place of Unity
http://sailingtobyzantium2.blogspot.com/2013/06/gezi-park.html
Thursday, June 13, 2013. Gezi: How a Seedy Park in Istanbul Became a Place of Unity. Gezi Park stood up in Taksim and Taksim wheeled around Gezi Park. The people grew like mad wildflowers. Gezi Park cracked into wrinkled smiles and sang old songs and clapped its hands. It was one week of peace. But they came back. And they grew. And they come back more and more. And now Gezi Park sits on the stoop of Taksim, catching its jagged breath and clutching its chest, but it's alive. And unbending.

Wow, you got this up quick. I appreciate that as I wondered what had happened there. My friend said she had gone out wearing platform shoes and was tear-gassed and had had a hard time getting away from it. June 23, 2013 at 1:29 AM. June 24, 2013 at 2:24 AM. June 24, 2013 at 3:10 AM.

Sailing to Byzantium: June 2013
http://sailingtobyzantium2.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 24, 2013. Pot and Pan Banging: Making a Ruckus in Istanbul. Clang Bang. Ring. Smash. Whistle. Honk. At 9:00 PM every night for the last three weeks, Istanbullus have been making a racket over the rooftops of the city. And down the alleyways and from window to window. It's cacophonous. It's loud. It's sometimes angry, sometimes triumphant. It is the sound of protest.* *. Here is a truly inspiring song. Based on the nightly pot and pan banging. Saturday, June 22, 2013. Saturday, June 15, 2013.

http://sailingtobyzantium2.blogspot.com/2013/06/istanbul-protests-may-31-june-1-2013.html
Saturday, June 1, 2013. Night of Terror: May 31-June 1, 2013 in Istanbul. I caught sight of her flitting past in the Osmanbey metro station, and I was immediately filled with dread. When we emerged from the station, there was a palpable tension in the air. We walked toward Taksim, my stomach churning. Sunset and shadows and a strange smell on the air and dread. And then it happened. Hundreds of people running toward us. Surgical masks and people coughing. Do you speak English? Do you speak English? They ...

Sailing to Byzantium: Managing Fear: Taksim on Fire (June 11, 2013)
http://sailingtobyzantium2.blogspot.com/2013/06/managing-fear-taksim-ablaze-june-11-2013.html
Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Managing Fear: Taksim on Fire (June 11, 2013). I had to pee three times in 20 minutes as I psyched myself up to go to Gezi Park. Crowds surged toward Taksim and out of the metro. Hawkers waited at the top of the metro escalators selling surgical masks, whistles, bandanas, hard hats. All the necessary supplies. Getting closer to the park, the tension heightened. People cheered each other as if to give courage ahead of battle. At the edge of Gezi Park, it was a swarm of people.
