Jennifer Restores our Faith
We had explored Istanbul for four days and had been enchanted by its rich history and beauty. We had also been hounded by rug vendors at the Spice Market, Grand Bazaar, and most everywhere we went.
We met Jennifer our last day in Istanbul in her coffee and tea shop, where we were looking for Turkish “treats” for our family and friends. Originally from Canada, Jennifer had fallen in love with Turkey and its people during a visit, and she moved to Istanbul and founded Java Studio in 2007.
Jennifer struck up a conversation with us, and when she found out we wanted to buy a carpet she suggested we go to a shop owned by her friend. After three days of being “hit up” by carpet vendors in Istanbul, we were suspicious, but she won us over with her warmth and sincerity.
Jennifer turned her business over to a colleague, walked with us to the store, and stayed with us while we looked at carpets, debated, and negotiated with the owner. She patiently waited while we paid, then walked back to her store with us, telling us about her life in Turkey. When we thanked her, she told us, “The pleasure was all mine. Going there with you was like a mini day off for me, so I’m the one that should thank you.”
Jennifer wished us farewell, gave us a hug, and then disappeared into her store. She had enriched our Istanbul experience and restored our faith in people.
Thank you, Jennifer!
