    Istanbul:Original Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Snacks review

    Positivt: Meget flotte lokaler, dygtig og engageret underviser med humor og meget højt niveau af engelsk, og mega fedt at få at hurtigt indblik i et håndværk, og sådan set billigt nok, i betragtning af at man kan få en lampe med hjem. Der blev også serveret te, kaffe og vand ad libitum af venlige medhjælpere. Negativt: Det var oplyst, at aktiviteten startede kl 18, men i virkeligheden skulle man være ved mødestedet 17.30 og køre i metro til værkstedet. Så jeg fik pludselig travlt, da det først blev oplyst i en mail efter tilmelding. Var eneste tilmeldte og værkstedet kontaktede mig derfor for at høre, om jeg ikke ønskede at ombooke til en anden dag, men det kunne jeg desværre ikke. Jeg tilbød dem, at de gerne måtte aflyse, men det ønskede de ikke. Guiden, der hentede mige, forklarede at det ville ødelægge algoritmen på Getyorurguide, så de ville rangere lavere. Så det var lidt en kold skulder.

    Friendly guide Kadir who brought us to the workshop and Nadia who conducted the workshop were both amazing. I really learned the basics of perfume making and came away with a bottle of my creation, what’s not to like! The group this tends to attract is friendly as well, it was a nice group workshop.
