Sunday Funday- let's play
.
Did you know Istanbul is the most populated city in all of Europe and the 4th most populated in the world? Can you guess the population? How about what the top 3 in the world are?
AND, my personal favorite fact, did you know that it is the ONLY city in the world where you can be in the same city but on two different continents? Can you guess which two they are?

This is Cabo Da Roca - the most western point in Europe . I’m pleased to finally get here and visit country number 54 (Portugal). It’s been a long time coming!
Cabo Da Roca is easy to get to from Lisbon. I took the metro from my hostel to Entre Campos (€1.50) and then the train from Entrecampos to Sintra (€2). Outside of Sintra train station are several buses to the attraction in Sintra (Pena Palace, Morrish Castle etc) and to Cabo Da Roca. A day pass to use all these buses is €15. Cabo Da Roca is a 35 min ride from Sintra.

Using only their maternal wiles as a weapon, these resilient super mums refuse to give up on their community’s young people – even if it sometimes feels like the rest of society has.
Every Friday and Saturday night, they put on their orange jackets and walk through #Stockholm's infamous #Rinkeby neighbourhood in groups of two or three.
Their aim isn’t simply to stop crime, but to make young people feel seen, heard and supported, and that is significant in a neighbourhood often neglected by the authorities and dismissed by politicians and the media as an example of Sweden’s failed immigration and integration policies.

Salma trains every day at the Brussels #Boxing Academy (BBA), a #Moroccan migrant-founded club located in an old school gym in Molenbeek, Brussels.
The club offers young people "an anchor, a place where they can find an identity," says trainer Tom Flachet.
Following the coordinated attacks in Paris on November 13, 2015, and bombings at #Brussels airport and metro in 2016, police raided homes in Molenbeek.
One of BBA's champions was arrested on suspicion he had links with the #Paris attackers and the club was shut down.
But up and running again, it has a lot to prove - as does Salma, who will be fighting at the Belgian Championships in Ghent. Will she be able to return as a #champion and strike a blow for her club's vision of unity and mutual respect?

When Pakistani migrant worker, Javied Aslam, arrived in Greece in 1996, he did not know he would find his calling in helping victims of racism and labour-related exploitation.
But over the last 20 years, Javied has seen the country struggle through a crippling economic crisis.
As #Greece has suffered, the climate for #migrant workers has worsened. Across Greece, #Pakistani migrant workers have reported being cheated, exploited and even attacked.

Hussein Seif is a #Palestinian barber who lives in #Berlin's multicultural neighbourhood of Neukolln.
Home to people from more than 160 countries, Neukolln is the epicentre of the German capital’s Arab community.
Hussein’s barbershop, a chic “gentlemen’s style” establishment, complete with chesterfield couches and fine cigars, it bears little resemblance to the area’s traditional #Arab and Turkish #barbershops.
But Hussein’s willingness to embrace, and even lead, change isn’t just a reflection of his entrepreneurial spirit – it goes to the heart of his belief in integration.
As #Germany tackles a national debate about immigration and integration, Hussein is determined to find success by being true to himself.
