I am thinking about writing a historical novel/short story on the basis on how they were used in WWII. I had seen a documentary about it once, and it was all about how windmills drain water along canals, and how they were used in WWII by the resistance. I've Googled some but haven't found a site for what I need.

Can you describe me the differences between the different quarters in Istanbul ?
Istanbul city ( downtown ) is also Istanbul departement ( state, province or whatever the administrative name) ?
Fenerbache and Galatasaray are quarters or municipaties?
Where are the best quarters to visit and to stay?
Where are the dangerous quarters to avoid going to?

Is February a good period for holidays in Istanbul ?
How much is a night in a average hotel in a good quarter ( near by stores,restaurants ,monuments ,sea ,etc...)

Do you know a website where I can see a map with all the must-go/must-see things?

I'm in the UK and I want to travel. I would like to start in the Netherlands. My only skill is fixing/building PC's (no qualifications) but I'm willing to do anything.

Any ideas how to get the ball rolling? Good places to look?

Besides your Louve, Trevi Fountain, Eiffel Tower, Colosseum, and the essentials, what else is there to do in Italy and France during winter time? Are there any markets, restaurants, clubs, shops, shows that are a must see? I want to experience France and Italy like the natives... Help!

I mean, not just like Swedish chocolate. Although it'd be nice, I like to get things that will last!

What are Swedish packaging requirements? Anything would help, such as language requirements, etc. If not requirements, then how products are usually labeled--English and Swedish? English and Finnish?

OK,I need to have an issue explained by the locals since it bothers me for long now:
I've been to Athens a few times in passing.My everyday contact with the locals was not memorable, to say the least.The taxi drivers overinflated their prices to me, they would not point the hotel I was looking for,(which was only one block away),and were inconsiderate.The bus money collector (ispractoras) was rude and aggravated with a simple question we asked. Cashiers in Acropolis did not bother to explain they were closing in 30 minutes after we bought the tickets, even the person on the kiosk outside Acropolis was rude,trying to sell warm water! And so on..
I am thinking if this is the image we show to the tourists, it 'd be a shame if they form the wrong idea of Greeks and Greece.Was the attitude I saw there the rule or the exception?
What in your opinion should be done to ease this problem?
And what is done so far about it?
Thank you

I specifically mean the fish that end up being part of the local cuisine. Also, are there other types of seafood that are served locally?

Has anybody visited Amsterdam in February for a short visit ?

I'm going to be doing this and was wondering what your overall experience was like.

I'll definitely heed the advice of some of you and wear plenty of layers to keep myself warm. But i do plan on sightseeing exclusively through the GVB tram and night bus network and will be doing a lot of walking.
