Julian's final third-class travel is also his toughest. Turkey's capital, Istanbul, turns out to be a city as divided as the two continents it sits upon. Staying with two very modern women he embarks on a quest to find the extreme side to the city discovering a sexy world of risqué cabaret and the underground punk scene. He gets threatened with beheading by a fundamentalist mental case, eats a sheep's anus and vomits in the streets just before getting beaten up by a 4 year old boy.

Outside of Turin he enters the amazing cave temples of a local religious sect.
