    Istanbul was Constantinople. Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople.

    So if you’ve a date in Constantinople, she’ll be waiting in Istanbul.

    I hope this helps any single people.

      If you have a date in Constantinople, I doubt they are still waiting unless you hurry very hard

            Maybe, but you have to remember that even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it, I can’t say.
