A man walks past the glow of a newly opened honey shop in the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey. Fatih is home to one of the largest Syrian refugee communities in Turkey and has transformed the area into a vibrant community with shops, bookstores and restaurants of all kinds. The new Fatih underscores Syrian refugees' refusal to let adversity and the heartbreak of war prevent them from living normal lives -- And this Istanbul district is the better for it.
