What happens if you CROSS the BORDER to North Cyprus?

  • This is my first video about North Cyprus. I get a lot of questions about this topic, and so I decided to spend one day in Nicosia and cross the border.
    This is not a political video. This is just me driving to Nicosia, eating there and talking to some people. Everything completely objective and with no bad intentions. That's it.
    My friend Jonathan Schöck and me drove to Nicosia and I crossed the border to North Cyprus the first time. We walked around, ate some food and talked to people to get a feeling of this part of Cyprus.
    As I am creating videos about Cyprus for a long time now, I think it's also important to talk about this as well. As you see, I try to do it as professional and objective as possible, and if you want me to do more in depth videos, let me know.
    Pretty quickly, I realized that fewer people talk Greek and many people talk Turkish there. Also, there are a lot of tourists around. It was definitely an interesting experience, and I am very curious about what you think of this video.
    I also want to know if I should do more about Northern Cyprus. I am thinking about some longer trips and talking to locals there. Let me know your opinion!

      @@leoprg5330 I already responded to you once but my comment keeps being deleted. That is why I will take a screenshot of this one and expose it if this one also gets deleted. So, the Turkish-speaking Cypriots (Turkish Cypriots) are the native and indigenous populations of the Republic of Cyprus and the European Union. Turkish Cypriots are among the most liberal Muslims in the Western world as we never go to the mosque or cover our heads, we have anti-discrimination laws for LGBT people and the media is free where newspapers can have headlines exposing the Turkish invasion and its consequences. However, in the video, most of the people he encountered are overwhelmingly Turkish settlers who are very different culturally compared to Turkish Cypriots and the border gate is very close to the places where they live. therefore, he crossed but without talking to locals, he started to talk with Turkish settlers who do not represent us. On the contrary, we are actually very against Turkish interventions and influence on our country and their increasing population is becoming a growing concern for Turkish Cypriots. You can read the following article by one of the leading newspapers in the UK, www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/26/thousands-of-turkish-cypriots-demonstrate-against-ankara As a Turkish Cypriot, I have never seen for example a single woman covering their head. We are culturally very different from Turkish settlers. We do not even speak the exact same language. Turkish Cypriots speak Cypriot Turkish which has its own unique words as well as influence of Greek and Italian.

    08:50 Sorry, but you are a bit too ill-informed on a a number of issues, e.g., people pay quite a lot of taxes in the north. In fact, given the sanctions, you tend to pay more in the absence of a diversified economy and presence of sanctions. However, your video on buying property in the north was more or less spot on accurate. I've just discovered your channel. In fact, in old town, you will mostly find touristy stuff or in some quarters settlers from Turkey and elsewhere. Once you are out of the old town boundaries then you start discovering true blue Cyprus and in fact, to anyone's surprise, you'll find hell lot of similarities between Turkish and Greek Cypriots (despite the 50-year division). If you have a car, you can cross to north, get insurance and roll on. It's really worth it. Just be careful with road quality. As far as driving quality is concerned Greek and Turkish Cypriots are just as bad as each other =)))) but surely better than their mainland cousins. Have good one with your channel and life in Cyprus.

    Cypriots can cross to the other side either with their ID (Cypriot) or Passport. Not sure if other EU citizens can use ID.
    It's much more interesting to go there by car. There are many places to explore and discover.
    It's good to carry with you a document with car details (e.g. insurance or ownership title) because they will ask info (year of manufacture, engine CCs, number of passengers, model etc).
    You can buy car insurance for either 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months.
    You will wait in queue before you cross to the other side (on a busy day/time it could take up to 1 hour).
    Driving there is easy, but beware of traffic cameras.
    They are everywhere!
    Prices are generally lower there. Some people buy petrol there (it's -40% of the price here).

    Well done Rico. Just looked up some info on the Doner in Germany - I had a great one last time I was in Berlin.
    Turkish doner, which was once popularized in Germany in 1970 by Turkish immigrants, is the most preferred food in Germany now. Despite the uncertainty of who was the first person to invent Turkish doner kebab, the immigrant Kadir Numan is widely credited for Turkish doner and its popularization in Berlin. Apart from the unknown inventor of Turkish doner kebab, it is a fact that Turkish doner shops in Berlin have outnumbered the ones in Turkey’s capital city, Istanbul.
    Having an authentic feature by being cooked and cut into pieces on a vertical rotisserie, Turkish doner has become the most preferred food in Germany and especially among Berliners, who used to prefer their own traditional sausage, currywurst. The popularity of Turkish doner has started after Turks’ immigration to the country and now it is clearly seen from the surveys that this cuisine has received the title as the most preferred food in Germany.

    Hi Rico, a pleasant video but not an exceptional one as per your normal ones. I was expecting a video taking you all over the Northern Side and showcasing the differences between the two.However,I do understand that it would take quite sometime for this production. Perhaps in the future. I am originally from Egypt but have lived in Sydney AUST for 60 years. What that lady was doing was plucking MOLOKHEYIA leaves,which in turn are cut in very small pieces via a half moon type of knife and mixed with a chicken or meat soup. It is mainly an Egyptian recipe and very popular in Egypt and is delicious.
    I am appalled how THICK in the head some people are,especially when you’ve made it abundantly clear right at the beginning of your video that politics is to be kept out and just showcasing what it’s like to cross the border and spend the day on the other side.Unfortunately some people CAN’T help themselves but drag politics just to stir unpleasant feelings.
