    Hey brother. I really enjoyed your video. You have been misinformed. Unlike the Europeans and the Americans, the Ottomans did not participate in slave trading. That is why there is a very small population of African Turks. The African Turks were free citizens of the Ottoman Empire that extended into Africa.

      That is not entirely true. The empire was a significant part of the trade before it was cool!
      It was mostly the other way around though. Ottomans enslaved populations in its western areas and beyond -as well-. Skin color did not have much to do with the trade there. That's the important difference.
      Edit: added - as well - to remove an implication.

    Taksim is the center of the city, but it is not the most touristy place. That honor goes to Sultan Ahmet. That’s where the most tourist attractions like the Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Grand Bazaar and Sarnich etc are located. It is where the original city was located. You can get there by metro.The grand Mosque you saw was built just a few years ago, doesn’t have any historical significance. It is literally a knockout of the historic mosques like Blue Mosque and the Sulayman Mosque in the historic center.

    The drummer at the end is a "Ramadan Drummer" that patrols the neighborhood to wake people for "sahur" (the last (or first) meal of the day before the sun rises. This is an Ottoman tradition. The drummers bid on neighborhoods to get this job every year. They get paid in tips that they collect by going from door to door - I think twice in the month of Ramadan.
    If the guy paid him something that was probably just another "tip" but not a sanctioned one.

    As an Istanbulite, I first welcome you, have a nice holiday, the places you chose to visit are perfect. Take a Bosphorus tour by ship at the first opportunity. And definitely go to the Princess Islands by ship. Greetings.

    The drummer wakes up the fasters so they can have their last meal before the fasting starts.

    Although most people in our cities pay attention to cleanliness and not throwing garbage on the ground, there are also people who exhibit behavior that throws garbage on the ground. I wish everyone would pay attention to their personal education in this regard, but unfortunately, such people always exist, even if we do not like them.

    The guy who was singing at the end was just doing his job. During Ramadan, these 'Drummers' wake people up to eat their breakfast just before they start fasting. Ramadan is for 30 days and these drummers collect money/tips at the middle and end of Ramadan for services rendered.

    Hey man, here in Kadiköy and at this time of the year, 99,9% of the people you saw on the streets were locals, not tourists. And, yes, Istanbul isn't dirty at all. The Ramadan drummer at the end calls to wake up for the breakfast before daylight, that's his way to earn money, but he doesn't seem to have much success in there ;)

    you are in Kadıköy and even though there might be some tourists around, the entire place is not very touristy. So restaurants in the main road are ok there, you don't need to worry :)
    For Ramadan, other than the small cities in inner anatolia I think, most restaurants will be open and will be packed. No worries, you can eat as you wish

    17:10 It's a traditional Suhoor alarm clock. Sahur means the last meal that Muslims eat from dawn to sunset before fasting during the month of Ramadan. We pay money him for his work.
