    The guy who said he was Turkish. Wasn’t. He wasn’t talking Turkish. All these people saying they are Turks. None spoke Turkish. The ones in the clothing shops not Turkish as well. The ottoman clothing etc. none were Turk…..

I know my language and many even admitted they were from somewhere else. So please let me know what u mean by did I decide something

    Nice video bro!
    I miss Istanbul!
    When you enter a shop, they will look at you, determine a price depending on how much they think they can get out of you, it’s normal, you are aware of this from your travels. Just stick to your price like you did, and say you will won’t buy it if it’s more!
    Whatever you do, don’t take a taxi in Istanbul in the area you are!
    Having said this, the people are Amazing!!
    One driver ripped me Off so bad that I forgot my phone in his car! He then drove after me to give it back! He wasn’t after the phone, he just wanted my Money 🤣🤣

    Best thing about Turkey, leaving the SCAMLAND. Half of the store people were looking at you like sharks. So predatory when they see a tourist, such a contrast to what you experience in the Balkans... To all the viewers, just check out the looks he's getting from store owners and workers, they start communicating together like a pack of wolves. 😂
