    23:11 what he said regarding cutting them smaller is true, smaller cut pieces would have allow atmospherinc contact speeding up their drying period causing them to go dry/stale faster.

    Here's something off topic-ish that you may find interesting. :)
    The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'......
    .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :)
    In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name, partially or fully.
    Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages,
    but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :)
    Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's, many times presented as 'Turkiye' in various maps and memoirs by western travellers and cartographers.
    The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to',
    this is just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like
    Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc. The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old.
    Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia).
    The use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix that comes after various country names like
    Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on, so ''-ia/iye'' is the same '-land''
    Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically RESEMBLE (to sound like) 'Türkiye', in time we got;
    Turq-uía (in Spanish),
    Turch-ia (in Italian),
    Turq-uie (in French)
    Turk-ei (in German)
    Turk-ey (in English)
    All trying to resemble/sound like the word ''Türk-iye''.
    Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named by white people as turkey....
    ...during their exploration/invasion of north americas, they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye (as imperial europeans and Türkiye existed at the time formally known as Ottoman State, but collogially it was ''Türkiye'' as present in various historic documents/maps etc, meaning ''land of the Turks''), so they named the bird 'Turkey Fowl' to define 'Turkish Chicken'...
    ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc.
    In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German,
    but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years.
    Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas.
    Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : )
    So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : )
    Best wishes. ;)

    7:20 Most Muslims visit mosques located near their homes. However, since the Hagia Sophia is centrally located, it attracts many worshippers, especially Muslims who are in the city and wish to pray there. Its name holds special significance: Hagia Sophia - "Holy Wisdom."
    I hope you enjoyed your stay in Turkey!

    • @MaxandSidney
      @MaxandSidney  Місяць тому +5

      We will NEVER forget our first few days in Istanbul! It was literally like stepping into a new world of possibilities! A Turkish delight is essentially candy! The real name is lokum and it dates all the way back to the Ottoman Empire and Persia. It’s made with honey, fruit, nuts, and sugar. There were so many different kinds, it was really fun to sample!

    16:08 too cute :))
    Any foreigner in Turkiye when given a price in such ''bazaar'' environments should counter offfer 1/2 or 2/3's the price the seller gives initially. If you like the product, offer them two thirds the price you hear, if you aren't too sure about the product propose half the price with a smile. Nothing to be nervous about, it's your money ! and they are after max profit, so be at ease,
    just don't be fooled by some who try to sweet talk you into a purchase, trying to reel you into their shop with friendly (marketing tactics) invitations, tell them you aren't a customer in the beginning and make sure they understand that you are not a customer, that way any tea of offering they may make wont be a emotional pressure on you to make a purchase you did not want. Yeah just be confident, you don't have to buy anything you do not want, and you have the right to say NO ! some sticky types need that. :)

    Hey brother love the content..
    As for Mary the Quran has entire chapter attested to Mary, mother of Jesus.
    She is one of the highest regarded women in Islam and as for Jesus he mentioned 25 time in quran he is mentioned more than Muhammad peace be upon them both.
    In fact you can't become muslim without believing in prophet Jesus.

    When the shop owners give you tea or coffee or something else , its not because they want you to buy something !! We Turks are hospitable to everyone who visits our country and they dont ecpect something in return !! And believe me when i say that most goods in the bazaar is authentic Turkish and not from China ! People dont want to rip you off , it is what is is and please dont bash the people or the products they re selling !!
