    The same happened many times with me at Taksim in Istanbul.
    Random guys would come and say “Pakistan or Hindistan”!? And if I said Hindustan, they say “Delhi or Mumbai”!? Further, “Old or New Delhi” they try to show that they are really friendly with your place and ask you to come with them for drinks, I was smart enough to refuse them all the time.
    But, I had a female chinese friend, she was approached by a Turkish guy who asked her to come to his place where he has beautiful collection of Turkish souvenirs, and she went with him! When she reached his place, she didn’t see any souvenirs but found the guys uncle at his place who asked her to dance with them. She quickly called us and shared her location (We were 6 friends from different countries staying together in Sultanahmet locality). I and an Egyptian friend quickly went there to rescue her in time.
    Also, another traveller that i met in Istanbul told me that he was approached by a beautiful Turkish girl at a bar to buy her a drink, when he said no money, she asked him to withdraw from the ATM and he said OK, then went to the ATM together and suddenly 2 big guys joined them and asked him to take all he money he could from the ATM (it was 1 am they were the only ones on that street) and the guy eventually lost around 5,000 USD.
    Turkey is a beautiful country full of amazing people but there are bad people everywhere in the world, and you would find them in Istanbul mostly if youre in Turkey. Turkey is so good that even after all these experiences, it is still my favourite county out of the 15 that I have travelled!

      First of all , there cant be a turkish guy taking a girl into a place and tell her to dance for her uncle as its absurd but if it really happened I apologize for the incident , as for your second experience it's impossible to withdraw such amount in turkey from atm even my business card allows me 2000 usd max. Daily , incidents happen and scammers everywhere but your experiences has no logic .. sorry

      it is true.

Look they are just nice with you and they offer you kindly, nobody force you anything, you go, do and get in trap yourself. you get a high bill because it is what is written on the menu but you didnt read it!. This is what happened us in Germany also and we complained to police, they told us, nobody force you and you didnt read it. So what i mean is that you just need to be smart and open-eye. I have been in many countries including Ukraine, there you get forced physically. worse one is Italy, i almost beat a guy holding my gfs arm forcely.

I did not want any trouble even though he seemed to be a very nice person. I told him I was very tired and want to go back to my hotel and sleep. He told me he will wait for me next day same time at Taksim Square. I never went back at 8pm. Thanks god I did not join him. The baldy guy looked very similar to the one who approached me.

    Varun bhaiya, I was eagerly waiting for your new video. Since, I followed almost all of your trips, I got to know many of your experiences at different continents and places. This one is one of it's kind, especially the trap sequence. I felt really bad to hear from that guy saying 'Bangladeshi people are poor...' and pointing you as"you are not an Indian". I was like- "are you sick man???" Oh God! I guess he has never been to Bangladesh or India. Being an Indian, at one point I was deeply hurt to hear something about my neighbouring nation from an utterly illiterate and drunk person like that. But, at the same time-"even Bangladeshi people are good." touched me a lot. That's the true traveller spirit in you Varun bhaiya. I guess he messed up with the wrong guy. Also, Varun bhaiya, being a true fan of your videos, please try to keep security measures with you when you visit such places. Lots of love for your true spirit as an Indian and also, for my Bangladeshi brethren and friends. Wait continues for the next vlog.
