      Gabriel, question for you please: Was part of the movie filmed there?
      (Trivia tidbit: The daughter of my parents' best friends married the film's editor, Richard Chew. My sister and I got free star wars tee shirts from him. It would have been such fun to have met George Lucas.)

      And thank you always for your replies to me.
      Too many folks are so rude here on YT. You, Jean Voronkova and Robe Trotting are some of the few people who care to reply to me, and that is nice of you. Maddie Gold and Tangerine Travels are other good people. But, by and large nice people out here seem to be few and far between.

      Wondering if you can help me. Looking to take a round trip taxi from Kajuraho to Kalinjar fort. Can you tell me approximately what you paid and if possible the name of the taxi company. Thanks in advance!

      @@Dr.Mzungu I don't remember exactly, maybe around $50 for a taxi from Khajuraho to Chitrakoot one way. I think I mentioned the price in this video: ua-cam.com/video/R7KD4p_j2iQ/v-deo.html It wasn't with a taxi company but with a local person who I found through my hotel. So you can just ask at your hotel and they should be able to arrange something.

    Thanks for showing that place, I didn't get there to see that spot. What I like about Turkey, is it seems to have some of the oldest dwellings for our earliest ancestors and we can enter them and explore and touch the past. Turkey is truly blessed promise land, for thousands of years.

    Nice places. The word Marhaba is not actually Turkish but it is derived from the Assyrian phrase Mar Khobba (Mar Hobba) meaning The Lord is Love (God is Love) The Assyrians are the people of Assyria today known as Iraq under arab rule. The Turks learned the word while the Ottomans occupied Lebanon, Syria, Iraq for over 400 years.

    Although the cave homes look abandoned, many still have owners .....families that used them up to a few decades ago and now have houses in the town but still consider these caves theirs and may use them still for storage etc. There are at least several that are still lived in and it would not surprise me to see the younger generation return to them as well as the cost of living goes up in Turkey.

    I can see you living peacefully in one of those caves with solar panels and satellite internet!
    Very entertaining. One question tho , the government allows people to simply move into those caves and take over? This area should be off limits to vagrants and designated as a national park and protected. It is a shame if they let them get destroyed and filled with trash and cars etc.It is a national treasure for Turkey. I was appalled at the state of these dwellings and surroundings.Such a beautiful area.

I think in the future you're going to see more of that each time you go out there. You know Gabe there's someone impersonating you on telegram claiming you won some prize sounds like a scam I didn't go for it.

    Just ballpark figure in Canadian dollar

      @GabrielTravelerVideos  2 роки тому +1

      I'd say a rough estimate would be $2,000 USD/month, so that's $12,000 USD for six months. Just a rough guess, it could be less or more all depending on how you travel. But that's $65 a day which seems like a good average. India and Nepal will of course be cheaper than Greece and Turkey.
