Eileen Aldis Taipei was the most exotic for me ... again traveling for work. That was literally the first time I used chopsticks. Love the meat centered cuisine of Bosnia, too. ❤️
@@robwilliams2410 Ooh that's a really good answer. We already know how much I loved the food in Taiwan... 😂I'd really like to visit Bosnia, too, but haven't heard much about the food so that's good to know. Sounds like your work brings you to some interesting places ❤️
@@apojhe1488 In the USA for example I went to an ok College over $120k back in 1996, I'm still paying for it. Could not get a job after school for 2 years. Just walking into a hospital will cost me, with insurance $1500 to 3000k. My Health insurance is $300 a month, much better than my Brother, who pays $4700 a month just for Health insurance. People from USA fly to Turkey to get surgeries and dental work cause it is crazy expensive here. I'm not even going to get into rent and utilities, Yes people love from over seas Love it in Turkey, cause it is affordable and great hospitals transportation and systems. Believe me people of Turkey should also love it, cause they get access to all that good stuff for free
The 4 majors cities that made me really excited Venice, Capetown, Kanagawa, and the only city that makes me come back over 15 years, is İstanbul. I can see how you kept smiling all the time that what I feel every time the captain says ladies and gentlemen we ré about to land at turkish airport .. It's like hes saying you won the lottery. At that moment I'm the most happiest person in the world until the depart day. Turkey is unique.
Hi! I love how you expressed that it's like winning the lottery! Clearly I haven't spent as much time in Istanbul as you but it didn't take long at all for me to understand why you'd want to keep going back. I feel the same way!
Hey Stefanie! Wow, that's really exciting. I think October sounds like a great time to visit as well. We made a bunch of videos there if you'd like to see more before your trip. Here's the playlist: th-cam.com/video/TFBfpM6nZ-k/w-d-xo.html If you're still trying to figure out where to stay, I'd recommend checking out the video about the Asian vs European sides to help you decide. We did both and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Hope you have a wonderful time!
Love Istanbul, one of my favourite cities in the entire world! Thanks for sharing, looks like you both had a great time - can't wait to see the rest of the series 👍
Thank you! Looking forward to sharing more videos soon! I can now say the same by the way...it quickly became one of my favourite places. Endless inspiration ❤️
hey you two sweet people. It is not only pleasure to make our guest happy but also we are happier when we see our guest are enjoying their every moment at our home in Turkey. Absolutely amazing to watch some decent and honest videos like this which are showing tiny bit of our beautiful Istanbul but there are million other stuff to do and to experience as well. Just wanted to let you know it is making me so happy to watch you eating our food and really enjoying it. Hard to explain it but it is real pleasure to see. Thank you very much for sharing such a nice video of Istanbul with your followers and being very honest about your feelings when you were experiencing our city. hugs.
I love your excitement and energy! It's been 3 years since I left Istanbul (after living there for 7 years) and you've made me sooo nostalgic for this incredible city! Thank you!
You both are extremely positive and your reactions are so genuine. You shot videos as volunteer Turkey tourism representative. Selling sahlep and lokma in cold Canada is a good idea. :)))
I loved the culture, atmosphere, and of course the incredible architecture. The outdoor dining and listening to the call to prayer from the minarets was pretty memorable as well. Just a cool place.
@@EileenAldis I am looking forward to more from Istanbul. You are right about it being magical, it truly is. Some day I would love to go back and see the things I didn't get to see. Thanks for the awesome tour.
@@EileenAldis Well its kinda like NYC with great nature and ancient heritage, 16 millions of people live and the city never sleeps, very very dynamic and ever-changing every other second. New museums, art galleries, restaurants, parks, beaches, all that stuff, you can never keep up with Istanbul's tempo and offers lol even if you are a local from there.
Your tour of Istanbul was a delight to watch. Both faces gleaming with smiles just resonate through the screen into the heart. Love you both and thank you dearly for your efforts.

@@Sabrina.travel.adventures Hi Sabrina! There are definitely more Istanbul videos on the way...look for the next one on Friday! Sorry to hear you missed the premiere! It was fun to all watch together and do the live chat. I'm sure we'll do another premiere though :)
@@EileenAldis yayyy...only way to travel at the moment! We were supposed to go to Norway this friday but they ve put their border up once more (im not blaming them to be honest) but sooo disappointed 😔 I'm really looking forward to watch all your Istanbul videos🥰 xo

25 yıldır Australia Melbourne'de yaşıyorum, videoyu izleyince resmen Türkiye'yi özledim. Salem içmeyeli yıllar oldu, eminönünde balık ekme vs. Evet her ikiside oldukça sempatik ve başarılı, çok güzel tanıtmışlar.
Enjoyed doing the live chat along with your impressions of Turkey. So great to see one of the great historic cities of the world through your eyes. I've never seen a two tier bridge before. Really interesting idea.
Thank you! That was our first time doing a premiere and I thought it was really fun. The bridge is super cool and I loved seeing all the fishermen. There was so much to take in so we took quite a while getting across haha. Probably why we were starving by the time we reached the other side ;)
Şal sana okadar yakışmış ki anlatamam, bayıldım,birbirine çok benzeyen, enerjileri çok benzeyen, mutlu bir çift görüyorum, çok güzel bir video, harikasınız
Hi Eileen and Marc. Long time no see! I'm totally with you. Mind blowing on ancient years. Love your aerial views, nice videotography Marc! Looking forward to more and Welcome back you two. Missed you!! 🥰
Hey Gina! We missed YOU! Yeah, the history in Istanbul is just so incredible and we felt so stimulated there. Glad you liked those drone shots! Aren't they gorgeous?! So cool to see the huge mosques and city views from the sky :)
I'm a turkish guy and I would say Istanbul is the most amazing city I've ever seen. There are lots of monuments and touristic places to visit such as : The blue mosque, Ayasofya, the galata tower, the maiden's tower, the dolmabahce palace, the topkapi palace, the bosphorus bridge, the eyyup mosque, the new mosque, the istiklal avenue, the grand bazaar, the suleymaniye, some musees and other places... Don't forget to do a cruise by boat.I did it, that was wonderful with a great view over the city while the sun was shining :) I'm glad you enjoyed your trip

Perfect opening:) We're late getting to this first in this series because we moved to Biloxi and now we are hunkering down waiting for these two hurricanes, but LOVING THIS EPISODE. So many traveler's say how amazing Istanbul is and wow, your capturing both the foodie fun and beauty of it. Just wondering if this was before the pandemic?

4:25 Sahlep: Salep, also spelled sahlep or sahlab,[note 1] is a flour made from the tubers of the orchid genus Orchis (including species Orchis mascula and Orchis militaris). These tubers contain a nutritious, starchy polysaccharide called glucomannan. Salep flour is consumed in beverages and desserts, especially in the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire, notably in the Levant where it is a traditional winter beverage. An increase in consumption is causing local extinctions of orchids in parts of Turkey and Iran.[1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salep
Glad you enjoyed it! We just shared our video inside Hagia Sophia if you'd like to check it out: bit.ly/visithagiasophia. It's from December 2019 while it was still a museum :)
Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately we're not in Turkey anymore (this was before the pandemic), but we did find sahlep packs at the store to take home :) I LOVE going to the grocery store when we travel and always do. ❤️
@@EileenAldis Just came across your videos, all lovely! Had to mention though, Sahlep is a seasonal drink, sold almost exclusively during winter in Istanbul. Should go well in Canada throughout the year ;)
@@EileenAldis Yes. I have been there only at the new airport for few hours. I can't wait to go back and explore the city (and definitely the food too haha)
Tremendous video. Great historic crossroads -site of the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire. Always wanted to visit such a great place and as you did try new foods.
Hi John! I'm so happy you're as excited by Istanbul! It's truly a unique city steeped in rich history. I felt very inspired and sort of giddy at it all. There will be more Turkish foods to come in this series... :)
I love your videos! I feel like I’m there with you. You always set the mood with the sights and sounds. The food looked amazing. Eating your way through new places is a must! It’s a place I will probably never visit but, I would love to go there now! Thanks!
hey whats up im a travler in turkey and if you want to make the best videos of your travel in turkey don't worry I got you dm me on my Instagram page its shakar_travel i will take you places where you have never seen before
Hey Scott! Sorry you missed the live chat too but hopefully we can do another premiere - it was fun :) Nice to finally get these videos out and start a new series!
Yes you could heard ''döner'' in germany because there are 4 million Turkish people in here and some of them have a doner shop . Its Turkish food and really popular and i can see relaxing on your face when you were walking on the park during praying and you are right there is magicial atmosphere there, even i live in Istanbul everytime when i went there i can feel and smell this magical atmosphere
and another thing about İstanbul is : i discover a fountain near my home .it was always there but i just discover and i learn that the fountain is about 200 years old and i said '' aa its new thats why i couldnt discover it .200 years old building is new for us . And there is more building istanbul like 3000 years old
I think this video was shot in the winter. August would be crazy to wear winter jackets because it was too hot: D, a very cosmopolitan country, which brings together the various cultures in Turkey. there are all kinds of people. There are all kinds of historical places, food, beaches, forests, wonderful geographical structures. and football, edily Turkey is followed by a great passion for football and a great stadium. Turkish people are excited, fun, friendly, paced and interesting. There are people of all colors and languages with blonde and brown hair. Welcome back to this beautiful country.
As a turkish guy living abroad, I really liked your video. Haven't visited istanbul in the last 9 years. There is something magical in that city. It makes my heart beat faster whenever I visit!
Hi! I'm so glad to hear that and I completely agree that there's something magical about the city. Even the light feels different somehow. Curious where you're living now?
@@EileenAldis Yea I like opeth snow and sahlep too much. I live in ankara which is a cold city. Not as much as canada but. when it snows it really snows non stop. I like watching flakes goes down while listening music.
Hey there I have been watching your videos for the past 2 days, especially the Turkish part because I had lived there for almost 2 decades. The pretzel aka Simit is made of sour dough and sprinkled with sesame on top and the Bagel aka Achma is also baked out of sourdough :) You are right this Sahlep aka Saloop is mad of a species of Purpulish Orchids and mixed with flour and pure milk fermented and boiled :) FYI these orchids will be extinct within a decade because of the increased consumption of Sahlep or Salep :) Have fun both of you and be safe :)

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately we're not in Turkey anymore (this was before the pandemic), but we did find sahlep packs at the store to take home :) I LOVE going to the grocery store when we travel and always do. ❤️
@@EileenAldis Nice to hear that you bought sahlep 😂 love you ❤️
@@NONAME-ee5ib Love back! 😁
@@EileenAldis Just came across your videos, all lovely! Had to mention though, Sahlep is a seasonal drink, sold almost exclusively during winter in Istanbul. Should go well in Canada throughout the year ;)
I can't wait to go there InshAllah. Beautiful city and great people.
An incredible place to visit :)
@@EileenAldis Yes. I have been there only at the new airport for few hours. I can't wait to go back and explore the city (and definitely the food too haha)
Tremendous video. Great historic crossroads -site of the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire. Always wanted to visit such a great place and as you did try new foods.
Hi John! I'm so happy you're as excited by Istanbul! It's truly a unique city steeped in rich history. I felt very inspired and sort of giddy at it all. There will be more Turkish foods to come in this series... :)
Welcome to Turkey 🇹🇷❤️

"Ö" is almost pronounced like the second "e" in "emergency", the "u" in "urgent" or the "i" in "James T. Kirk". 🙂

Alles schöner mit Döner
Wow, that's pretty accurate
And you can see how to pronounce "ü" on "u" in "accurate" lol
I am Turkısh man, You are awesome.We are grateful
Thanks so much! We love Turkey ❤️
bir türk olarak istanbullu samimiyetle anlattığınız için şahsım adına tşk ederim
I was born and grew up in Turkey . I live in Toronto, Canada.While watching this video, I felt like I am in Istanbul.
I'm glad to hear that! Greetings to you in Toronto - we used to live there :)
Ahh darn missed the live chat but so glad to have you back! Yes I can see the giddiness in both of you! No doubt you have returned with a bang!
Hey Scott! Sorry you missed the live chat too but hopefully we can do another premiere - it was fun :) Nice to finally get these videos out and start a new series!
Welcome to Turkey, we expect more of you love🌹🙈
Thanks so much! :)
Yes you could heard ''döner'' in germany because there are 4 million Turkish people in here and some of them have a doner shop . Its Turkish food and really popular
and i can see relaxing on your face when you were walking on the park during praying
and you are right there is magicial atmosphere there, even i live in Istanbul everytime when i went there i can feel and smell this magical atmosphere
and another thing about İstanbul is : i discover a fountain near my home .it was always there but i just discover and i learn that the fountain is about 200 years old and i said '' aa its new thats why i couldnt discover it .200 years old building is new for us . And there is more building istanbul like 3000 years old
I think this video was shot in the winter.
August would be crazy to wear winter jackets because it was too hot: D, a very cosmopolitan country, which brings together the various cultures in Turkey. there are all kinds of people. There are all kinds of historical places, food, beaches, forests, wonderful geographical structures. and football, edily Turkey is followed by a great passion for football and a great stadium. Turkish people are excited, fun, friendly, paced and interesting. There are people of all colors and languages with blonde and brown hair. Welcome back to this beautiful country.
Hello! We shot this in December 2019 :) Thanks for your welcome and lovely comment ❤️
Welcom Turkey👏
You are so sweet😍

Great video. Thank you.

Welcome 🇹🇷🙏
Thank you :)
As a turkish guy living abroad, I really liked your video. Haven't visited istanbul in the last 9 years. There is something magical in that city. It makes my heart beat faster whenever I visit!
Hi! I'm so glad to hear that and I completely agree that there's something magical about the city. Even the light feels different somehow. Curious where you're living now?
@@EileenAldis I am in Boston.
@@bmetal2 What a great city and lots of history there as well.
Since Sahlep is mostly a winter drink. You should try drinking it under heavy snow in Canada while watching slow from your window. It warms your soul.
You’ve just painted a very cozy picture I’d like to recreate 😍
@@EileenAldis and listen face in the snow by opeth during enjoying this cozy atmosphere
You sound like you’re taking from experience haha ;) Have you done this?
@@EileenAldis Yea I like opeth snow and sahlep too much. I live in ankara which is a cold city. Not as much as canada but. when it snows it really snows non stop. I like watching flakes goes down while listening music.
yes sahlep same familia with orkide flower
Thank you!
Voovvv!! Amazing city beautiful people I love Turkey ❤️🇹🇷
Yes! We loved it too :)

Hey there I have been watching your videos for the past 2 days, especially the Turkish part because I had lived there for almost 2 decades. The pretzel aka Simit is made of sour dough and sprinkled with sesame on top and the Bagel aka Achma is also baked out of sourdough :)
You are right this Sahlep aka Saloop is mad of a species of Purpulish Orchids and mixed with flour and pure milk fermented and boiled :) FYI these orchids will be extinct within a decade because of the increased consumption of Sahlep or Salep :)
Have fun both of you and be safe :)
Guys you’re amazing !!
Hoşgeldiniz
teşekkür ederim!
LOVED this video !
Turkey is different than I may have imagined!
Thank you! It's truly unique and full of wonder.
Salep made of dried roots of orchids....That happy smile suits you well Eileen😀😅
Thanks! Lots of reasons to smile visiting Istanbul :)
Welcome to Istanbul.
You are a very sweet couple.
There is much more to visit and eat.
We wait again.
