I'm from Switzerland and I was in Istanbul last month, it's the most beautiful city I've visited in my life, I've been to many countries but I've never seen anything like Istanbul, it's just beautiful and the people are just great ! I'm even thinking about buying a house!
Arab city
@@curtisthehekek3358 I'm sure that Istanbul is more beautiful than your city where you come from! I think you don't even have the courage to say which country you come from😂 Yes, in Istanbul there are a lot of Arabs who go on vacation and Turkey has taken in over 4 million refugees. Someone should do what Turkey did! great respect for Turkey
@@user-qq4fi2sh2d if you like istanbul so much you can go pakistan ıraq syria also thats your places 😁
Too crowded, try Ankara!
Antalya,Muğla,İzmir searching on internet
I spend one and a half months of the year in Turkey. One month working, fifteen days vacation. One day I got sick. I rested for three days. While I was thinking about what to do now in this sick situation, my colleagues came to me for three days, checked how I was and brought pots of food. Even my mother didn't do this to me 😅 Turks are good people 😊
thanks for being open
Great video 👍
all the advantages and disadvantages you mentioned... so true 🙂
Thanks for the insights and also for pointing out the drawbacks which is very important to know, especially for those who want to move there. I like your videos very much, you seem so natural, beautiful and sweet! Have a good day, greetings from Germany💛❤
thanks! 😊
Percect as always
We are very happy that you are happy to live in our country dear Yuliya :) You and your family are really nice. I hope every day you live here will be more and more beautiful for you and your family :)
Thank you! 😃
%90 of the time if a driver does something super annoying and out of the rules they have plate number “34-Istanbul” people who live outside of Istanbul would agree on that. 😅
Teşekkürler🌷İstanbul💕
Heres something you may find interesting. :)
The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird ''turkey''.
Name of my country has always been Turkiye, that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means ''land of/belonging to''...
...just like the Latin suffix -ia in such countries as Latv-ia, Roman-ia, Eston-ia, Austr-ia, Austral-ia etc etc. Another example; decades ago Czechoslovakia Republic changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia).
Anyways, most likely the Latin -ia suffix was derived from the Turkish version -iye,
as Turkish is much much older.
Because in old times people of different languages could only pronounce it as their languages allowed them, we got various differences in spelling like Turchia (in Italian), Turquie (in French) and Turkey (in English) all trying to resemble the pronounciation of ''Turk-ia'' thus Turkiye.
Mind you this was way BEFORE the animal we currently know as 'turkey'' was found by the europeans when they explored the 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 at the time, so they named the bird ''Turkey Fowl'' meaning ''Turkish Chicken''.....
....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), Rhodesian Ridgeback (because it's from Rhodesia), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc.
In time you don't get to call the Greek Harehound as simply as ''Greek''; or you don't call the British Terrier as ''British''; or the German Shepherd as ''German'', but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just ''turkey'', and has been going on for hundreds of years.
Now in 2023, this is causing confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their OWN country on the atlas, this ''confusion over the naming'' needed to be corrected.
So my country decided to rectify this confusion that has been going on for so long and corrected the name in other languages to Türkiye, which it always was, we basically 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. ;)
My husband and I are relocating to Istanbul in 2 months! I've been quite anxious about the move but, your vlogs have been of great comfort to me. ❤
Good luck!
I like how you show the not so nice parts of the city when you're talking about the negatives and the nices parts are spared for the positives :)
friendship of peoples is your mission!)
hello, greetings from Indonesia, I really like all your coverage on TH-cam.

İstanbul'a hoş geldin,sen ve bebeğin diana çok güzel ve çok tatlı 🥰
Evet, Turk Insanlar cok Altin Kalp var...i was stuck in istanbul for 4 months during the height of the pandemic...i still remember the health minister announcing the curfew to begin at midnight, that annocement came at 10pm, my landlord banged on my door dundee, dundee!!!!. get some water, get anything !!!!after midnight we dont know what will happen.....well me, and waht seemed and half the population of Istanbul flooded the streets that night in desperation, to find food and water, BIM,MIGOs,SOK shelves were all bare within like 30 mins...crazy crazy time, but we survived....but Turkish people are the best!!!!!...i was in a poor neighbourhood south of Oman cadessi yet the people made me very welcome...i miss my Su boregi and chi evey morning
👍👍👍 Please say hello to Diana.🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞🧿🧿🧿
Hello, I really enjoy watching your videos. You are a really good observer and you help me understand foreigners' opinions about our country. You are really right about the economy, everything has been getting worse day by day for the last 6-7 years and life is now very expensive. Istanbul is a crowded city and continues to receive uncontrolled immigration. I hope you live a happy and peaceful life with your beautiful family. I wish you good luck. Greetings from Ankara
Thank you! 😊
I wish you a good day, I also live in Istanbul. We have pharmacists on duty who work outside business hours. You do not need to go to the nearest pharmacy to see which pharmacy is open, it is published as a list on the internet. In addition, since Istanbul is both a living city and a production city, not every neighborhood is comfortable for living. In some areas of Istanbul, you can find neither garbage on the streets nor cars on the sidewalks. Naturally, I recommend that a foreigner coming to Turkey get tips about life in Turkey from your close and trusted Turkish friend.
Istanbul Europes Biggest/Largest City and one of the Biggest cities in the world a Mega city with over 20 Million people and a super Modern City
Ive Been to Turkiye for 7 times and still can't get enough of it.
hi, im living for 5 years in istanbul. i hate this place... but i.. love it
Thanks a lot for all the useful information.......! So, I would like to ask you, after one year in Istanbul, which area do you recommend for a foreign family to choose for living ( buying a flat) in Istanbul?
Hello! Thanks for your question, but for sure I’m afraid I can’t tell you this info correct, because this whole year we had experience living only in one area is Şişli. And I’d like to say that it’s pretty nice place for living! Also I like districts Sariyer and Caddebostan, but again I didn’t live there. If you don’t need to be close to business centers I think Asian side of Istanbul is perfect!
Turkia 🇹🇷❤️
Hi Yulia. Thanks for a great video. ✌We need more videos like this, I mean videos that express honest opinion about our (mega)city. I only watched the first 4ish minutes, but let me ask you and other Europeans: Why do you select Taksim and surroundings for housing? I mean I lived (12 years) in Northeastern US, but never in Manhattan. Here, I live in Etiler and it is very comfortable to get anywhere from here and you have all the amenities at your disposal. Honestly, for me (as an Istanbulean as far as it goes - even my grandmother's parents are from here) Taksim, Eminönü, Sultanahmet, even Şişli and Nişantaşı are somewhat exotic places where none of my friends live and visit. You have to move to the North. One addition after watching the 19th minute, if people can't differentiate between Nescafe or Filter Coffee or Americano, you are definitely in the wrong part of town. Cheers.
😃😅👍🤓

Working like a dog : We use it to underline, we are working hard unwillingly, as a slave Günaydın: It's exact meaning is Sun rised or Day turned to bright. We use for greetings in the morning.
Why did you guys choose İstanbul? How about smaller towns like Fethiye, etc. Also, what's the cost of a home to buy now to obtain residency? Used to be 50, then 75, then $200k.
Hi!! Did you mention a place to buy used furniture in Istanbul? Thank you
No, sorry
all of them true

Privet!

Where are you Yuliya? Long time No see :)

Beautiful city. But how about Air pollution and earthquake risk? Greetings.
About air pollution i can’t say nothing right now since I’m here more then 1 year :) but earthquakes are really scary me but we are prepared all the stuff we need and just hope like it’s gonna be fine. Maybe it’s stupid a little but it is like this for now:)

Istanbullu biri olarak sunu söyleyebilirim İstanbul'un kotu tarafı stres cok fazla var her şeyde.Birde trafiği kotu insanlarda sabir anlayis saygı yok
Sokak hayvanlarina saygı acıma merhamet yok
Elimde sihirli degnek olsa kedi köpekleri koruyabilsem
How much money a couple needs per month to live nicely in Istanbul??
Hello! I think around 3000 usd.
how did you learnt to speak turkish?
Just from the people around me:)
Like! Subscription!

Лев! 🤜
I believe it would be beneficial to include additional information about the prevalence of racism in Turkey. As a Middle Eastern American, I have personally experienced racism and scams while in Turkey.
...Racism? Against a Americunt? No Way :P
Let me explain this from a foreigner's perspective: As incoming immigrants, especially Arabs, become involved in the domestic political issues of the Turks, hostility towards Arabs will increase exponentially. The stupidest thing in the world is to take sides on political issues in a foreign country. My only fear is that until I retire and move to Turkey, the country will definitely close its doors to foreigners, especially due to its Middle Eastern population.
It is very unfortunate and I am sorry as a Turkish person. I've been to many middle eastern countries (for work) and I was welcomed everywhere. This racist or antagonistic attitude has to do with the ruling party and its ideology to take us from a secular to an islamic state. Some Turkish people express their negative opinion (about the ruling party) in unwanted ways. Sorry again for your experience.

>garbage all over the streets
>shows ~3 things
Me: *laughs in New Yorker*
Haha yes I know 🥲 depends which country compare with
Fistik = Pistachio 😄 🤣 😂
Your experience might also have something to do with the fact that you are gorgeous? 😅 Let's be real.
☺️ I’ll take that as a compliment
Istanbulu traffic is still nothing in front of any Indian traffic 😂😂
She's far too young to have to worry about pharmacy hours!
the dirt on the streets is due politics mot of the district are in the hands of chp and they use the money given by the government for supporting their own politic campagne so you have to go to different districts in istanbul and google whıch party is reigning over that district and see if there is a difference between akp party reign and chp party coz akp district city have a good name and chp district mahalle's have a bad reputation for 4 years now
@@curtisthehekek3358 ARE YOU A PAYED İGNORANT TROL TURK OR AN AMATEUR IGNORANT TROL TURK?
when you say bon appetite, you wish much desire to other so they can eat well. saying that at the beginning of a dinner or breakfast makes more sense. afiyet means health. afiyet olsun therefore means "let it be health for you". that's not the same with bon appetite at all and perfect to say to somebody when they are done eating.
- yemek çok güzeldi. şiştim! (food was so good, i'm full!)
- afiyet olsun (let it be health for you, hope all that you ate makes you healtier. more slang version: "yarasın". we especially say that after the person burps.)
ah shit, after i wrote the comment and resumed watching you explained it yourself in the video! lol.
😀
Don't you have an Instagram account?
i think if you are an extravert, turkey is gonna be good for you. but if you are a more reserved person and want personal space turkish people can be annoying. from 0 to 100 in three seconds. suddenly the guy or girl behaves like you are their best friend.
Haha maybe! But this place is really harmonious for all of us 😌
