    It felt wonderful to have your father back in Istanbul after so many years...The father's speech, especially at the end of the video, shows what a visionary and quality person he is.

    Ahhhh I was born in the US but my parents are from Turkey and seeing this just warmed my heart. I haven’t gone in 6 years and whenever I see someone post from Turkey it makes me miss it even more. I’m glad you and your family had a good time. And kudos to dad! Speaking great Turkish 😊

    I just discovered your channel and am reexperiencing so much of my own adventures now! I just went back to Istanbul this past May and took my mother with me. For a couple of people from "nowhere", Virginia, it was fun to see her awe and wonder at everything Istanbul had to offer: the history, culture, people, sights and sounds, and of course crossing the Bosphorus!!!!!!!!!!!
    You have a fantastic channel! May God bless your future travels! 😁

    Hey Elena! Glad you and your family enjoyed your trip in Istanbul! And thank you for the beautiful depiction of the city. Fun story: I was actually coming to the meetup and I was in Taksim but I unfortunately missed it because I confused the location as the Taksim square is huge lol. We even dm'd, but I mixed up the meetup place, and thought the meetup wasn't happening or something when I didn't see you, and ended up in a near art exhibition instead. I was so sad that I couldn't make it but it's wonderful to see that you met local people and chatted with them, wish I was there too but maybe in the future!

    Istanbul is endlessly fascinating, however, like NYC is to the US, London is to the UK, Istanbul is to Turkey, those cities are not good representations of the country's they exist in. Absolutely enjoy each and every destination, they are all must see's however, make sure to keep things in perspective, go deeper and go further to explore a country, it's people and it's culture.

    • @curiousteletabi2696
      @curiousteletabi2696 2 года назад +1

      Not, it’s not - Turkey isn’t what Paris or London are for their respective countries - it’s just a too-crowded Metropol with too many migrants from everywhere: Essentially like Barcelona which its local culture is erased while the city itself has way too many crowded by tourists and “expats”, just with fewer refugees.

We lost touch when I moved back to the States. Every since then Turkey has held sway over my imagination and I have always wanted to go. Anyway this video was very beautiful Elena and only increased my desire.
