- Istanbul, the city where east meets west, and our first stop back on the European continent after half a year in Asia! We really enjoyed Istanbul, both because of its delicious food (Turkish breakfast is probably my favorite of all breakfasts I've tried), but also because of its beautiful architecture (like the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Galata Tower). Join us as we spend a day just walking around, drinking tea, and simply just enjoy this beautiful Turkish city!

Simit is a stable snack in all around Turkey. I love it with the breakfast, but if I am walking, I just buy one without cheese or nutella.
I personally like the ones with cheese the best 😁
Okay, you have traveled a lot in the alleys of Istanbul. But I congratulate you because you ate it by dipping pieces of bread just like folk songs in the melemen breakfast. Just like 80 percent of folk turks. ❤
That's the only way to eat it 😁
Workers generally eat a simit with tea(sometimes with juice) as breakfast while going to their work in the morning. Also when you are walking around town and you get hungry you also eat simit. It's a popular snack.
It's really tasty, so I get why! 😁
Bienvenue dans la Turquie d’Europe de l’Est, mes amis ❤🎉
👍👍👍
Heres something you may find interesting. :)
The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'......
.....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :)
In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name, partially or fully.
Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages,
but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :)
Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's.
The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to',
just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like
Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc.
Basically, the use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix in country names like
Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on.
Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia).
The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old.
Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble (to sound like) 'Türkiye'
we got various spellings like;
Turq-uía (in Spanish),
Turch-ia (in Italian),
Turq-uie (in French)
Turk-ei (in German)
Turk-ey (in English)
Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named turkey....
...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' to define 'Turkish Chicken'...
....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc.
In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German,
but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years.
Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas.
Basically we 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. ;)
Interesting explanation, I've never really thought about that! I meant no offence saying "Turkey", it just takes some time getting used to a new word (like I still accidentally refer to Czechia as the Czech Republic sometimes)!
@@realvoluntaryexile Oh yeah, many who still use the old name do so because of been used to it :) which is normal and very understandable, some things do take time.
You both have a wonderful trip and best wishes. :)

欢迎来到东欧的土耳其🇹🇷🎄🎋🎇🧋🍧
Just like the Turks, it was very nice to dip bread while eating😂
Have a nice trip❤ I was born and grew up in Istanbul. I cannot even say I have seen half of the Istanbul. Too many things to see! I recommend Balat to visit🐈
Thank you 😊
beagle(simit) is a good option for breakfast. We eat usually
It's very tasty!
şakşuka is turkish too lol
Wolud you say "Two Europeans being impressed by Oslo" or "Two Europeans being impressed by Paris"? I don't think so. Istanbulites are also Europeans and Istanbul is in fact one of the key cities of European civilization. Not just when it was a Byzantine city, but also when it was the capital of the Ottoman Empire. For hundreds of years Ottoman Istanbul was one of the largest trading and cultural centers in Europe. So please, don't go there and see yourself as "people coming from Europe", people there will find it funny. You are in many ways, in the capital of Europe.
You are kinda right, and I did not intend to offend anyone! However, we are (me and my girlfriend) from two different european countries so it was simply the easiest way to describe us!
If you don’t have money don’t travel.
What you hold in your hand is most famous food in Türkiye so called Simit. So you two european, We are 85 Million Türks and 1 of them is me wish you pleasent stay in our Country .
Thank you very much 😄
it,s name Gözleme.
wait a minute, isn't Turkey a European country anyway?
Some say it is, some say it's not, but it has one part in Europe and one part in Asia! (we were on the european side in this video)
@@realvoluntaryexile ohh, until now I thought Turkey was in Europe, I guess education in America is a bit weak
🤣
😂
🎉 Nice video. I hope in the future, my Small Travel Channel can grow yours. Maby you have some tips? 😢
The only tip I can give is just keep going!
@@realvoluntaryexile that’s actually brilliant, there’s no other way honestly 😂
Lovely..enjoy your stay❤
Thank you 😊
"tWo EurOpeAnS" lol OK
"One Swede and one German" is a bit too long, don't you think? 🤔
Hello two Europeans 🎉
