That is awesome of you guys!

Thank you very much! That must have been a great time. Where did you go in Turkey?

@@FoodandFootprints Istanbul, Ephesus, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Antalya, Fethiye...the list goes on. Two months was way too short. It was full of firsts for me. The people, the food, the rich culture and history, the natural beauty, etc. my mind was blown daily. A mixed-blessing...hyper-inflation was a major issue back then, which made it rough for the locals, but great for travelers on a budget. I hope your adventure is full of unexpected surprises for all of your senses :)

@@steveaustin1984 Wonderful! That is a nice itinerary. We hope so too 🤞Appreciate your support 🙏

It has been a lot of fun so far - really enjoying it here!

That would've been cool, but better this way so you can make a whole trip dedicated to Turkey. So much to see here and Istanbul alone deserves a good chunk of time

Really happy with our decision to come here. Hopefully you make it later this year too!

Yes! Yes! Lots of eateries @ Kadikoy & reasonable area to live!👍🏻🤓

@@joycetan4684 yes, that's home for us 🙂

Totally agree after a few weeks here! Loving Istanbul and Kadikoy is such an awesome area to be. Thank you! Look forward to checking out that lahmacun spot too

@@FoodandFootprints Enjoy yourselves! Kardikoy has lots of interesting eateries. Now I'm missing IST! Can't wait to watch from your lens 😃🤗📽️📸

Haha thanks, guys! Happy to have gotten here safely and smoothly. No easy task during these times as you know well! Lentils and chickpeas were awesome. And we’re definitely into shisha and tea

wow Ken seems familiar and can recommend food to try.. Ken"s dad Turkish .. 🤗

Couldn't agree more! One of the coolest cities in the world that we've been to so far. So much to see, do and eat here. Love Adana kebab too! Will have some Iskender kebab soon too

Appreciate that! 🙏🙏

Definitely is! Thank you

Yes! The cardamom Turkish coffee is our favorite. That gozleme spot is a real gem! Love how you can customize it too

@@FoodandFootprints we have recorded that woman so many times 😂😂😂😂

@@TheMamuchos Can imagine! Love watching them make the gozleme. Look forward to seeing your eventual video(s) from there!

@@FoodandFootprints Romania is coming in a couple of weeks

Oh yes we would love to go to Gaziantep and Adana! Hear that the food is legendary there. Definitely want to make it to the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts too - hope that the fires will be under control ASAP. Would love to support the communities - know they will need as much as possible after these horrible fires. Thank you! Look forward to seeing you guys again

@@FoodandFootprints Add Antakya (Hatay) to the list with Gaziantep + Adana. You wont regret

😂😂 He was too funny

Yesss 🙌🙌

It can be an acquired taste for sure. Key is letting the coffee settle a bit once you get it so the grounds go to the bottom. We love it though!

yes, we have tried letting the grounds go to the bottom…still not a fan 😅

@@JetLagWarriors 😂😂 it’s not for everyone

Haha we were inspired being in a new country with a whole new vibe and cuisine for us after over a year in Southeast Asia!

We can totally see why - love all of the above here so far in Istanbul

@@FoodandFootprints the further you go the different vibes you get... I like Istanbul, Izmir, Cappadocia and Pamukale.... other need to explore.. check out with Travelgamers.. they been exploring Turkey most of the places... arghh.. miss see all of you guys...

Really looking forward to seeing more of the country - it is huge with so much to see! Oh yes we have seen some of Travelgramers' Turkey videos. They really explored a lot. Miss you too!

Really happy to find these vegetarian options to mix in with all the delicious meat and bread dishes here. Drinking cay is definitely a big part of life here as we can tell. Really enjoy it now!

Definitely! And especially with this freshly made bread. Makes all the difference

steve/ivana are u plan to go turkey?

@@jackchan3193 no plans yet! We will be in Romania for another month or two😁

Greece and Turkey can go by ferry.. can go any time....

Likewise 😅🐱🐈

we remembered Steve and Ivana had mentioned of probably going Turkey after Malaysia but decided on Pakistan..

Thank you for watching!

P would love Turkey then! It may be the biggest tea drinking country in the world!

It is! We are really happy to be here and have a whole different change of pace. Thank you!

Great choice! Can imagine you will enjoy Istanbul and it is a great hub to travel around the region. The food is wonderful here and there is so much to see. Excited to explore more of the country too

For sure 👍 Definitely will be trying more

He did! So funny 😂

It is!! Lots of good seafood here

Thank you very much, Zailin! We are very happy to be here and trying to add in some more healthy lifestyle choices into our daily routine.

Thank you very much! We are so happy to be in Turkey and love it so far

Thank you so much! Really happy to be here 😁

😂😂 we did meet up for drinks one night just before they left for Romania

Totally agree after being here for a few weeks now. Comforting dishes

Definitely can’t get enough now 😂

It was delicious!

Thank you!! Hope to meet up with you guys too 🤞

Oh yes! So excited and happy to be here

We did a good job keeping you guessing then. Very excited for the Turkey adventures!

Definitely should try it someday! Very satisfying, especially with this housemade bread

Thanks a lot, guys! Glad you enjoyed this one. Lots more to come 😁

Absolutely! Very charming spot with wonderful food. Haha that’s cool

Both are great drinks! Yup drinking more juices these days here and adding in more healthy options

For sure! Once they saw the camera rolling, they immediately invited us behind the counter. So much fun!

Istanbul is FULL of cats and we are all for it! 😹

Yesss

They are really cool! We still go and buy juice from there almost every day. You’ll see lots more from us about Istanbul and then more of Turkey. We love it here so far and highly recommend Istanbul. The food is wonderful, the hospitality and vibe of the city

They are! Lot of fun and they make great juices. Many friendly people here in Istanbul so far

Awesome you got to visit. It is an amazing city!

Istanbul is definitely an amazing food destination and an incredible city to walk around and ride the ferries. So much to see, eat and do here. Thank you so much! We are enjoying it very much so far

@@FoodandFootprints yay !! 👍👍👍

Thank you so much! Appreciate the love 🙏

They definitely were ready to go when they saw the camera - love their energy! Excellent juices here

Oh yeah! That freshly made bread makes all the difference. Lots and lots of juice - need that extra vitamin C. That lahmacun was too good! Thanks a lot! Very happy to be here

Something for both of you here. Loved how much fun the juice bar guys were when they saw the camera. Thank you!! Always trying to tweak our videos and style. Planning on incorporating more vlogging in upcoming videos mixed with the food

Both are so good! You would absolutely love this lahmacun too

That gozleme is awesome! And eating in Moda Park by the water is a perfect place. We would love to see more in Asia, but now is not the right time.

No eggplant in it. Wouldn't say it tastes fishy unless you don't like mackerel. Yup just cooked on the flat top - the fish was nice and moist

It is delicious!

Haha it was strong! We love this style of coffee. Really an incredible sunset and we are so lucky to be staying nearby

Yes! Very soulful comfort cooking

Thank you!! Lots more where these came from - just the beginning 😁

Thank you!

Thank you so much, guys! We are very happy with our decision so far

We are! Definitely lots of great food here. Thank you!

Hi Gulnar - thank you for watching! Yes, we took a PCR test in Thailand before we arrived in Turkey

Really appreciate the kind words and encouragement!! You are very supportive 🙏

It is really good! Not for everyone, but we enjoy it very much

It is. Thank you so much for buying us coffee! Really appreciate it 🙏

Thank you very much for the suggestions! Perfect timing as we are about to go and travel outside of Istanbul. We have several of those cities on our radar and really looking forward to it. Haven’t read about Konya yet, so we will look into it.

Thank you! We are very happy with our decision. Definitely a beautiful city

He was hilarious! Great juices here

It was soooo good

Can’t beat midye dolma and wine or beer at Moda Park. Beautiful views, great vibes and cute cats everywhere. How can you go wrong?

@@FoodandFootprints impossible

Yesss! Very happy with our decision so far. Istanbul is an amazing city

It is! Such a great place to grab an affordable and tasty meal. Thank you so much! Let’s see how things go 😁

@@FoodandFootprints *May l suggest Egypt. Egypt's new Grand Museum is open. The only museum in the world that is One & Only Like No Other ln the Whole Wide World* *There u go ...*

Would like to make it to Egypt some day 👍

Loving all the cute street cats here! The mussels are a perfect snack and great with beer or wine

Great choice! Hope you have a wonderful time. Ephesus is beautiful!

It is an excellent value, especially with the freshly baked bread!

Highly recommend trying it!

Lahmacun is amazing! Glad you love it too. Yup Turkey is back to normal for now - love that things are open and the energy is high. Great vibe in Istanbul here in the Summer

Some parts of Bangkok's airport were pretty eerie, but the main checkin area was busier than we expected. Thanks a lot! Definitely a learning curve on how to pronounce words in Turkish for us.

Thank you very much for the sweet comment, SK! We are really happy to be here and share our adventures

Glad you enjoyed it, Yasin. Thank you!!

@@FoodandFootprints 😀

We have been telling you!!!! hahaha

😂😂

😂😂😂 you can buy a below average pie in au for $9

Erdogan's stupid policies. He won't raise rates, fights everyone around at the same time, refugees, covid, fires, S400 system, etc all taking there toll.

@@PeterandYen 🤣

It was! We love this neighborhood

Thanks, guys!

It is delicious! We drink it almost every day here

Haha! Normally they don’t cut it up like that, but they did for us. Did what came natural as a New Yorker 😂

Thank you very much, Yasin! Hope you enjoyed it and look forward to sharing more from here

@@FoodandFootprints Wonderful. 😀

Yes! Excited to be here. That juice is wonderful and we drink it almost every day. Definitely a big change food and vibe wise here

No need. We just needed a negative PCR test and had to fill out a health declaration form before we arrived. Think there is a quarantine requirement from a few countries at the moment, but that keeps changing.

@@FoodandFootprints *TQVM for the reply*

You're very welcome!

Look forward to see more of your street food experience in Turkey. D Turkish food, desserts n sweets r all lovely. Hope u guys will show menemen, borek, gozleme, simit, Turkish coffee n tea, baklava, icecream etc.

Yesss!

@@Yasin_Affandi Turkish food is definitely amazing. And you will see lots coming up 😁

@@FoodandFootprints Looking forward to watching more of your lovely Turkish food experience. 😀

@@FoodandFootprints Y'day was a wonderful day for videos. I got 3 out of 4 from my fav vloggers. U guys in Turkey, JetLag Warriors in Romania, Ken in Chiang Mai, what's missing is Travelgramers from Portugal. Otherwise, it's just like u guys with your videos r in Malaysia. 😀

Yes!

@@FoodandFootprints 👍

That combination is a winner! Now will drink more juices with parsley in it after this

😂😂 Thank you! We try

Thank you! We read about Ataturk and he did so much for Turkey. We see why he is so widely admired here

It was really nice! They make great juices at this shop. Interesting - is carrot juice a popular drink in Korea?

@@FoodandFootprints Not really. Just where I happend to live I could get it. :)

Yes! Grateful to be here right now

You guys would LOVE it here! This is the city for you as cat lovers 😻😻
