That is not entirely true. The empire was a significant part of the trade before it was cool! It was mostly the other way around though. Ottomans enslaved populations in its western areas and beyond -as well-. Skin color did not have much to do with the trade there. That's the important difference. Edit: added - as well - to remove an implication.

Taksim is the center of the city, but it is not the most touristy place. That honor goes to Sultan Ahmet. That’s where the most tourist attractions like the Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Grand Bazaar and Sarnich etc are located. It is where the original city was located. You can get there by metro.The grand Mosque you saw was built just a few years ago, doesn’t have any historical significance. It is literally a knockout of the historic mosques like Blue Mosque and the Sulayman Mosque in the historic center.

The guy who was singing at the end was just doing his job. During Ramadan, these 'Drummers' wake people up to eat their breakfast just before they start fasting. Ramadan is for 30 days and these drummers collect money/tips at the middle and end of Ramadan for services rendered.

@Paltheus 4 ай бұрын

The drummer at the end is a "Ramadan Drummer" that patrols the neighborhood to wake people for "sahur" (the last (or first) meal of the day before the sun rises. This is an Ottoman tradition. The drummers bid on neighborhoods to get this job every year. They get paid in tips that they collect by going from door to door - I think twice in the month of Ramadan. If the guy paid him something that was probably just another "tip" but not a sanctioned one.

The “average Turk”. There used to be such a thing in the 80’s and 90’s. People looked a certain way more than not but, now there are a lot of Turks with natural blonde hair and green or blue eyes. Or black hair with deep blue eyes , even an occasional red head. Turks from Turkey are mostly immigrants from the Ottoman era, so they’re very mixed. The true Turks have dark hair and Asian eyes, like the Turks of the Turkish Republic s of Russia. Because Turks came from East Asia. Some stayed in Turkey and others migrated north. For instance Turkish men used to be very hairy but, now they’re not. Evolution 😊..

@cts9213 4 ай бұрын

1:09 Istanbul's public transportation is not very good if you look at the Asian side, though its long term future looks very good because a lot of new metro lines are planned or being built right now. If you live in the Asian side and are not extremely close to the metro, you are forced to use buses, which are extremely crowded and their frequency is very very bad. You can wait for 20 minutes for a bus to come only for it to go at an average speed of 20km/h because of the traffic.
