Hahahaha food buddies I like that 😂👍 sounds delicious

This one might be my favorite Turkey vid so far… had it all.. Memorable quotes… “No I don’t think that’s right. Sorry. Just point to the picture 🤣🤣.” “So much good flavor in one little wrap.” “ I don’t know who you were kidding when you said…🤣🤣 (had no doubt you’d eat a bunch).” “ Life changing bite.” Suspense and awe… wish we could’ve seen Peter’s initial reaction at the Sphendone Wall…and was soooooo rooting for you guys to find the lone seat!!!! …and the food… the mackerel wrap and the food from the pide shop of your dreams were the two things I’d want to try most from all the food you showed so far… the pomegranate pistachio Turkish delight looked tasty too.. Excellent job! Keep ‘em coming!! 🦃😁😁😁

😁 I think it was about the last video where we started getting really comfortable traveling around istanbul and getting used to the time zone difference. The time zone really screwed us up for the first couple of weeks. Felt like we were going to sleep around 6pm every night hahaha. So on this one we were able to see more and be doing things at a more regular pace without feeling mega sleepy hahaha. Glad you enjoyed it though, though istanbul is awesome the later videos show such a cool side of turkey that was just incredible to see... still no bird though 😅🤤

​@@PeterandYen ...ok, sea turtles....AWWWESOME!!!! Aren't they sooo dang cool??? The other day I saw a snake on the beach and I wanted to write you Peter...just wanted to write "SNAKE!!!!!" When you guys get to Hawaii, after you have your poke, I'll tell you a sure place to see turtles on the beach, and swim with them... Are you guys certified to dive? If so, have you guys done a night dive with manta rays? If not, you must must must put it on your bucket list! It is one of the most otherworldly, incredible, indescribable experiences... have to have to have to do it!!! Not sure if you do this Peter (or if it'll help)...whenever I change time zones, right after checking in, I go for a run... Not only do I get to see the area and scout places to eat, but it seems to help reset my internal clock. I have no scientific evidence to back this up, but it seems to help. Looking forward to the upcoming vlogs... In a future vlog I hope to see Peter activate the nerd in Yen again... Quite entertaining to see you take Yen's brain into nerd alert mode 😁😁😁🚨🚨🚨🤓🤓🤓

Hahahaha was buzzing about that all day. The manta rays sounds incredible. Neither of us can swim 🏊‍♂️ very well and aren't dive certified 😂 i know, I know... work in progress shall we say. But for the manta ray experience hmmm might have to learn. Snakes r soooo cool! Seen heaps of them before 😁 when it's just me and Yen I activate the inner nerd all the time cause I'm more reckless but yen likes to stick to the books 😂 we are very Ying and yang in many areas. Dunno about this run thing though sounds like too much exercise 😂😂😂 but yes the first thing I do is go out for a big walk and try get myself back. After all this traveling I do feel like my navigation has improved a lil.
