I'm from Turkey and Malini always asked people if they belonged to the West or the East. Choosing one side always means losing the other side, so Turkey has a chance not to choose one side. We are both East and West, we have lived through such a century and we will continue to live like this.

The Cow , Chapter 2 , Revealed at Al-Madinah by The Holy Spirit ( Angel Gabriel ) to the Last Prophet Muhammed a.s in the early 7th century ; In the name of Allah The Beneficent The Merciful : 115. Unto Allah belong The East and The West , and whithersoever ye turn , there is Allah ' s Countenance. Lo ! Allah is All - Embracing , All - Knowing . 116. And they say : Allah hath taken unto Himself a son . Be HE Glorified ! Nay , but whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth is His . All are subservient unto Him. 117. The Originator of the heavens and the earth ! When He decreeth a thing , He saith unto it only : Be ! And it is . The Glorious Qur'an
I visited it last summer. It's one of my favorite cities in the world.
I travel to Istanbul often. Such an amazing experience every time.

dont come we dont want your kind in our country
What makes Istanbul stand out as a fab city, is it’s heritage, culture and values. I hope it never loses it’s identity as a city that has a deep and beautiful soul. No other city comes close to the richness like Istanbul.

He's exhaggerating. Seriously, Turkey's not North Korea. You just need to mind how you say certain things. In Turkey, you can find a scientist openly calling religious as ''Nonsense'', yes there are backlashes but you can't get in trouble that easily either.

Enjoy your time. I recommend trying the baklava pastries and dondurma ice cream. Also try the lokum sweets. You might be able to bring some over. Also try the authentic donner kebab in Iskender in Istanbul. Real kebab not like the minced garbage in UK chip shops.
I am in love with Istanbul! My love for Turkish culture began when I was 12 years old when my sister's Albanian friend introduced me to one of Tarkan's songs. I finally got a chance to travel to Istanbul when I was in university for an exchange semester in 2015. I've been coming back ever since. I finally moved to Turkey a few months ago to Tekirdag. Hoping in the next 2-3 years I'll be able to move to Istanbul, Beykoz ideally.

I'm thinking of moving in a year or so to Istanbul. I fell in love witht the turkish culture back in 2017. I visted for the first time two weeks ago and I fell in love!
I think you chose the guides who weren't able to show the real 'istanbul'. There's so much more to it. Feel free to reach out to me. The current context is super 'orientalist' i'm afraid..

I watched your video about Beirut. a City I have visited many times a great video from any aspect. I can't say the same about this. I don't know if is the only one from instabul but in this one you're scratching only the surface. excellent cinematography as always.
Can’t put my finger on why but Istanbul reminds me quite a bit of Mexico City. Both megacities with a fast changing identity from rapid development with defined pockets of historic areas and neighborhoods populated by young politically active people, nightlife, street food and a Mediterranean climate.
Another outstanding presentation, Malini. Thank you.
no matter conservative or secular, it exists in many other religions & other parts of the world. when we look at the statistics, even most of the Christians living in the western world are not even religious or conservative. everything has to be balanced. cultural tolerance key to social harmony, don't judge each other, just relaxs n enjoy your life.❤
Awesome video as always, and I wished if you went deeper into the history of the city and its dynamics, it felt like scratching around the surface.
I love how patiently encouraging he was in you tasting the food! And good on you for being open to it.
Another great video! Cant wait to see the next one.
masterful documentary.. I was just there. I miss it so much! thank you for this!!

Türkiyeyi istanbulu bir arap ortadoğu ülkesi şehri gibi göstermek istemişsin. Müzik seçimlerinden belli. Art niyetli vlog
Wow I ❤️❤️ it a lot. It was a video on brain and belly i.e. history n food. It not only showed different angles of the city from the normal ones but the past vis a vis the present. Adorable 😍. I wish you had visited other main cities. They are amazing with valuable culture, lifestyle, landscape, history n other settlements. Your video was very much different from others. Best of luck. Happy travelling n TC....🌹☺️
Istanbul is the beautiful city .. nice vlog
I really enjoy your videos, thanks!

This has to be the best travel account on youtube. No BS, no goofy cliches, and very nuanced. I've met few Brits that would try sheep brain, btw. Way to break the brits abroad stereotype
How wonderful to visit a period Ottoman house. Thank you for taking us along.
I love Istanbul,,so watch all the uploads of that city,,but your documentary is the best one I ve seen so far,,it covers so many topics ,,of that place,,,content is very good 👍
Awww man I’m so gutted it’s short though, I was enjoying it so much
7:37 your producers set you up Malini , I give you credit for wonderfully describing yucky food as “Different” 😂
Only love and respect for this beloved city. There is nothing quite like it in the whole world! Greetings and love from Greece
Another great video malini
I think it is worth mentioning here that the importance of Istanbul and The Bosphorus together with Dardanelles are that they are providing a passage for the Russian military and the navy into the Mediterranean and back to the Black Sea through Marmara.
Very enjoying video. Thanks.
Just discovered your channel, absolutely brilliant, reminds me of the 'lonely planet' travel guides of the 90's..❤❤❤

Turkey is a very beautiful and historical land. People are so kind and I love this land. I personally think the Turkish should find out their own way to "develop" this country, because of the historical and exotic, uniqueness of the location. The bridge between Europe and Asia is an advantage in culture and economics.
Tripe soup so good. Would love to go to Istanbul for the cuisine. I’m used to menudo which is a treasure in our family from Mexico.
You had me at follow the cat xx love the vlog

Malini, really excellent video. I believe Russia, like Turkey, is also transcontinental w/territory in both Europe and Asia. Yet, as you said, Turkey is a bridge between two worlds. Cant wait to visit!
Istanbul is not just a bridge between east and west. In fact, he is an open lover to everyone from the East and the West. He loves you regardless of your ignorance and poverty, but when you learn a little and earn some money, you leave him and run away to other cities.
Fantastic footage and to hear the different guides perceptions of the culture and aged integration and acceptance of other faiths. Beautiful.
