Alright, I'm going to show you the best things to do in Istanbul, Turkey
0:11
Now before the fun, crazy, exciting stuff, first you gotta feel your belly
0:15
And there's nowhere better than Wamaz. In my opinion, this is the best place to eat in Taksim Square
0:21
It has a premium feel to it, modern designs and incredible delicious foods
0:26
foods. I was here the last time I came and I'm here again. Hey, I like what I like
0:44
Now, if you're a thrill seeker like me, you'd love this. A 250 meter long zipline that reaches
0:49
up to 80 kilometers per hour and gives you incredible views of istanbul okay now this
0:56
i've never done so i'm really looking forward to it the ride itself was less than five minutes so a bit anticlimactic but still so worth it
1:17
You've got to try it. Okay, zip line is all done. Flipping heck
1:22
It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I felt really safe and secured
1:27
It wasn't too high as well. Yeah, that was very quick. Like, barely like five minutes
1:32
But yeah, there we go. Zip lining, that's another thing you can do in Istanbul, Turkey
1:37
Obviously, I took a taxi here, which cost me about 250 lira
1:43
I want to see if I can hitchhike back to Taksim Square
1:47
I don't know if that's allowed here or who I'm even going to ask but Currently on the way back
1:52
Note to self, hitchhiking is pretty difficult when you don't speak a language
1:58
Ok now I sure this goes without saying but if you going to get a taxi get one that has a meter in it When I was heading to the ziplining place I was in a rush and the taxi I got didn have a meter in it
2:10
and he just called the price he said 300 I managed to bargain it down to 250
2:15
I've just got a taxi that had a meter in it and it cost me 125 exactly half so I feel like a mug
2:25
but there you go lessons learned get taxis with meters in them
2:29
If you walk along Taksim Square, you'll see many ice cream vendors who want to play with
2:38
your intelligence and reaction time. It's really good fun, so definitely take part in it
2:43
We're on champion! Yes please! Thank you, thank you! Thank you
2:53
for some reason something just feels a bit weird walking down the high street
3:22
licking ice cream. Okay, another one. Whilst you're here, you have to get on one of these
3:31
Now, throughout the day, you'll see many of these trams go along Taksim Square. But to get the best experience
3:36
you've got to just jump on and hold on for dear life. This guy, he's loving the limelight
3:41
He is loving it. Hey, bro. Yes, bro. Yes, go on. The carriage goes around the square
3:51
You can just hop on at any time and also just hop off at any time
3:56
I think it's stopping now, so I'm going to be hopping off. Now listen, if you like to enjoy the good things in life
4:03
you got to book a guided yacht cruise They got snacks canapes drinks the whole lot It super fun and relaxing and you also get to learn a bit about the local sites and landmarks
4:17
This is a very dangerous game, I'm playing with my camera. This boat is rocky as hell
4:28
Alright, so I'm currently on the deck of the boat. Apparently, straight ahead is the Black Sea
4:34
And on the right is the Marmaris Sea. On the right is the Asian side
4:41
On the left is the English side. So this wasn't planned, but my cousin insisted, bro, you've got to go check out Haya Sophia
5:15
But be warned, there is a dress code. So if you show up in shorts, you'll be given a skirt first to teach you a lesson and then to cover up those ankles
5:26
I am officially appropriately dressed. It's the world's largest place of worship, built in 532 AD
5:35
And it's the tallest dome of the largest Christian church in the world
5:43
Have you ever had a Turkish bath? Well, neither have I. I'm guessing you said no
5:49
Well, this is what we're here to do. New experience. Happy days. Let's get out of it
5:54
You never know which one's right and which one's left. Now I really don't know what to say about this
6:00
A lady scrubbing you down like the Prince of Zamunda whilst you're half naked and a tiny bit excited
6:07
A part of me was definitely expecting something else, I wasn sure but it definitely an experience and you got to try it Turkish tea and water complimentary
6:28
All right listen, you've got to try these one pound pizzas, only 30 lira for a slice
6:39
So I'm heading to a pop call later on and I want to find a t-shirt to wear and I'm back
6:50
at the place where I got this one. So happy days, let's shop
6:54
Hey, now I'm not one for fake designer clothing, because if you can't buy the real one, then
6:58
just buy the fake one, no? Well these guys, they take it to a whole nother level
7:07
This bar crawl is the best way to end the night in Istanbul with free drinks, card games
7:14
and a night packed full of fun and dancing. You really can't go wrong
7:23
Now on the bus we had a couple of ladies on their hen party and we decided to give them
7:26
a striptease. I didn't manage to film most of it, but you can probably guess how it went
7:49
Alright, now it's currently 3am and these are all the fun things to do in Istanbul
7:55
I'll see you in the next one. Peace
