0:06
and head out just having breakfast so whilst i was pouring my cereal i asked for oat milk and
0:14

0:28
and then I figured out she wasn't before I said hot milk
0:32
I'm like, oh shit, my bad. But yeah, I'm having hot cow's milk with my cereal
0:39
And we are out. Day two, let's go. All right, so I realized what I probably should have done
0:45
is left my luggage at the other hostel, so I'm not lugging it around the whole day today
0:51
I'll find another hostel and drop my bag in the luggage room and then walk around and explore
0:56
Hello. Can I drop my bag in the luggage room? You're welcome
1:02
Oh yeah? Let's there be lights! Thank you so much
1:15
So I tried to get on one of these cards yesterday. They said I need an Istanbul card to get onto it
1:21
Well now I have one but I feel like it would be more fun if I just hang on to the back of it
1:26
Than actually riding inside it. I have seen some kids hanging on to the back and I might just attempt to I'm a little bit scared
1:33
but I don't know let's see all right, so There people piling up to get into it The excuse I can use if I get caught is hey it was full and I was trying to get it right so I thought I just hang on somewhat Okay it about to go I scared
1:51
My heart is beating so fast and this camera is like it's flashing red. Are you gonna hold on
1:56
to the outside? Yes! Solidarity! I've got someone with me. Amazing. Okay cool. Now I feel a little
2:04
bit better there's someone else doing it i've got my leg on it and i just hold on to it and i just
2:08
need to make sure i don't freaking fall and hurt myself oh my lord we're off for the ride this is
2:15
really scary everyone's looking at me like i'm a crazy person yes bro it has to be this way if
2:25
you're inside you're not getting as much fun or experience as you do if you're just like hanging
2:30
on for dear life. It's probably going like five miles per hour. Oh, hello. Hello. How are you guys
2:39
I'm great, thanks. I'm just hanging on. So it might be coming to a stop. I could get off
2:46
And that's how easy it is. That was an experience that there was another guy literally latched on
2:50
to the back of it. Happy days. Let's find something else today. It is absolutely insane over here. Just
2:55
a bunch of kids trying to nick a motorcycle what the heck for lunch how about a sprinkle of salt
3:02
we've got the budget so why not all right so i've gone for the vegetarian burger and it was 95 lira
3:09
and i've ordered it as a meal so it comes with chips and coke not bad at all now salt bay prices
3:17
in london are absolutely ridiculous but the prices there aren actually too bad Most things range from two to 3 to like 4 So on average you spend about 300 lira for a burger which is 15 pounds
3:33
The most expensive thing on the menu which is the gold burger will cost you 900 lira which is 45 pounds
3:41
You're eating gold. Okay our burger has arrived. It is a fairly small burger but for 95 lira what can you expect
3:50
It tastes pretty decent, packed with mushrooms and spices, it's got pepper, it's got cheese on it
4:11
and it's just got like a healthy amount of mushroom, when you bite into it it's like nice and
4:16
squishy, right consistency, right flavoring. Tastes pretty decent. I've just finished eating and realized I didn't even take part in the experience
4:28
You should also put the gloves on. That's what we're here for now. I'm gonna put it
4:32
on anyways just for dramatic effects. Just for visual effects. I guess this is why
4:38
people come here. This is what people pay for. Alright so I'm just in front of the
4:42
Galata Kulasi, the Galata Tower. There's quite a few people lining up to get in
4:48
Let's see if we can find out the price if it's economical or not. I wouldn't mind
4:53
going up there. I reckon you probably get the best view of the whole city from up
4:58
there Excuse me how much is a ticket to go up the tower Yes please yeah Alright so 175 lira equates to about eight pound fifty eight pounds seventy something like that nine pound and she says it gonna take about
5:16
ten minutes again there's quite a queue that goes round hopefully it does take
5:21
ten minutes hello thank you No, you definitely have to experience this thing
5:31
Maybe on the way down. So the sixth floor is where it's at
5:36
So we're gonna head up there and check out the best view of the city. Hopefully
5:42
I keep selling it as the best view of the city, but I actually don't know yet
5:45
We're about to find out. All right, here we are. We are at the top
5:51
And the only thing that protected us from our demise is this handrail
6:08
Alright that was super fun. We have seen the 360 view of the city and now we are heading out
6:15
I took the elevator up and then now I'm tasked. at least I've challenged myself to take the stairs down
6:22
All right, so I just got my bag, and right now I'm heading to the airport. And there we have it
6:28
Currently at the airport. I'm going to call it. If you like this video, give it a big thumbs up
