0:00
We promised ourselves we would never do this. However, we see it. I'm covering it with G's body
0:17
We're doing it for the Wi-Fi. We really need it. I'm looking forward to the cappuccino
0:24
It might not work at all, so we came here for nothing
0:35
They text you a password and we're not getting that text, so. Unless we got a cappuccino
0:54
This lunch, my lunch, he wants to eat my lunch, I want to eat his lunch, but we cannot
1:16
Why can't we switch? because I have to watch my carb intake with all the ECMEC in Turkey and you will be hungry
1:27
that's true in 15 minutes a year that's much Back to workout
2:13
Done with the gym for the day. Time for another work day. Walnuts look like those things that you get at the psychiatrist
2:22
Those are inkblasts. What do you see? What do you see? I see a chicken
2:30
You're always thinking about chicken. Can you put that closer? Uh-huh. Walnuts are mini chickens
2:47
We have emerged from our hotel and now we are in the beautiful Aladdin Hill here in Cogna
2:58
It feels so good to be outside. I feel like we haven't left the hotel at all
3:03
But anyway, Aladdin Hill is a very cool place. It's a beautiful park in the center of the city
3:08
It's very relaxed. It's pretty hectic out in the city, but here it's just totally chill
3:12
I think it's a popular place for students to come and chill and have their coffee
3:16
Yeah, so we read Conya is a pretty big city. There's two million people here and it's supposed to be one of the most conservative cities in Turkey
3:24
So we heard it doesn't feel that way to us because it's also a university town
3:29
So there's a lot of students a lot of young people. Yeah, and no one's like dressed too conservatively
4:11
sadly it's time for us to head back to our hotel. We have to keep working but
4:17
we'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully we can show you around more or at least share some kind of interesting food perhaps
4:28
We're gonna show you all of our favorite foods that we have tried in Turkey so far
4:33
This is Ichli Kofte Our first rendezvous with Ichli Kofte was in Taty when our Airbnb host gave this to us It kind of like a Turkish empanada does that make sense Yeah I guess so
4:46
And it has some kind of like dough or like flour-based- The flour is bulgur. Bulgur
4:51
Bulgur. Bulgur flour, which is kind of like a rice. And then inside can be lamb or beef, in this case it's beef
5:00
And it's phenomenal. This is Bide, which is Turkish pizza. everyone eats it like they sell it everywhere but we tried it once in cash and it was just okay
5:11
but we tried it here the other day and it was so good so you put some lemon on top
5:18
the meat is so good it's spicy and then you put what this no the red the red tomato that's also
5:26
spicy. And then you roll it. And this one doesn't have cheese. It's just like this delicious
6:05
It's like a lamb, spiced lamb, like minced meat, kebab, and then wrapped with like a light bread
6:13
It looks like tomato sauce. Never had it before. I've had the yana kebab, but not in the beiti form, but it looks delicious
6:22
And of course it comes with yogurt. And rice. Everything comes with yogurt
6:27
Let's see. Is it spicy
6:37
Mmm, not spicy but very spiced. Oh really? Just the other thing
6:43
Like, not if it's a pot, because they use so many different spices. It's very flavorful, it's good
6:49
We also got chai, because every Turkish meal ends with chai. Even though the flavor is not super strong, but it's just the idea of the chai that you just
7:00
sit after you eat and talk and enjoy a hot beverage and just talk about the meal or talk about whatever
7:05
and just relax you just you don't get up and leave and it's fun and it's one of our favorite turkish
7:11
traditions and we are gonna end the video here we hope you liked it we'll see you tomorrow bye
7:17
happy friday we finally left our hotel it's 5 30 p.m now and we are heading to the bazaar
7:31
We made it to the bazaar but it seems like it's closing. It's only 6pm but it seems like everyone's
7:50
wrapping up so we're gonna walk around a little bit and see if there's anything open. If not
7:54
we're gonna have to come back tomorrow during the day. We'll see. It does seem like it's closing
8:00
It looks pretty cool though. There's a lot of spices stores and restaurants and jewelry shops and gold and clothes and all these cool things
8:10
but they're all closing. So we're definitely gonna come back tomorrow during the day and hopefully try new foods that we haven't tried yet
8:16
And right now we're gonna try to save the night going to a square where a lot of the people hang out
8:22
and I think maybe we can get some chai there. We have some chai
8:33
And some treats? And some treats. Ah! This is the little simmets
8:37
The little tiny simmets. And we said this is orange. And I learned the other day that this in Turkish means good
8:47
So I said good, and he said good. So this one should be good
8:51
that's it for us tonight we're going to enjoy our chai and have our little simon
8:56
snack and maybe have a cigarette and blend in with the locals just kidding
9:02
yeah we'll see you tomorrow we're gonna enjoy our chai come on in welcome to my crib
9:15
Going in We show you around We been here for six days now and this is our home
9:39
And this way we have the bedroom. Giant bedroom. The only bad thing is that we have two mosques right in front of them
9:52
It would be very appropriate if the culture greater stars right now
10:05
We are back at the bazaar and it's such a different vibe. It's Saturday like 1 p.m. and it's completely different from yesterday when it was closing
10:13
here doing their shopping and I think we are pretty much the only tourists so
10:17
we're getting well because of the camera too but everyone's like staring at us but it's gonna be cool because when I walk around the whole thing it's it has
10:24
like over 2,600 stores shops and the first stop it's gonna be food because
10:30
we're starving and everyone has recommended for us to try Italy Ecmec
10:34
which is very traditional from Cognac so you're gonna find that we're gonna eat
10:43
Hi, see what's there for you to be careful? Oh, okay. Oh, a lot. Okay
10:56
Very good. Thank you. Thank you
11:06
Look at this. Thank you. We were decent. Yeah, we're being modest
11:12
Everyone else is... All the other tables are ordering multiple actually Ekmeks and just going for it
11:21
So this is one order of Ekmeks. Yeah! As always, we've been observing the other tables
11:27
So you add some lime. The peppers you actually take off and then just use as like
11:34
I don't know, a little snack in between the Ekmeks. First bite ever at Leet Neckland
11:53
It's so flavorful. Yeah, it's delicious. I should get two more. This is really good. You can feel like you taste all the spices
12:05
And the cheese is not too strong And it's just like... This is perfect
12:13
This is so good Thank you You're joined This is the same food
12:25
We had to order them It's so good It is so good
12:31
I wish we were better at explaining the flavors I wish we didn't wait until the last day in Cogna to have the
12:37
because we're leaving and I think this is, we leave tomorrow, I think this is the only place where you can find it, right
12:44
I think so. This bazaar is amazing. If you come to Cogna you have to come here
12:57
It's part of the old city and we're just surrounded by beautiful mosques too
13:01
I think there's one like every like couple blocks and you can hear the different calls to prayer
13:05
and then there's tons of great places to get some food to have chai and then there's different shops
13:10
a lot of jewelry and just like functional stuff like head scarves for women just really
13:14
pretty traditional clothing and suits for men and it's really cool to see
13:55
I think you scabby We headed towards the whirling dervish ceremony
14:25
I don't know a ton about it, so I'm not gonna explain too much
14:28
it's a ceremony i guess held by a certain school of sufi uh islam followers sufi muslims i guess
14:39
and what they do is like they do this they twirl around i think very quickly to like connect with
14:46
the heavens so from what i've read they like put one palm towards the ground and one palm towards
14:51
towards the sky they kind of like connect heaven and earth and then like spin around
14:55
quickly and they like don't, I don't know, they don't lose their balance and they just find some
15:00
kind of like trance and then that way connects with like, I don't know, with Rumi or with Allah
15:07
or something like that. That's where my details get a little fuzzy. But it should be pretty cool
15:11
to see. It's like a very unique ceremony and it's specific to Konya. So this is like an important
16:31
Yeah, that was very interesting. I've never seen anything like that. It is so unique to see something like this
16:39
I can't believe, like the whole time I was thinking, we're all so different
16:44
and it's and it's so beautiful you know that we're so different like i felt so lucky and i'm a little
16:50
bit like emotional right now but like so lucky that we're here seeing this yeah that is completely
16:59
right like different like i just don't know how else to say it other than that yeah it was a crazy
17:08
experience they they're in such like a trance too like some of them like when they're spinning
17:12
some of them have their eyes open and you just like look at them and they're just somewhere else
17:16
and it's just so cool to experience something that essentially like a couple weeks ago I didn't know
17:21
was a thing like I've heard of like a whirling nervous but I didn't know what it was
17:25
and now we're here in Konya and I just like saw it and I was thinking how lucky we were to be in
17:30
Turkey with there's so many different like cultures especially in Konya yeah just like
17:34
seeing people in like different dress and what an amazing thing that we're all so different
17:40
Thanks Konya. Thank you Konya. Now we are heading for dinner and we're getting
17:48
ready to go to Cappadocia tomorrow. So we'll see you next time. Bye
18:04
Time to head out! Time to say goodbye to Konya! Bye Konya! Hello! Cappadocia
18:20
Good evening. Good morning. Look at this view from our terrace. Yes. Let's get some clean glue. Stop smelling
