1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,460
I did get Scammed
actually, I did get scammed
2
00:00:03,490 --> 00:00:09,440
a guy in a van pulled
up and he said, Brother, come
3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,200
28 years old.
4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,740
I'm from Sudan.
5
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,360
I'm 28 years old.
6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:28,540
Turkey.
7
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:30,480
What's that?
8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,900
As I understand, you haven't exactly
been in Turkey for too long now have you?
9
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,140
No, I haven't.
I haven't been here for too long.
10
00:00:47,170 --> 00:00:49,860
And, you know, you're a very lucky man.
Why?
11
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:51,460
And I'll tell you exactly why.
12
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:52,940
Because you are the first person
13
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:57,300
with whom I did a stand up interview
with usually I always sat down.
14
00:00:57,330 --> 00:01:00,060
My guests let them really enjoy life.
15
00:01:00,090 --> 00:01:01,340
Special things in it.
16
00:01:01,370 --> 00:01:03,360
Special things.
17
00:01:04,843 --> 00:01:09,714
Before you came to turkey, what were
some preconceived ideas or perceptions you had?
18
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,410
I didn't know anything about turkey
except what you see in movies.
19
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,410
That big mosque, what's it called?
20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,260
Yeah, the Blue Mosque.
21
00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:25,210
I thought it would be
less developed, actually.
22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,380
Really?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,850
I thought It would be less developed than this.
24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,900
It's more developed than I thought because
25
00:01:31,930 --> 00:01:36,020
in movies you see the shabby
places or what do you call it?
26
00:01:36,050 --> 00:01:39,960
Do you consider this area a shabby place?
27
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,360
When you first came to Turkey,
28
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,460
what were your first impressions? Now you
29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440
said that before you came to Turkey,
you thought it wasn't very developed.
30
00:01:52,470 --> 00:01:54,380
No, I did not.
31
00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:58,700
How did that exactly relate to your
preconceived ideas before actually coming?
32
00:01:58,730 --> 00:02:01,540
Well, I was surprised
I came to the airport.
33
00:02:01,570 --> 00:02:06,060
Mashala Airport was very
I think it's one of the best airports.
34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,620
Actually.
It's newly built.
35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,860
oh it's the new one two years ago.
I think it was built.
36
00:02:09,890 --> 00:02:11,500
Okay.
Fun fact.
37
00:02:11,530 --> 00:02:15,240
On the second day it was built I
actually travel in the airport.
38
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,260
Like some crazy stuff went down.
39
00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:20,890
Actually, the plane,
it had some technical issues.
40
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:23,800
I was thinking, am I going to die in this airport?
41
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,300
You can't make them up.
42
00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:31,086
I was surprised
43
00:02:31,286 --> 00:02:33,229
so you were coming from which city exactly in sudan?
44
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:34,900
I'm coming from khartoum
45
00:02:34,914 --> 00:02:35,914
the famous khartoum?
46
00:02:36,114 --> 00:02:37,114
is it famous? I don't know if it's famous
47
00:02:43,643 --> 00:02:47,400
I swear it's famous, the people are very good
48
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,040
I myself have been to khartoum twice.
I know nothing but good stuff about.
49
00:02:53,090 --> 00:02:56,020
What are the differences
between khartoum and istanbul?
50
00:02:56,050 --> 00:02:58,300
Big differences.
51
00:02:58,330 --> 00:03:04,240
First of all,
istanbal is way more developed than khartoum
52
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:07,060
ıt's clean over here.
53
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,580
What about the cultural differences? I
54
00:03:08,610 --> 00:03:13,660
always wondered how do people do things
differently on the other end of the world?
55
00:03:13,690 --> 00:03:18,820
I mean, comparative to istanbul, what
is something that you do differently?
56
00:03:18,850 --> 00:03:22,220
Okay.
Over here, people don't see any.
57
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:24,700
They don't socialize much in Sudan.
58
00:03:24,730 --> 00:03:26,300
Everybody knows everybody.
59
00:03:26,330 --> 00:03:31,340
Or everybody can randomly talk
to somebody and make friends.
60
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,220
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
61
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,580
And you'll just be walking.
62
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,300
Someone will comment or something,
you'll start talking.
63
00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:41,957
And the social life there is a bit
more active than people are.
64
00:03:41,958 --> 00:03:45,700
could you say that in sudan people are more easy going.
Yes, way more easy going.
65
00:03:45,730 --> 00:03:48,340
Are they as reserved as the Turks?
66
00:03:48,370 --> 00:03:50,120
No.
67
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,700
It's very strange because when I was
68
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,300
in Malaysia and I came to Turkey,
the culture shocked for me was how open
69
00:03:57,330 --> 00:04:01,640
the Turkish people were
to having conversations.
70
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,660
That was my.
Well, when you compare to Malaysia, yeah.
71
00:04:04,690 --> 00:04:08,000
But Sudan, it's like
72
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,100
African vibe.
You know what Im saying?
73
00:04:12,130 --> 00:04:13,929
What makes sudan feel like home? the people
74
00:04:13,957 --> 00:04:17,100
yeah, it's the only
thing keeping me there.
75
00:04:17,130 --> 00:04:20,100
The people people may not know this fact
76
00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:23,500
about you, but you lived how many
years of your life in the malaysia?
77
00:04:23,530 --> 00:04:24,540
14 years.
78
00:04:24,570 --> 00:04:27,300
14 years.
Half my life.
79
00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:28,380
Almost half my life.
80
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,100
So what made you come to is istanbul
81
00:04:30,130 --> 00:04:32,420
what made me come to istanbul ?
82
00:04:32,450 --> 00:04:38,060
I came here to do business
mainly and to explore any
83
00:04:38,090 --> 00:04:41,060
living conditions here.
84
00:04:41,090 --> 00:04:46,014
Basically, study how the places,
how the living.
85
00:04:46,214 --> 00:04:49,629
can you talk about what you've seen so far regarding living conditions
86
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,580
I think it's easy.
87
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,220
And the people who are living here,
it's easy for them.
88
00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:59,520
There are services you can't get in a
place where I'm staying at the moment.
89
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,620
It makes life like
90
00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:04,700
the markets are.
91
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,000
They have the delivery to your house,
92
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,320
what's it called?
You can get anywhere here using transport.
93
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,700
Different seven or six
different transport methods.
94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,260
Yeah.
What about food?
95
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:24,560
But I do.
I think that's very important.
96
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:27,171
That's a sensitive topic for me.
97
00:05:27,371 --> 00:05:28,371
why?
98
00:05:28,571 --> 00:05:30,314
i've gained 5 kilos
99
00:05:30,514 --> 00:05:32,700
let's see that belly
100
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,980
I haven't measured there more or less.
101
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,686
How does the food variety compare to in sudan?
102
00:05:41,710 --> 00:05:48,540
It's huge, man.
103
00:05:48,570 --> 00:05:50,340
There's not much variety.
104
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,020
You'll find other Turkish
restaurants in Khartoum
105
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,580
yeah.
You'll find Syrian places in Khartoum.
106
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,580
But the variety here is amazing.
107
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,700
But of course, we cannot ignore the fact
108
00:05:59,729 --> 00:06:02,986
that Sudan and khartoum is going
through a difficult time.
109
00:06:03,010 --> 00:06:07,020
Yes, but let's think back
to the Golden Prime days of the city.
110
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,160
Would you say that when khartoum
111
00:06:09,190 --> 00:06:12,100
was at its prime, it's had more
food variety than Istanbul
112
00:06:12,130 --> 00:06:16,600
no.
113
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,100
You'Re comparing west.
114
00:06:20,130 --> 00:06:23,500
It's like compare someone who plays
basketball to an NBA player.
115
00:06:23,530 --> 00:06:27,900
I mean, Turkish food is the number
one food, I think, in the world.
116
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,680
when it comes to variety, taste.
117
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:35,460
I've got to drop something.
118
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,260
It's the MJ of food, man, right there.
119
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:38,820
That's the Michael Jordan of food, man.
120
00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:42,780
I'm going to drop something that you may
have a heavy disagreement with me on.
121
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,560
But when I first came to Istanbul,
122
00:06:44,590 --> 00:06:48,420
coming from Malaysia, I felt like
the food variety was very limited.
123
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:50,020
I felt like it was only Turkish
124
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,460
and Turkish and Turkish
so far as the eye could see
125
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,620
okay.
126
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,360
Because you're comparing it to Malaysia.
127
00:06:55,390 --> 00:06:59,120
Malaysia, they have more variety.
128
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,220
But yeah, they do have more variety.
129
00:07:02,250 --> 00:07:04,260
I mean, street food and Malaysia,
130
00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:08,100
because they have Indian food,
they have a mixture of cultures.
131
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,060
That's it.
I think that's it.
132
00:07:10,090 --> 00:07:13,220
But Turkey should be Turkish food.
133
00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:17,340
But the variety, I mean, the different
way they Cook it, can you imagine?
134
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,020
That's what I was talking about.
135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,060
I have haters on my channel just because
136
00:07:21,090 --> 00:07:23,514
of this one topic
137
00:07:23,714 --> 00:07:26,471
does istanbul have more food variety of kuala lumpur?
138
00:07:26,671 --> 00:07:29,543
I can't even believe this is a topic of debate
139
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,620
Now you can share the hate, no doubt.
140
00:07:32,650 --> 00:07:34,320
But
141
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,780
when you ask which food tastes better?
142
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,460
Istanbul, actually, to be honest,
143
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,060
I feel that the food here
in Istanbul feels more original.
144
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:48,380
It feels substance
145
00:07:48,410 --> 00:07:50,300
okay, no offense,
146
00:07:50,330 --> 00:07:55,340
in kuala lumpur the food is amazing, but here in Turkey,
it's more original than it is flavor.
147
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,220
Do you get me correct?
No.
148
00:07:57,250 --> 00:07:59,480
Umami, no.
Ajinomoto.
149
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,160
And all this stuff.
I don't know exactly.
150
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,620
But everything is OG.
151
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:06,280
Yes.
152
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,840
What aspect of istanbul will
make you feel at home?
153
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,820
It doesn't feel like home
here, unfortunately.
154
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,460
But what do you think could
make you feel like you are home?
155
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,460
Old friends.
Definitely old friends.
156
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,640
That used to be.
157
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,700
They make me feel.
158
00:08:22,730 --> 00:08:24,460
They make me feel.
159
00:08:24,486 --> 00:08:27,843
majid being one of them!
160
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,780
I asked seven or ten actually, ten people.
161
00:08:34,810 --> 00:08:38,740
I asked them this question and all
of them gave answers to do with people.
162
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,580
Why do you think having people from your
163
00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:45,740
community, what role does it play,
making someone settle in?
164
00:08:45,770 --> 00:08:47,260
Well, it's a big role.
165
00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:48,780
People play a big role.
166
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,860
You know how they say home
is where the heart is?
167
00:08:50,890 --> 00:08:51,580
Yeah.
168
00:08:51,610 --> 00:08:56,760
It's the people and the people
you love that give you
169
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,660
an impression of a place like Turkey.
170
00:08:59,690 --> 00:09:01,240
And if I'm coming to Turkey,
171
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:06,220
if I was by myself,
I don't think I would have loved it.
172
00:09:06,250 --> 00:09:08,980
I would have been crying right now.
173
00:09:09,010 --> 00:09:11,660
But me coming here, being
174
00:09:11,690 --> 00:09:17,420
welcomed by my friends that I used to know
in Malaysia, so it made me like Turkey.
175
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,840
They tell you what you should do,
what you should avoid.
176
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,600
how not to get scammed
177
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,140
That's a sensitive topic.
178
00:09:28,170 --> 00:09:30,700
It's important for people
to know about this.
179
00:09:30,730 --> 00:09:34,100
I did get scammed, actually,
I did get scouted.
180
00:09:34,130 --> 00:09:41,420
A guy in a van pulled up and he said,
Brother, come, I work at the airport.
181
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,580
He said, I have this bag.
182
00:09:43,610 --> 00:09:47,940
He showed me a bag full of,
like, perfumes and a watch.
183
00:09:47,970 --> 00:09:49,300
It's very well packed.
184
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,980
You guys, be careful.
Be careful.
185
00:09:51,010 --> 00:09:52,660
If you're just coming to Techie,
186
00:09:52,690 --> 00:09:57,000
a guy comes up like this, tells you
this bag is from airport, be careful.
