36 years in Turkey, Some of my early stories from the 80's and 90's, Türkçe Altyazılı seçebilirsiniz

[@Pyjamarama11]

Turkish people are so kind When I holidayed there in the late 90's my jeep got a flat tyre Two workers walked 150m across some waste ground to the road to help me and wouldn't accept anything in return, despite my best efforts to give them some money

[@garici6454]

Very normal in Turkish culture. I remember when I was 14( 1990) we were in Bodrum for the summer vacation. As we were crusing by the road we saw a stalled Suzuki Vitara; a rental, tourists typicaly used to get back then. My father (RIP) stopped the car and we helped them. They ran out of gas so we siphoned gas from our car and filled theirs so that they can make it to the nearest gas station. They offered money, my father, of course didn’t accept it. Because you just do the right thing and help people, and in return all you need is seeing people happy and you feel good that you are able to help. Turkish people will go the extra mile to help; it is a cultural thing

July and Augist 2024 Me, the wife and my 7 yr old boy travelled through Istanbul, Antalya, Kas, Kalkan, Oludeniz, Fethiye and Dalaman... It was the best travel experiwnce of my life...

I am Filipino living in Sydney and I have been in Turkey three times, my favourite country I have visited for the last 35 years of my travelling time around the world. The people are so friendly, helpful and genuine. I have been like sort of Turkey ambassador because I tried the convinced my friends and relatives to visit Turkey. I have since took my brother, sisters and brothers and sister-in-law’s to Turkey. If you are brave and confident enough hire a car to see more of it’s wonders. We were supposed to go there this summer but we run out of time during our 10 weeks European summer holidays, but God willingly we will be back in 2016.🙏

Thanks Mick, really enjoyed this post. I just wanted to say, the soul/spirit is a powerful thing and can determine who n what you are, not necessarily your DNA. I've known people of all walks of life feel a love and kinship with Turkiye and astoundingly turks that hate it and have strong desires for other places. I love Turkiye and everything about it. God bless the kind and generous Turks that love their country and make it a very special place. Appreciate your vids.

I've really enjoyed your stories, Mick, and I've been following your channel since 2020. I've always looked forward to your videos, and I have to say, Trudie has become such an integral part of the channel. Seeing you both together makes the videos even more enjoyable and fun. I'm originally from Iran, with Azeri Turkish as my first language, and I've been living in Australia. It would be amazing to meet you both in Fethiye one day!

Thankyou Mick for your great videos. We have been going to Turkiye for 26 years now since we both got married 2nd time around then. We bought a holiday home in Datca, had it for 16 years before selling it because husband took a stroke there but thankfully he has recovered. We go back every year to Fethiye now wnich we love, so know the area well. Been to many countries, have travelled a lot but Turkiye has won our hearts. Looking forward to returning next Year God Willing, Inshallah! if we are spared both 80 years of age now, sadly time running out. Must look out for you both next year if we are able to return to Fethiye.

What a tease!! So many questions - what happened to the lodge? When did the lovely Trudie enter the picture? Where are your Turkish children now? You may have answered this in previous posts but are you a citizen of Turkey- being married to a Turkish woman , did that fast track that option? I was also a holiday rep in Turkey - late 90’s I was also so impressed with the friendliness of the people. So much so I married one! We are going on 25 years! Living in the USA. Eager for the next part of your story Mick. 😊

Uncle Mick, you are a Turk now. Just like the Greek-Turkish singer "Fedon" or the Armenian-Turkish rock artist "Hayko Cepkin", you are also Turkish Uncle Mick of British origin. Because Atatürk's words, "How happy is the person who says that i am a Turk", actually means "How happy is the people who live in these lands and feel themselves a Turk". This is its subtext and deep meaning of Atatürk's word. Best regards, we love you Mick Amca !

[@turhanozturk1982]

I think it's maybe better to hear the transformation our country has been through from a foreigner as an insider. As you probably are well aware of the troubles our country has been going through in the last couple of years many people think that our country is becoming unlivable but through your eyes we feel more attached to our land. When you're in the bubble sometimes you can't see the whole picture.Thanks to your videos we always get the chance to see the country from a different perspective. By the way, the quality of your videos, in terms of tecnicality, has increased dramatically. The latest episodes of your journeys spanning from Eastern Anatolian cities to western parts such as Bursa, Çanakkale; from Southern to Northern Türkiye is one of the best documentarial products I have ever seen. May be you should be bestowed with the honour of honorary ambassador of Türkiye since your videos contribute to the advertisement of our country. By the way I think you will mention about your marriage to Trudie since you've just talked about your first marriage and early days of your presence in our country. Thank you very much again...

Merhaba Mick... Jim Amca here... Wonderful stories. I, too, have been traveling to Turkey since the early 90s. I met my Turkish wife in London. Ironically, I had the same feelings about the environment and "Paradise" as you. I was among the many international teachers London imported in the early 90s. My wife and I lived in London for 6 years and then 2 years in Istanbul. My job fell apart in Istanbul. Otherwise, we would still be living in Europe. Sadly, I wish my Turkish was as fluent as yours. I recently purchased Babbel with the hopes of taking my big salad bowl of Turkish and improving upon it. Cheers Mick... I check out your videos as I see them and have recently started following you and Trudie.

We are proud to call Turkiye our second home and hopefully in the future can get a residency somehow. We're in Denizli, not far from the action in Fethiye/Oludeniz where we can visit anytime we want. Turkish people are indeed very friendly and love it when you try to converse in Turkish. It's hard, but it'll come! Thankyou Mick & Trudie for all your interesting videos and guidance.
