I love playing OKEY we have 3 sets in different wood form and plastic..... small size and large size....every time visiting Turkey I buy a new set!

[@erayyldrm1050]

It is enough for playing Okey :D Buy other lovely goods of Turkey

[@ibrahimturkoglu5492]

wow nice =)

[@yusufarslan9236]

Most Turkish people do this in summer evenings :) Sitting outside with friends, playing something like a okey and drink tea or mineral water..

[@ChasingaPlate]

We are going to miss having you two as neighbours!! We really want to learn OKEY, we need to make sure it happens next time. Great video guys. Sheena x

[@thebutcherds4900]

I can see how happy you are whenever in Turkey , you made me feel like I really want to go there .

[@martagranato8363]

Love the video , i wish people in the usa had a different view of how Turkey is 👍❤️👋

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

We’re working on it ;) -Ash

[@user-todaywe]

This is the realest vlogger I know, keep up the good work! Thanks a lot josh and ashley 😍

[@rawlife3575]

Hahaha ...if you stay in Turkey little more you all will be Turk

[@ahmedalshalchi]

hahaha .... Do you mean they will be brainset to Turk ??

[@andistuttgart9067]

Excellent video about life in Istanbul. Best thing to meet with locals and do what they do in their free time. 👍

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Just like how we got to meet you! For sure a highlight in our Germany trip! Friends in “real life” now. Haha -Ash

[@Diana-lo6cx]

You guys seem so happy in Turkey! Loved the vlog

[@jaygenglish2669]

Well, they were in Scandinavia before, so clearly Turkey is much more fun for them. Ha!

[@volgavis]

I know a version of this game called 101. It's basically the same game as okey but you team up with the person in front and try to get rid of your stones quicker than the other team. The trick is for your pairs to have a total value of 101 or more. If you get to that point you showcase your sets and get rid of them. Once the stones in the middle run out or one team does an "okey", you tally up the numbers you have in the end and that becomes your score. Whichever team has the least score after x rounds of the game wins. I think it's much more enjoyable with the scoring system! You could try it sometime.

[@NursemEzgiFindikkiran]

We play it in Turkey too

[@user-fq8bc6xi3o]

And there is another version named "Banko". I forgot the rules but it is more advanced and difficult if i remember correctly.

[@skate2ice]

What a fun day and fun video!

[@mertkursun1342]

Ahahahahaha you simply went to the kahvehane and played okey i can't believe it 😂😂😂 made my day

[@IsmailGumuskesen]

The most local experience in Turkey. Wow! you are officially local now :)

[@jadecummings8093]

Lovely adventure in Turkey! The Turkish foods looks amazing that I would love to try it out for sure.

[@elcingulhan]

OMG you really did played okey??!! 🤣🤣 You should have tried "tavla". It's more Turkish :)

[@oguztokur3673]

elcin gulhan tavla is persian or indian originally

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

I literally hate parsley as it isn't much different than grass but with Lahmacun it goes so well, i put a ton of parsley into it!! And you are supposed to squeeze lemon on parsley as well so that grass thing would have more taste :))

[@zuemh702]

I wish I’m neighbours with you guys, coz you’re all my favourite KZbinrs, including Sheena and Thomas ❤️ And that Lahmacun is sooo delicious! I make my own Lahmacun at home sometimes... Love Turkish food ❤️

[@Hunterbay872]

I am impressed that you drink Ayran (yogurt drink) most people hate it

[@ArabianLady]

Loved seeing you interacting with the locals. It reminded me of the game Rummikub. The food looked yummy and I was so happy to see you getting to hang out with Thomas and Sheena. Looking forward to the next upload, stay safe! Xoxo.😊💖

[@vintagemoss9578]

I love turkey!

[@peonypink7943]

You both seem so lovely. I so want to be in Turkey right now 😊 thank you for the vlog.

[@daniela.2047]

Turkey is so wonderful❤

[@brunocan1034]

Lahmacun whit extra lemon 😋😋love istanbul my favorite destination

[@OmnipotentLife]

I really miss you guys. I stop to follow you after you left to Turkey. Welcome back. Find best taxi driver in Çırağan hotel. His name is İhsan Aknur. He is funniest guy on the planet. You should definelty spend at least one full day with him while you are İstanbul. Search him on KZbin or Google. You will see his videos. Search verb "BEST TAXI DRIVER"

[@karencrookedfingerscraft3408]

The tiles in Okay are the tiles in Rummikub. You can get Rummikub in the US. The games are kind of similar.

[@user-qd2ct1ue4v]

ah yeah,we have Rummikub too its looks very the same

[@orhanturkoglu1982]

I love your videos day by day keep up the good work 🏝🏝🇹🇷🇹🇷❤❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@SetCCC]

I used to play tile rummy with my grandma in Oregon! How cool that the same game is played in Turkey. Love it that you have a social network across the world. You're our goodwill ambassadors! 😀

[@kurdesenjack5583]

It is not turkish breakfast, it can be just a little breakfast for my cat.

[@mg0624]

LOL thats right 🤣😂🤣😂

[@sakurassmile3594]

i love lahmacun with lemon, yoghurt and on top chilliflakes. ayran is than necessary . amazing

[@aliatack19]

[@edabinark4899]

[@MoreTravelPlease]

Seems like such a fun day!! We can't wait to visit Turkey!

[@onurdogan7366]

Spend a day like Turkish :)

[@Krustenkaese92]

I've found foreigners usually aren't a big fan of Ayran, but Josh just keeps drinking it. A true man of culture #OneOfUs

[@suleymankosker4842]

Oh you baaack 😂 hope you have a great time 👍

[@jadecummings8093]

Turkish games looks interesting that I didn't play in before!

[@ibrahimturkoglu5492]

'Tavla' harder and more enjoyable I think

[@veniviciftft456]

legend is back

[@elifoz5727]

You guys are staying in such a beautiful country ❤️

[@aksacl6259]

Your videos are like doors and bridges across cultures.

[@TT-zd6nr]

The Okey game reminds me of Mah Jongg taught to me by Chinese friends when in Singapore for two years. The first rule I learned was : do not be slow to play! I spent many happy hours. Losing :)

[@JeanGenie92]

Ahhh love the local insight! Turkey has the best vibe

[@zekiesme86]

I live in Poland,I miss my country so much.Thanks and Güle güle 👋🏻:)

[@osmanaras1590]

welcome to turkey again

[@nicoleloves9483]

I love the ladder in the start of the video.

[@anns390]

VERY close to rummy cube in the US!!! Just don't have the first part of the stacks and dice, but we take 14 to start with, you have to open with minimum 30 points, if you can't go, you pick a "stone", ends the same way. You can buy this in the US.

[@TOPTRAVELVLOG]

Wonderful place. Very beautiful and testy food. Nice creation. Great work friends.

[@NursemEzgiFindikkiran]

I'm really impressed how Josh got it so quick 👍🏻

[@yedekhesap7539]

There's another way to win that game; if you have the 7 pairs of the sane stone (eg a pair of blue 7, a pair of red 3, a pair of green 4 and so on, you need to complexe 7 different pairs) then you can win the game. And Ashley, i eat lahmacun exactly the sane way as you ;)

[@alp196]

Nice and happy video with lovely smile from both of you. I hope you are having a good time there.

[@bguvenel]

Very amazing video,you aldready solved our puzzles (transportation,food, culture etc...)very fast 😁

[@semag6695]

You are so cute guys! I appreciate to see you in my city and it is amazing that you feel yourself safe and happy here! ❤

[@ChikoLoko]

I think you forgot to do something.If someone cheats by stealing OKEY stones , we usually start fight with OKEY woods.We hit each others head with that OKEY woods.This is one of our tradition.

[@jasonevans8403]

Nice relaxed vloggy type vibe 👍 Over 199k! Get those funny hats ready, Brownsters 🥳 😅

[@kimm3473]

Your haircut looks pretty, Ashley! Almost to 200,000 guys!

[@gundenurozel4982]

I love Turkey

[@leylaevans9116]

I used to play Okey all the time, similar to the card game Runny

[@recepayaz6870]

welcome turkey

[@forecastjanna9229]

We play 101 with okey materials, in the south west coast of Turkey. It is so much more difficult, flexible and fun! If you go to west coast (Beyond İzmir) you can find people who play that instead. It is nice to see you've come back to Turkey. I am not sure if you are still here, but if you are, I hope you'll have a great time.

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Thank you so much!! We leave Saturday and will miss our home in Istandbul so much.

If you havent seen them It was a volunteer project with the support of Fatih Municipality , And I was at there all summer too , We help the turists , we show the directions or the told the information they wanted to get, I hope you are still in Istanbul and make some kind of fan meeting , I would like to meet with you guys :)

[@Tila_tr]

omg you're acting so Turkish. You've become the locals, guys :)

[@CihanDemirdag]

it's just a tip if you wanna see more local place as old İstanbul. You should be in Samatya for drinking Turkish Raki and try some tasty appetizer. (Thats the dinner time activity it starts 8:00pm until 2:00am) And then may be you can go fishing to Sarayburnu to catch some İstavrit (Thats activity for until morning) We love you guys :))

[@burakayan3360]

okey is a turkish game which is smilar to mahjong

[@amberpennington8791]

I love your videos and have really enjoyed following you! My husband and I are also traveling full time but at a slow pace. We like to spend a month in each city. You are inspiring us to visit Istanbul soon. What neighborhood do you recommend?

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Kadiköy/MODA is our fav!! We do have a video coming out soon on where to stay in Istanbul. I think you’ll find that super helpful. -Ash
