Bosporus is not a river … it’s a canal and a water path

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Yes, getting technical, it's a strait.

[@umarsyed7538]

@@ExpatsEverywhere Strait is nothing technical, it's common. River is way off the mark.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

@@umarsyed7538 we were setting at the canal and a water path. Let’s just call it a strait. That’ll strait-en it out, won’t it?

I have lived in Turkey since I was born. I m 20 years old . Everything is true. I appreciate you guys. You know this city.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Hi Fatih, thanks for reaching out with your edifying comment. :-) We appreciate you!

Istanbul Europe’s Biggest/Largest City and one of the Biggest Cities in the World Megacity.

The Bosphorus is definitely NOT a river. It is the Marmara SEA itself!

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Pardon us, strait. 🙏

[@bahiyafattal7714]

its a strait not a river though...you said it yourselves, it connects to seas...

[@sedayehneda]

Thank you for the good information...I just have to make a correction. Bosporus or Bosphorus is a natural canal or “Strait” that connects the waters between Black Sea and Sea of Marmara and by extension Dardanelles that connects Aegean and Mediterranean Sea...

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thank for the comment and compliment. We've noted on other comments as well that we incorrectly identified the Bosphorus. Cheers.

[@AdamSahr-cj4kf]

Bosphorus is a natural strait connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, thus being a very strategic waterway. It was a river in the valley during the Tertiary period of the continents, which was submerged by the sea at the end of that period.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Thanks, Adam Sahr.

[@AdamSahr-cj4kf]

@@ExpatsEverywhere No worries, you weren't there in that period , how would you know ?!

[@ahmetkiziltas6829]

I never guess that Nişantaşı and Teşvikiye looks so similar to San Marco Square

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Video tag have them pretty close. 🤣 😅

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

[@mattp2989]

[@larsjohansson660]

Its not a river

[@mehmetsahkarasu4287]

Guys you put the photo of the Venice as a Istanbul change that it is funny ! In 1:44

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Good eye. At times we use b-roll that’s not exactly what we’re talking about because the look or feel of the photo works with the title slide. Are you from Turkey and live in Istanbul?

[@mehmetsahkarasu4287]

Expats Everywhere Yes, I am from Istanbul but I am expat in Doha /Qatar.

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Mehmet Sah Karasu Awesome 👏 Any interest in doing an interview about your expat experience in Doha?

[@mehmetsahkarasu4287]

Expats Everywhere Sure, why not ;)

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Great! Email us at [e-mail] to schedule it.

[@nathalie.i]

Thanks for the useful video. Just a small question, in regards to jobs mentioned in the video, “translator”. Is learning turkish is a must in this case? Or having 4 languages would be enough to find a job in this field? Many thanks!

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Nathalie Issa Thank you for the question. In most cases, you will want to be able to translate from or to Turkish, but it will depend on the job. Search the market and see if there are those that need you to go between languages not named Turkish. 4 languages is impressive. All the best.

[@nathalie.i]

Expats Everywhere thank you so much! Will do!

[@ExpatsEverywhere]

Nathalie Issa You’re welcome. Thanks for connecting. All the best. Keep us posted.

[@erx2043]

You don't need to learn Turkish for the majority of English speaking jobs in Turkey, including for teaching English. Did you end up going?
