I enjoyed your video a lot. Nice and genuine personality. I hate when people sounds pretentious trying to look down on others that could not afford authentic items. I hope your channel grows fast. Excellent bag from *gtdupe* , it took me a while to decide but I'm glad I did. Life it's so much easier, I just wished I brought the median instead of the small on. Still all is right by me.

I was pickpocketed in Fateh area by two women , tbh opened my rug sack but fortunately I managed to notice on time.

And now with high inflation I feel like people are getting more desperate. So take care of your pockets and bags

Invaluable info, thank you. Is there any scams in exchanging money there? Places to avoid exchanging? Is there any way to get a reliable taxi that won't try to scam us?

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

Exchange 💱 money I recommend doing in Taksim or using PTT 🏧 they don't charge any fees.

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

Taxi is tough one honestly but I recommend looking up the route using Uber app to get an idea how much normal rate cost. If local taxi tells you something crazy you can compare both rates and figure out if it's a scam or not.

I just have questions like where to buy a transportation ticket for 12 days? Are they all the same price or are there cheap alternatives? Because I saw one online that said it’s 90€ and thats alot even compared to where i live now where its very expensive. Also where is the best place to exchange money? And where to get a museum ticket?

[@Refugee2LivingTheDream]

Selam, 12 day pass will cost you about 100 Turkish Lira which is about $5 🇺🇸.... You can buy them at machines at the airport, grocery stores etc, but Link below is the best place to buy.
