TURKISH PEOPLE IN THE UK

More than half a million Turkish people live in the UK and several million are living outside of Turkiye. But are they happy living away from their homeland? In this new series we meet up with Turks living abroad and ask them about their lives. As we are in the UK to visit our families at this time, it gave us the opportunity to catch up with a few of the local Turks! Türkçe Altyazılı Seçebilirsiniz

We don't choose where we are born, but we are always exploring our dream place where we can live. I am an Indian who wants to retire in Turkey, i know turks who live in Canada and i know Canadians who want to return back to India. The best place is where you feel the best.

I live in Turkey, but I want to go the USA or CANADA. Because Turkey's currency lately is going down and politics aren't right in the way of. Everything is so expensive in Turkey rn. Even car prices are over the 300.000 Turkish Lira. I mean these cars are minimum level like 1.0 TDI or TSI, and their's hp under 100. Let me give you an example, you pay for a basic Audi car in terms of $ it's approximately 20.000. But in Turkey, we have to pay for these kind of cars at least 600.000 or 700.000 its like a 50.000$. In Turkey minimum wage is 4250 TRY and most of the people are earning minimum wage in Turkey.

Great video, I'll share this with my students (I'm an English teacher at Ege University) and I always share your videos with my students and recommend that they subscribe to your channel! I also agree with some of the other comments about you making future videos for ex-pats living in Turkey, please do. I too am an ex-pat (American) who has been living and working in Izmir for the past 10 years and my (Turkish) wife and I couldn't be happier (except for the current economic situation)! She lived with me in the states for about 8 years before moving here and there are lots of Turks living back home in Columbus, Ohio. We would love to meet with you guys one day and give you a tour of our new summer home in beautiful Mordoğan! You're welcome anytime! Cheers mate and keep up the good work!

A very interesting video on the reversal of the situation between England and Turkey. 60 years ago I migrated from Egypt to Australia. Apart from the beauty of Sydney I couldn’t believe how easy it was to get a job and with good money at the end of the week. Same as the Turkish gentleman said “You have to work hard” to make it ,and that is a fact. Whilst you still work and make a living,you haven’t even got time to think about going back to your country of origin,however,when retirement comes around and you’ve got plenty of time to think,that’s when relocation thoughts play on your mind for varied reasons.Not necessarily to your country of origin though. I enjoy the variety of subject matters in your videos!

Guys, very interesting information, thanks for sharing Mick and Trudie. It's great to digest open and honest views, openly presented - from Turkish people living in the UK - and again from you guys on the reverse when you share your experiences in Turkey (always well received). We have 8/9 Turkish related businesses that have developed in our small town over the past decade. However, I do prefer life and living in Turkey (over the UK) for many personal reasons, my impartial opinion. So glad to know that British and Turkish people have dual lives in both regions (including you uncle Mick) - 'live life well and prosper'! Best regards...

Mick Amca.. Very sorry to hear your loss. The Minute 19: 30 at street corner, the scene looks very good with lighting and angle, your hat as well. Turkey offers a lot, especially for retirement.. sea, sand, sun.. wonderful weather.. rich cuisine, friendly people, tremendous history, archeology, flora, fauna, interesting geography, 8000 km of coast line, surrounded by 3 beautiful seas, suitable for all kinds of outdoor sports and activities. Plus good connection hub to fly anywhere. The only simple secret is.. You have to be “ curious “ to explore and enjoy.. and you are a very good example of that. Thanks for the video. Best wishes
