    Ask to 'aktar's your natural products that are available in everywhere, the most famous example spice bazaar (it can be more expensive then others), they aren't only for spicies, also for herbals and extracts

      I have to agree with her. It's not quite the same as in the US. I've visited many times and it seems like unless you are walking with a man. The men are relentless and they tend sometimes to get way too familiar very quickly. It's very uncomfortable.

    • @bodoor8172

      In the US men aren’t that sticky, in Turkey they are unless you are with a man, if Glory has any male relatives, she should invite them over for a week or longer to show the environment that she is backed by men so they will think twice before crossing her.

    You are so jokes loool, I love your sense of humour, and YES turkish men are just like that! Not sure why they can't try be mates?? Why is there always a secret agenda?? But loving your videos gurl, keep them coming! Love from UK x PS. my best mate back in school was Nigerian! And we would call each other twinnies, called my mum teyze and everything!

    Google translate is a good tool; however, I had an awkward experience in the US with it. A man came into the restaurant I worked at to pick up his order, and I tried to tell him please wait 5 minutes. He told me I don't speak English only Turkish and attempted to have me talk into the translator on his phone. I could tell the translation wasn't accurate because he still looked confused after looking at it. We tried again and failed. Then, we stood there awkwardly for a few seconds. I felt so bad 😭

      MAI Alyssa Silva girl pull up your straight face and be firm I experienced a funny behavior in Cyprus at the airport on the gate go they were talking about us and laugh this was a man/woman and when they checked my passport he called his superior to confirm why I've an African passport but live in the UK. The boss was like where you going I said home was you born there? I said no I moved to London when I was 11 he was like OK then left. The girl at the checkpoint was like why can't you change your passport I was like am keeping my DNA. So weird
