[first post got cut off] Chicago as "Chicka-Go" or "Maine" as "Mie-nee." (Well, British reporters do that sort of thing all the time actually...) ;)

[sazji]

I enjoyed your films as well. The only thing that grated on me was your pronunciation of place names. I'm not talking about having a perfect accent, but at least learn how Turkish letters are pronounced. There are only a few odd ones (like "C" being pronounced as English "J"), and it's 99% phonetic. "Beya-ziddy Kammy" or "Sofflar Kasisi" are unrecognizable. Imagine if a foreign reporter pronounced

in istanbul almost 20 million people live and also me but where is this fucking bullyshit streets?I study in istanbul university and I've never seen them.These are not touristic not historical or traditional.why did you record this movie what is your purpose?if you want to speak ill of istanbul dont make pls not boef!!!

[sazji]

@extacy2115 Besides the obvious areas, he's in the area between Tahtakale and the covered bazaar. I love those streets actually...you can see slick shops all over the world that all look alike, but Istanbul is unique. I suppose we could tear it all down and make Istanbul like some New York neighborhood with a few mosques here and there, but I hope that doesn't happen.

[tn13]

Sorry, But I lived there for a long time and those are the worst streets of Istanbul. You could have gone to a better place, thats ... never mind...

[7Vails]

I totaly agree (I also lived there.) Those streets look more like the back streets of Bursa 30years ago!! not The very Sophisticated Shops in The Istanbul of today.

[vrz07]

traditional turkish bazaars or bazaars of other moslem countries are the best. it feels so original. the modern ones are great but too much of western influence and modern tech is distracting from the true and beutifull traditional.

I love how you catch little but fantastic details! Like in the end. Thank you for sharing your outlook on Istanbul.

[nightwolf1453]

What a great video! fantastic insight, thankyou!

[michele1111]

very good video providing information and insight.

[alaraa75]

a nice clip you've got denniscallan.when did you record this?It seems to be pretty old. Istanbul have been changed a lot and looks different today.But I appreciate your work of course.

[denniscallan]

Hi, thanks or the kind comments. Yes, the Istanbul series is a bit old, photographed in 1997, but I'm going back in 2008 to shoot some more and discover how this marvelous city has improved. I'll work on my pronunciation.

Suleymaniye mosque is not the masterpiece of Architect Sinan. According to Sinan his best work is Selimiye mosque which is in Edirne.

[jrodowens]

you do a good job but you sound like your mocking the names of places and languages of the places your at with your strange accentuation and the general way you articulate things. Work on that and you've got good stuff.

[michele1111]

the director is not turkish and does not pretend to speak turkish; thus he pronounces the names of places using english alphabet.
