Cities - The Real Istanbul 2 of 2 - BBC Travel Documentary

[cemalson]

I am trying to grasp what the point is of making a travel documentary about istanbul in which there is no Turkish music and no one is speaking Turkish :P

[RuniTravel]

@cemalson Uhhmmm ... It attracts tourists and money ... Vids with Turkish music and in Turkish only appeals to Turkish people. Runi

turkey is the most westernized middle eastern city, when i say westernized i don't just mean buildings and mordern roads but the attitude and the culture of the people there is very westernized. awesome.

[OhMaDayzz]

@shubroto81 No not really, there are dozens of Middle Eastern cities that are more 'westernized', e.g. Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ramat Gan, Beirut, etc.

@Badwolf182 its probably hard for u to learn cuz we have suffix

[RuniTravel]

@secretcosta > Süffix ?? We have it too ... But I can admit our language is hard to learn ... I guess Turkish cannot be any easier than German... RuniX

[cemalson]

Actually it is really not bad English spoken by these two elegant ladies. It is charming English with a charming Turkish accent. Have you ever heard broken English Cockney, spoken by native born English Londoners? Now that's bad English!
