 So we just arrived here in Istanbul airport. It's currently three in the morning Two hours flying time between Tel Aviv and Istanbul This place is supposed to be the biggest airport in the world by square footage It's my first time in the spectacular airport. I've flown through Ataturk a number of times before Why am I in Istanbul airport in three in the morning? So believe it or not, this is the Easiest way to get between Israel and Ireland. There are no direct flights. I was going to start direct flights At some point then corona happened. I don't know if the idea is going to happen again There's another Israeli airline called Arkea who sometimes do flights in the summer charter flights But that's only a charter service. So there's no regular direct service between Israel and Ireland So my journey to get from Jerusalem to Cork involves getting to the train station train between Jerusalem and the airport Going between two countries sometimes it's Frankfurt Sometimes it's Netherlands today. It's Istanbul then getting to Dublin and then getting from Dublin to Cork by bus So it's an epic journey between these two cities Maybe one day there'll be direct flight between Cork and Jerusalem. Who knows? But for now we get to see if we can find Turkish coffee in Istanbul Airport at three in the morning a bit more fun We're out in Turkish coffee mecca. They have the Mehmet Efendi all the different sizes they have Turkish coffee with different flavorings cinnamon mastic whatever that is cardamom cinnamon again more different brands here of the Turkish coffee They also have this Mehmet Efendi and these little packs portion-sized packs This is the one I just bought the one for eight euro for this quantity. They have a bigger tub 14 euro These are Mehmet Efendi is of course the original brand of pre-grain coffee and Famous brand among Turkish coffee drinkers Coffee Given that I am in Turkey despite the fact that it's Three in the morning. I'm a villain of the chance to try as much Turkish coffee as one can have at 3 a.m I just picked up some Mehmet Efendi, which were those, you know, Turkish coffee. It's like the holy It's I mean, this is the mecca of Turkish coffee. It is an airport, but it's still a it's still turkey So I picked up some Mehmet Efendi tried out a couple of other really cool flavors and I got myself some Turkish coffee here. Oh, I've got one more thing of my turkey show until Aryan yogurt drink It's cool because all these things are so hard to find outside of Turkey. We're clearly not in Istanbul airport So for me to get from Jerusalem Where I live to Cork where I grew up train from my house in south Jerusalem to Jerusalem train station train to the airport. That's about one hour a little bit less It's the fast train then through whatever weird country is like cheapest and most convenient for that particular time Then to Dublin then a three and a half hour bus to Cork. So it's actually funny I think I timed it once how long it took me with all the stages to get between the two countries And it was like it was actually quicker to get to New York where there's like a direct flight So yeah, it's not easy to go between Israel and Ireland I mean, I can't imagine there's like a super big demand for flights between the two countries But if they ever were to you have the direct flights running again. Oh, man It would make my life easier. Perhaps the life of a few other people I don't know if many Irish people come to Israel used to be a big thing among like kind of religious people like pilgrims Probably less religious people doing that trip again Israelis love Ireland. Ireland's like one of the most popular tourist destinations for Israeli So maybe there's demand for at least a weekly flight, but there is none yet So anyway, that's why I'm here in Istanbul airport And we have exactly three hours to go between the next flight from Istanbul to Dublin And then another three hours until you get to Cork Thankfully, I Have my Turkish coffee. I might go track down some Turkish Rocky now, which is there and a seed-based drink So all is good Might make a few videos when I'm over in Ireland see what I get up to but yeah This is a journey from Jerusalem to Cork from Istanbul airport in Turkey over and out
