Tayvan’da Ünlü Bir Türk Rıfat Karlova – Taipei 🇹🇼

Tayvan’da Ünlü Bir Türk Rıfat Karlova – Taipei 🇹🇼

[Music] Bro, I’m losing my mind saying chicken, chicken. Let me hold it like this. Let me hold it and you stop. You’re going to talk . Now you’re saying chicken, chicken, but first, let’s do it like this. The headman of Taiwan has arrived. You can’t say anything bad about the headman of Taiwan, bro. I’ll say it like this. I say Şıda Şıda. Since I used to study in Şıda, there’s also a night market in Şıda. This is Shelin Night Market. One of the places people love most when they come to Taiwan is to visit night markets. I say, “Well, look, we’ve started, now we’ve started collecting votes.” I say, I think we should go into a night market. Let’s show people the night market. Okay. Great. Because Barış already knows there are different foods. There are different things in Turkish culture that we don’t eat. Let’s show them. We’ll find something there later . Even mice will eat them, so he won’t have a problem. He’ll eat everything. I didn’t eat mice, right? No, actually, I’m going to say it like this. Now this is the misunderstanding. They’ll say, “Is there a rat thing in Taiwan, or something ?” No. Since I make a television program, I had to have people on my television program for entertainment. You mentioned history. I thought the television was telling me, for entertainment. No, no, are you talking to him, or to me ? No, I said to him. Right? No, I filmed a rat in Sulaisi, Indonesia. You filmed a rat too. That’s right. There are many interesting places like this now. And since we were filming a television program, we’d go and find such extreme things for people’s entertainment. We’d introduce them. But normally, you can’t go to Taiwan and eat rats like that. There’s no such thing . Yes. There is in Indonesia. There are there. That’s true. There is in Laos. There is. The Laotians are also among Chinese tribes. Tribes that came from China. Maybe the Hunming region of China, or maybe tribes. There’s no such thing in Taiwan. For example, there aren’t any cats, dogs, or anything like that, but if you’re making a TV show, you make it a hassle, saying you’ll find something, and you go and find it. Meanwhile, we take pictures. How long have you been in Taiwan? I’ve been in Taiwan for 18 years. I came in 2006. 18 years. You know Chinese very well. The Chinese department studies Chinese anyway. Did you study there? I graduated from Mersin University. Mersin University. I graduated from German, tourism, and hotel management. Like me. Exactly. After that, I went and studied Chinese at Ankara University. Then I won a scholarship. I came here. I did my master’s degree here. I recently graduated from my new university. Look, my diplomas are real, huh? I recently graduated from Cappadocia University as a tourist guide. My God. Tourist. I also studied tourist guiding in Marmara. Is there an International DBL University? I’ll show you the plain chicken restaurant. You’re saying something like, “Okay, right?” You say, “They got their diploma from the famous, world-wide International University of Dablo.” Is that a fake, fake thing? There’s another thing . There’s a name for it: Dublin. For example, the Koç branch is in Çorum . Do you know what happens when you do fake work? I’m sad to say this. You can’t show your university friends, your photos, or share any memories from university. Now I’m going to bring up the first university I attended between the ages of 18 and 21. I know my friends. I played cards with them . Even I have some. Can I tell you? I dropped out. I have a lot of them. Oh, I mean, we have memories. There are photos. The places we visited, the streets. You tell about them, and when you do, you remember them with pleasure. And now, when these fake, dubious incidents come out, they finally come out. They ask a former member of parliament, “Here, your diploma is fake .” To prove it, they ask if you have a photo from your university years. The man said, “I’ve never had such a situation before,” he said in college. My late father bought it in 1981 when I was born, okay? There’s a photographer somewhere. We even have photos from the 1980s. My father’s father, my late father, 39 He was born in Istanbul; there’s a photo of him from the 1960s. My father attended law school back then. He was at Istanbul Law School. My father has records and stuff. He studies for a year or two, then drops out, goes into the business world, and so on. I mean, these things weren’t like that, but Mokt, there wasn’t such a situation, but that’s a pretty interesting excuse. After that, you stay here. Then I stayed here. I started doing television programs and stuff. I won awards while doing stage shows. I won Taiwan’s biggest television award . I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. Later, do you even know about this? Look, I tell you all the time. The Tom Cruise chatter. Will Smith came on my program. They did. [Laughter] When you first came, they always showed you to me . Rıfat, I say, the Turk who came in 2015. Everyone means Rıfat. He’s incredibly well-introduced Turkey, by the way. Dude, what I love the most is this. They love Turks here, as always . God bless you. That’s a very important thing. I’ll say this. They might say, “You’re bragging a bit, but I’ll say this, man. When I came here to Taiwan, the number of tourists going from Taiwan to Turkey was around 16,000. Now, let’s go back to before the pandemic , it’s increased by 100,000 flights. It’s increased to two flights. One flight per day has increased to two flights per day. Yes. Well, Turkish Airlines flies here directly, etc. So, good things are happening. Of course, this isn’t just me. The work of Turkish Airlines, the fact that we have friends like Barış. Everyone who comes here and creates added value is working for Turkey. That’s the way it is. When you come to a country, you create added value for that country. Of course . For example, I’m also a Taiwanese citizen. Look, there are two flags in the world. Look, I don’t wave any other flags. One is the Turkish flag, the other is Taiwanese. Here’s the flag of the Republic of China. That’s my wife’s children. That’s my wife’s children, etc. So, I have two daughters. I guess when you marry a Taiwanese here, it’s always a girl . I have two daughters too. Yes, I already wanted a girl, brother. I already wanted a girl. I mean, I’m happy. He has a little girl. She’s so cute. Maşallah. They call yours, too, they call them hunşuer here, brother. Hunuer, meaning when a Taiwanese marries an Asian and a Westerner, they call them hunşer. So, mixed-race, mixed-race kids. Yes. Right? Yours are mixed-race too. Mixed-race, brother. They’re beautiful. They’re so cute. And their Turkish is good, too, and mine are. They speak Turkish very well. I see your kids, but yours. I admire them. For example, even though my kid is in Turkey, his Turkish isn’t as good as Rıfat’s kids . Mine are good. And he goes to school in Turkey. Not that good yet. My kids never went to school in Turkey, though. I know. Rıfat’s done a pretty good job of that here. By the way, we stopped by the night market. Yes. Shelin Night Market is famous in Taiwan. Think of the food market in Marmaris. When you come here, you’ll visit the night market. You’ll eat. You’ll shop. You can buy different products. You can buy t-shirts. I really like the t-shirt shops. There are some really original t-shirt shops like this. Look, buy one, get one free. 390 NT 600 L. Exactly. 550 L, two for 550 L, man. Good. Yes, it ‘s pretty good. There are a lot of them in the area I stay. I’ll buy a lot. They’re in the Kadıköy area. I forget the name now. This is Artel. There’s Martel. And also a market. The night market is where this is, it’s a very popular place. What was it in? So, what was the name of which area? Shem Araya. Well, Sheemen is a bit more Linkia Night Market. It’s like the Kadıköy area. Okay. Every night market has its own atmosphere. It has its own culture. Isn’t that place entirely food-focused ? Those places are always food-focused. This place is more like clothing, some of it food- focused. Now, when we go to the food-focused area, you’ll see the crowd. That’s more crowded. But in some night markets, the entire market starts and opens up in the evening. Can I tell you? You know, like this, small market? Cars and stuff come, but this is normally where the shops were before the night market . You know, there are shops and stuff here anyway. Souvenirs. Gift shops. This is a bit more of a touristy area. You can go there too. It doesn’t matter. Now, isn’t where I stay pretty touristy too? Kadıköy. That’s where young people hang out. There are pubs and things like that. Yes. There are venues, but there are no dance events. The dance events and things like that are more upscale . There’s TP1, or if you’re going to 101. You know, the building where 45 Frankies is. There was a different club on each floor . You need a permit. Those places are much nicer, I mean. Claps, maps, etc. Take off your Fatih ring, let’s go. Look, now we’re at the night market. Let me tell you something. You’re here, and the things you buy are cheap. For example, if you’re going to eat, you can get something here for 6070 T. But of course, you have to be careful. For example, these are pork sausages, but the Taiwanese people love them. Look, look at the prices. The little one. He recognized me right away. Hey Niha, Niha, here’s 30 Taiwanese dollars, 40 Taiwanese dollars. There’s something different there. We don’t eat it, I mean, it’s not in our culture. Pig’s blood. Oh, look at the black pudding. Black pudding. Yes, pudding anyway. Look, look, look. But should he show it? See, he showed it. They sell it in round shapes in England. Let me see, he’ll show you a little. He was curious too. He said, “Turks,” I said, “they eat pig’s blood and stuff.” It’s not really in our culture. A friend loves it. Look, he actually said something different. He said faith in Turkey isn’t like those things, we’re not as strict as the Arabs, you know. Some people eat it, some don’t. For example, our friend eats it. We respectfully greet it. There’s no problem. You can eat it. He’s yours right now, and you eat it too. I eat it, but when it’s blood, it makes a little blood, brother. It makes blood. If you like it, you eat it. In Norway, in the Arctic circle, they make kam sheesh soup. Without knowing this, when I went to Spain for work, my British friends told me, ” Brother, I ate blood pudding, round rice, something I don’t know, it was ka.” What did I say? They said blood pudding. I mean, if it came to me other than that, I would never pay for it in the real world. No, no, not like that. Shall we play? Oh, we play these. These are things that happen all the time in Taiwan, but I think we should play more compulsory, not with weapons. Wait, there’s that here. I think we should play more compulsory. Okuli is a little harder. There’s broken. You do it by hand like this. This is harder. Now it’s easy with weapons. Pat, pat. The rules of the Yoshi game. Everyone has one turn, from top to bottom . You start from here, you finish there. I mean , no throwing everything away. For example, let’s do it like this. Let’s say Barış’s turn is like this. The pink one. Yours is purple. Mine is red. So let’s start with Barış. Paste. That’s it, go ahead. Down. Down okay. Okay. Good. Well done. Brother, should I go to Survivor? Baris, how long have you been here? Well, brother, I’ve been coming and going since 2015. It’s been coming and going since 2015. It’s been 10 years. Well, I sent you a message saying I’m sitting right next to you. But I’m back, right? I’m back. You’re back. We talked. I mean, I’ll get back to the messages, friends. So, what’s wrong with you? You have two left now. It’s not easy either, huh? Don’t look at that, it was difficult. Maşallah. Maşallah. Really, look, I scored one. See, it’s the same thing, right? Two birds with one stone. Two birds with one stone. It’s incredible. Oh, man. I have no free time. Look, brother. Two left, brother. God, something like this can’t happen. This is the first time I’ve scored this quickly in my life. I have two left, brother. Take an extra. Take it. You can’t convey the incident, he says, you can’t convey it. Show the power of Fatih Türk against him. You’re left-handed, right? It’s as if you play right-footed football, but you’re left-handed. I’m left-handed, brother. What a surprise! It’s like a blast. More or less, God willing. Oh, we have 29 points right now. He’ll add up the final points and give us a gift. Oh no. I swear, he broke my concentration, or I wouldn’t have been able to. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to score. Applause again . Applause. Now we have 33 points, friends. Shall we do 33 points? You know, you travel a lot. Let’s give you one thing. This neck collar. Okay. Those three-eyed ones are nice. Okay. He tells me, “You have two kids,” he says. “Let’s give you two .” He says, “One.” Normally, we were entitled to one. Now, he says, ” There are two kids at home, they’ll wait.” “Shush, no need, brother.” Brother, I was going to give you both a child or something. No, brother, put it in your bag right now. What? Anyway, we bought two. As you know, friends, I’ve been traveling for years , and we donate all our income to scholarships for students affected by the earthquake in Darü Şafaka . Justin Engl Language Schools were incredibly helpful to me on this journey, and they still are. That’s why I’ll recommend choosing Justin English Language Schools’ language schools in America and Turkey, and I’ll do a little comparison. How can you learn a language? Besides traveling the world, English is now very important in business and trade. It’s more important than anything else. So how can you learn English? First, you can learn it in university preparatory departments. I’ll turn around. Also, take a look at the view behind you. If you pay between 600,000 and 2 million lira, they can teach you English in university preparatory departments. Alternatively, if you take Just English or any other language course, you can get language education for between 80,000 and 200,000,000 lira, or you can have your children take it. And the third option is to learn with artificial intelligence. Yes, this will cost you almost zero lira. Of course, Justin English isn’t ignoring the AI ​​revolution. It also offers the best learning method with AI-supported education. We’ll start with this. The eating at the Shilling Night Market thing has started. Yes, man. I hate everything here. Steamfu, that’s so bad. I said I smelled it first, I guess there ‘s a sewer here, everyone’s laughing at me. Shall we try it? Look, eat it. It’s not here. It’s not here. I’ll show you later. I won’t eat that, but I’ll eat everything else, man. I eat it. I don’t eat that. Well, I’ll say it right now. When you come here, there are people who have food problems . Of course, you shouldn’t start with stinky or anything like that. That’s a little later. Brother, I eat everything else, though. But I came from China, you know. Oh, if you came from China, Chinese cuisine and Taiwanese cuisine are very similar. Especially these Far Eastern dishes you eat in restaurants. But other than that, in the night market culture, sometimes there are foods produced by the Taiwanese that aren’t normally made by them . For example, look, you come here, you must try this. This tarş. Look. Bubble tea. Do you see Cunay çağ ? These are unique to Taiwan, and the prices are 50-60 . That’s 50. And Taiwan. It’s 3 times richer than Turkey. Per capita? Of course. And Taiwan is 22 times smaller than Turkey. 2.5-3 times richer. Hah. It stinks. Fuck. It came, it came. Oh. It came. Wait. Where is it? Stop right there, stop. You smell it from somewhere. It smells bro. Here it is. Here it is, look here. There it is. There it is. I found it, bro. Look at that. Look at this bad smelling tofu, bro. Bad smelling tofu. It smells really bad, though. Shall I get you one? Here it is, son. Wait wait, let me get you one. Wait wait, wait, wait. I’m getting it, wait. Friends, let me summarize it like this. There are two things written at the entrance of cinemas. I have one. Eating is prohibited. Talking on the phone is prohibited. Eating stink tofu is prohibited. I mean, just pull it like that. One stink tofu. Stinky toku. Oh man. I wish you could smell it right now. It’s like they dropped a fart bomb. Bad. Dude, why are you meeting this way? I don’t know. Look, this is the fried one. There is also a boiled one. They ferment it. It is kept in soy sauce. After letting it sit, this smell intensifies. Then they fry it, and that smell sticks to it. I’ll get that pancake over there. That ‘s good. I’ll take the flatbread. It’s good, it’s good. But I have to say something. There’s no food that smells this bad and tastes this good. I mean, normally it smells bad. It’s bad, you know. It smells bad here but it doesn’t taste bad. There’s a fish called rock. Are you tired? Do you eat it? I eat it, dear. These aren’t a problem for me. I love it because of the smell. There’s rock fish in Norway. That’s really bad too, but bird fish. That’s disgrace. That’s bad too. I love that too, but. Does it taste good? It tastes good. Do people eat it and throw up on the internet? No, I don’t throw up. Why would I throw up? You’ll love it. You’ll love this one too. After that, look. Oyster X is good. It’s also very famous. Oyster is pretty famous. That one is very famous. Let me show you this one while they make it. This one is also good. No Turk can eat this and say they didn’t like it. They make it better over there. It’s very famous further on. Gozleme is very famous. Food. Mantı. You see it’s very famous again. Mantı. And this is cheap too. Look, look. They even serve it, man. Oh, look, you buy it from here and take it home immediately. Look, 17 of them are 120, which is 280 L or so. 8 of them are 60 NT, bro. I multiply by 1.5, which is 14 right now, right? Yes. When we first came here to Taiwan, I said that in Turkish lira, it was about 14. 15 When I got married in 2015, one Turkish lira was 11 Taiwan dollars. Today, 1 Taiwan dollar is 1.4 Turkish lira. Yes. And there’s something interesting. I’ll tell you this. For example, we came to Taiwan. A luxury car you bought 18 years ago. For example, let’s say that if it was 3 million NT in Taiwanese currency, that car is still 3 million NT now. And whatever gas money was 18 years ago, it’s still the same now. Last year and this year, when I came last year, I was paying 999 to the gym. Come on. This year, the year I came, it was 999 lira. Yes. You always pay the same. The gym has been really useful. I do it, bro. I do it, bro. You work out in Taiwan. How old are you by the way? 42. 83 years old. You’re 83. I’m from 80. I’m 81. They crush me because I’m the youngest. It came and went. They put pickles on it. You’ll eat pickles too. There’s sauce and stuff. Let her package it now. Because the seating area is a bit difficult. We can sit in the back if you want. If you want to eat. You can also eat by hand. It doesn’t matter. Taiwanese. I said my friend is a YouTuber, you know, she creates content and I said the first kokoric dofu she’ll ever eat in her life. Kokarcılık. Kokarcılı. Let’s buy gözleme from that auntie. The gözleme maker you mentioned. That auntie. She’s very famous, though. Look, that auntie was here when I came 18 years ago . I mean, I will buy a lot of things from this auntie. Ninja auntie is 12. Always here. Always here. She never changes. The price hasn’t changed either. If it was 30 18 years ago , it’s 30 now. Is this 40 with egg? Look, the egg says jihadan. If you add egg, it’s 40 enti. I’ll have egg. Do you want it, Fatih? Let’s try it. Wait, I have 100. Let ‘s do it like this. Take one. I’ll do something. You take one and split it in half. Because I’m going to take you to a nice restaurant. I’ll order food there. Exactly. Okay. Would you take one and order two ? Let me tell you. Look, look. This fried one was in the thing you just saw . It was cooked on a pan. I actually loved it. Everyone came back from the smell. Look, it was prepared right away. Oh, should this be cooled? Look at that thing. With egg. See? Bite it, brother. Bite it. It has a little bit of sauce on it like this. See? It has a sweet-spicy sauce. Bite it, dad, you’ll like this. It’s pretty good. Take it. Oh, good. This is pretty good. This is very good. This is very good. Very good . Very good. Very good. Now we’re outside the night market. We can also enter the inner parts of the night market through this side street. Shall we do something? Shall we go to the other part of the night market? Instead of the more crowded one, like this, after that, I’ll show you some scratchcards here. Scratchcards are a culture here. There are a million different kinds of scratchcards. So many. Then I ‘ll take you to the toilet restaurant. The concept is toilets, you know. But first, I thought we’d get to know the night market a little. You’d chat with the people, smell different foods, etc. We’re having a blast anyway. Look, it’s almost 7:00. Around 18:00, things start to open around 18:00, so there are lights and everything. Until 12:00, that is, until midnight, this place is packed. It’ll be even fuller inside soon, around 7:00 or 8:00. There are lens shops, sir, let me tell you, there are tattoo parlors. There are restaurants in between. You can find anything you can think of. There are phone shops. For example, you’ll wear a case on your phone. You can get a case here, you can change the screen. There are lots of things. My friend Barış mentioned scratchcards ; the Taiwanese love them. You can play scratchcards while getting a foot massage . Yes. Look, I got this thing massaged. I had it done. A cup? A cup? Look. Oh, I saw it. How? Did it feel good? It felt good. It’s true Somalia. Look, you get a foot massage and a scratchcard. You scratch while you get a foot massage, and it’s open 24 hours, huh? 24-hour scratchcards. Wait, let’s get it. Let’s get 200. Okay, then let’s get 100. Exactly. Let’s just say it. There are hundreds there. Son, look, if I win, I’m here. Go, I’ve shot a commercial here before. Can I get it? Give it to me right away, brother. They shot a commercial here before. Yes, I shot a commercial here. By the way, there are also 2,000 and 3,000 lira. Scratch-off, Ibay, Ibay, Iba, you know, first of all. Okay. I said, you choose for us. He chose this and gave me one, you know, this place is professional. There’s no need to spend your own money. Barış Bu, is that what we do, brother? Yes, you do. Then we’ll see. I’ll do it like this, then I’ll show you. You’ll see in a minute. Oh my God. Will it come out in Turkey? It says one here. I’ll see if it comes out the same, we’ll know right now . It says frog, toad. We’ll know if something comes up. There’s 3,000 here. Come on, 100,000 dollars, something came up . At most 600,000 Taiwan dollars . Because you gave 100 nti, there’s a 2,000 3-digit coin. It says if the frog is bigger than the duck, you win. Now, here’s 3,000 . So what happens? Let’s say there are 100 dollars. For you to win 100, there has to be more frogs than ducks. But our frog and duck didn’t have 5. Shame on you. There’s another one right there. Let’s take a look at this. Yes, it’s very nice. What did it come out with? One of the 3 is nothing. He says if a star had appeared here, he would have received 500. Brother, this is the unlucky part of peace. It didn’t happen. Oh, well, I didn’t even read it now. The unlucky part of peace. Let’s see what the deal is? Does Caşim yavya come out? God, he won 0,000 dollars. But Yav comes out. C comes out. A 6 should come out here. Find the 6th. Take the money. 6. Because 6 is the lucky number in Chinese culture. Look, you don’t have a 6. How don’t you? Here is 6. 6. Meaning [Music] Tayo Nimeo. Now let’s do it from here. This shape should appear here. Ok. Come on, God. Come on. Let it come out, Fatih. Should we send you out of here for a profit? Oh, you’re great. Zero. Nothing came of it. Anyway, what a shame. I didn’t touch it. No, sheesh, bye-bye. Now let’s go towards the part where this temple is from here. Okay, bro. Let’s tell you a little more about the food. They have crab legs and things there. They’re very famous there. They ‘re beautiful there. Look, the massage parlors, massages are cheap. We can show you the prices here and there. It’s 500 for 30 minutes, bro. Now I have something to ask you. They confuse Taiwan and Thailand a lot in Turkey. We get scabies. Yes. Yes. Don’t ask, bro. We get a lot of scabies, bro. Look, I have friends who know me , they tell me that there’s an incident in Thailand. Links come to me immediately. Is there an earthquake there? Hey, are there any elephants there? Are there this or that, friends say. I say, look, I’m in Taiwan now. He can’t stand it. I say, well. I say, look, this place speaks Chinese. Chinese. Republic of China. Ha ha. That’s confusion. Republic of China. Republic of China. Officially, it’s Formosa. The Dutch say it’s Dutch. It’s like this: Formosa, the Portuguese say. Isla Formoso. Beautiful. The Dutch, for example, have blond babies here . The reason they call it Formosa is because Formosa means beautiful island in Portuguese. They discovered Taiwan in the 1600s and 1500s , and there were still indigenous people living there. They call this place indigenous people. They get their faces tattooed. They get tattoos, they like to drink, they sing. They’re interested in sports. A lot of baseball players, famous baseball players, come from them. It’s a different culture, in other words. There are 16 official tribes. I mean, they all have different languages. Of course, despite being a very small island. It’s a small island with 23 million people. It’s a technological country anyway, and security here means they won’t steal your wallet. Nothing can happen with a phone, right? It’s very safe. It’s very safe. Is there a Turkish community today? I said, 300 people today. We went to a park. There’s a basketball court. There are basketballs. I said, we need to steal these. They can’t stay in plain sight. There’s a problem here. Look, let’s make a bet with you too. Huh? Let’s collect a million-dollar backpack each, right? Let’s collect money. Let’s all three of us have a million dollars. Let’s say we have $1 million in our pockets and bags until morning . Let’s yell, “Rob us.” Yes. Not a soul in the whole of Taiwan would steal that money. Oh my God. Even if we actually had money, they wouldn’t steal it. If it were in Turkey, on top of that, Turkey would wipe us off the map. They’d make us cry, for goodness sake. Oh, this thing is three-dimensional, like what happens in China and Japan. Yes. Little baby, look. He’s going to poop soon. He poops and stuff too. Are you serious? He has that kind of joke. What’s his deal with this shit? Taiwanese people don’t hang out with that kind of stuff all the time. They like fun things. Oh, I mean, here it is , here it is, he infantilizes God, let me tell you, he makes poop and poo things fun. Darkur , darkur, simple people, peaceful people, nothing will happen. Yes, it’s good. Look, this place is full now, but this place is full , food left and right, and right ahead, there’s a temple. There’s one . Look, they have Angus Beef. They make it really well. Flaming like that. Angus beef. Look, this stuffing cheese inside lobster could be from Thailand. That’s right. Good oysters. Oh, it just makes it go through the roof. Oh, I know he does this a lot. I mean, cholesterol skyrockets. Cholesterol skyrockets? They all hit me hard. Look, man , you know meat, you know girl he says. He says, “Yeah, you know me.” Where do I know you? Now, sometimes Taiwanese people compare foreigners to each other. Just like we compare them to each other, they compare us to each other. Yes. Yes. And they’re shy, sometimes they can’t ask, can’t say, “Are you him?” Yes, I noticed. He’s squirming because he’s squirming. Look, this is also very famous. Look inside the pork, I mean, the pork sausage, come and pull this. This is very special. Look in the line. There’s 50 people, 60 people. It’s a perfect sausage. By the way, are these the ones? I think they put kimchi and mimchi in it. They put vegetables and stuff inside. This one is rice stuffed inside the intestines, inside the pork intestines. This one has pork intestines on the outside and rice on the inside. The other one is like a rice sausage. Yes, it’s like a rice sausage. This one is made from fish. Look, that observation came up again here. Hmm, but look, the fried food you just ate is made in that pan over there. See? This is a little healthier. Then the fruit and juice came out. Look at the crowd at 7:00. People are eating. On the other hand, the population is the same as Istanbul, which is 22 million. That’s 22 million. The population of Taipei is 56-6 million. That’s 22 of the entire country. Yes. And it’s one of the rare countries in the world whose population is decreasing. Taiwan’s population is decreasing every year. Japan. That’s why they’re warriors like us. Yes. Even the Taiwanese are joking. I say, look, your population was decreasing. I made two. Let’s bring one from Turkey. I added two. I also added one myself. There weren’t even any more grains added. Look, this one, for example, is also famous. It’s kind of like soup. Pasta. Thin pasta. Like vermicelli soup. Yes. It’s very similar. Look, this one, for example, is king crab meat. This comes from Kamchatka. These king crabs are caught colder. The Japanese love them. My friends catch it in the Arctic Circle . We ate there. I showed you ten videos. It’s very hard to catch, though. Yes. My friend does it for me. He’s doing his job. He’s a fisherman. There’s a video of whales and king crabs in the Arctic Circle . I stayed at their house anyway. Oh, they come here and we eat them here too . In Norway, they call it kamchat kan krap, not king crab. They call it Kamchatka crab. It’s very cheap there too. In the Saporo region. Of course, of course. It’s cheap there. The sea is always cold in the north. Look, this is a temple. The magnificent culture of Tao temples. Taoist. Yes. Look, this is nice too. I love this too . Oh, look, this is boneless chicken. It’s really good. This is also very good. The chicken is great. Yes. Finally, I come back to say hello to my friends. Sometimes they don’t notice , though. The Taiwanese people are really good. I mean, in our Turkish culture, there’s no such thing as eating in crowds. We usually sit somewhere. A fight is sure to break out. Look, we’re here, but I don’t have one here. Oh, the kids love this . These are very good fruit juices. Fights are rare in Taiwan. I was just saying, there’s a street I forgot the name of. Everywhere is bars , people are drinking like this. We’re there with friends. I said, “Man, how can there not be a fight here?” I go to Google and search for fights in the region. I found a news story. Americans fight among themselves, I believe. Few. Few. Fights are very rare here. I also have very rare fights, only in traffic . They do sometimes. They fight in traffic. That’s how it happens. It was very rare in China too, but people do step on traffic. It’s not like that here in China. The Taiwanese don’t want to mess with the police. If they’re going to fight, for example, they approach and look, they get angry, but nothing happens. I mean, they can’t make that hand gesture. Because they know if they make a hand gesture, the police are trouble. Especially guns, man. Look, no one here is Taiwanese. There’s no way anyone here will ever see a gun in their life, except for military service. Is military service mandatory here? Mandatory. How long? Well, the duration has always changed. At one point, it was 6 months. At another, it was 9 months. Then they said they’d extend it to a year. But in the beginning, 30-40 years ago, when things were more similar with China, military service was three years. Then they reduced it by two years. Then they reduced it by one year. But these days, if I remember correctly, it’s 67 months. These days, it’s like six months or so. Is there always something going on? We’re going to fight China. China will come. No. Don’t look at it, man. Do people have that fear? I don’t think so. They know there won’t be a war. They just want China to keep us from putting too much pressure on us. But the military is always on alert. It’s mandatory. America sells weapons. You have to buy them. There’s no way I won’t buy them. Yes. That’s America, it’s like protection money, it gets that money from Taiwan every year. But generally, no one here wants to fight China either. Because, man, if you fight China, you’ll lose. You’ll definitely lose 1.5 billion. China, without America’s protection, would barge in anyway. Of course, if America didn’t, it would come. And there’s also this: Now, China will come here. Well, he’ll have to spend troops too. You have to surround Taiwan. So what are you going to do here? And it happened. You came, for example, and you surrounded it. You couldn’t take it. Come on, America, or something. You couldn’t take it. This time, Taiwan will be completely gone. Of course, the charisma is gone . Don’t look at it. China is also a little hesitant against America. They trade together , after all. They’re hesitant. They also have to support 1.5 billion people. It’s not easy. Their biggest market is American brands, Taiwan. Of course, you’re right. They have a second thing, a current account, but they don’t want to give up on this either. I explained the history in the first episode. Those who are curious can go and watch it. Here’s Shen Shek, of course, the continuation of the Republic of China. They came here in 1949, and the Republic of China continues its life here. Are you also providing guidance to those who are coming here now? I don’t. I’m taking Turkey from Taiwan to Turkey. If you want, let’s start here and get out of the way. It says Pupu restaurant, meaning [ __ ] fantası. Pupu puaka poop. Poop. Yes. Yes. We enter from here, look. It says Modern toyet. We dive in from there. You’ll understand the whole situation when you go straight in. Look, you see everywhere. Poops, poops, poops like this . Oh, you cute poops. Oh, you’re sitting on the toilet thing. Exactly. Everything is a concept, toilet friends here. Look, they shit. They eat [ __ ]. This is the concept. You sit on the latrines. You can buy these if you want. If you’re going to take a photo, take a photo with these writings. Let’s see how it goes. Let’s take a shit, right? The food also comes in the thing. Things like these toilet bowls are appetizing. Things like that are sold. We need panties, man. We’ll have ice cream. We’ll definitely eat the ice cream. No, should that be scraped off? [Music] İlkan, I haven’t met him myself, but we used to follow him on Instagram and I was going to come to Taiwan. I talked to him like you did . We were going to interview him when he was playing basketball in Taiwan, but it didn’t happen. He passed away, and it’s a really bad, heartbreaking event. Because we were watching his life through the questions at the kid’s Daça. He had a very good life. He played basketball, dived, etc. Here’s an incredibly good athlete, selected in the brilliant NBA draft. He had some bad luck. He couldn’t play in the NBA, etc., but he represented Turkey in Taiwan. A drunk guy comes and kills him. You’re more knowledgeable, man. Can you explain? Let me put it this way. I met İlkan in Taiwan. He was coming to Taiwan. He texted me. He said, “I’m coming to Taiwan.” Let’s meet after that. I said, “Okay.” İlkan loves him too. You know, he makes videos and shares his life . That’s where I met İlkan; I’m from Tekirdağ, after all. İlkan was also from Tekirdağ. Later, İlkan and I met Taiwan. We shot videos together. We traveled together and talked about it. I went to his game. He represented Turkey very well there . There was an earthquake in Turkey at the time. His team helped Turkey, Maraş . They even hung a Turkish flag on the basketball hoop to show support. Then, when İlkan’s contract ended here, I really wanted İlkan to stay in Taiwan. He loved Taiwan too. He said, “Well, I’m already 3435, after all. Towards the end of his career, he wanted to play basketball somewhere more comfortable. He also loved the atmosphere here. People started to see him as a star. He started to develop fans and such. There’s also the sea here. He loves hanging out, fishing, and so on. But it just didn’t happen. So, we were looking for a new contract here, and then he first moved to Daça, Turkey. He said, ‘I’m going to Daça,’ and on the first night of his move, his friends stopped at the gas station. Then, while they were filling up, İlk said, ‘I just arrived in Daça.’ There’s a statue there, too. There’s a statue at the intersection, and he says, ‘Let’s move to the middle of the road.’ He says, ‘ Let’s take a photo of a statue there.’ After all, we’re in Daça, so I’ll share it. When we say he goes over to the statue, one of the guys is incredibly drunk, I mean, he’s drunk. He’s already a dacha. He’s drunk, man, and he’s coming so fast, there’s footage of it online, you can find it. First, he hits the middle median strip, then it veers like this. After veering, it hits the area where İlkan was, sending İlkan flying. İlkan in the back gets caught between the statue, sort of like that. It throws İlkan backwards. Of course, these events happened later. We lost İlkan. He passed away. The guy runs away. After running, he hides. After hiding, they search and hunt him down. Finally, we found İlkan somehow. You know, I told them on Instagram not to do it, not to do it, to catch this guy. I worked really hard, man. The video reached 40 million views. I said, “This man shed someone’s blood, he’s practically committed murder.” But let’s talk about the punishment you get in Turkey after committing a murder, even after being involved in something like this, he served two or three months in prison. Then I stepped in and got him out. Otherwise, if he called, he wouldn’t have answered at all. He’s always in pain, drunk, hitting, running away, killing, doing everything, hiding, and getting injured, and so on. Anyway, that’s how I tried to explain it. We said they took him into custody again, maybe he’d just cop something. It could be a turning point for Turkey, you know, if a good sentence is issued for this person after this incident because there are so many people in Turkey who lost their lives this way , and I received so many messages that they hit my father, my aunt, we came from Germany and they hit them. I mean, so many people lost their lives this way and they are still in prison. Think about it, the American judiciary put him in prison. We didn’t put him in Turkey, look, can I tell you something ? If he had stayed in Turkey, nothing would have happened. Of course, if he had stayed in Turkey, nothing would have happened. Let me put it this way, the man who hit İlkan is out there right now. This kid wasn’t intoxicated. This kid just didn’t have a driver’s license. He would have said, “Okay.” He would have said, “I made a mistake.” I subtracted 5. Look, İlkan’s employee, they caught the murderer who hit him . If I remember correctly, he will serve about 1.5 to 2 years. I think he’s out there again right now . Exactly. He will serve 1.5 to 2 years. After that, he is out, and the person he killed is a national team player. He’s an athlete and a person everyone loves. Officially, but the Bas Federation and all that doesn’t care. This is murder, by the way. This is murder, by the way. I mean, murder. I mean, remove it, you know. Wasn’t he drunk on a sidewalk at that time? Of course, the first thing is in the middle. On the sidewalk in the middle. I swear, I always say it in Turkey, I’ve said it in my posts. You won’t die. Because the moment you die, no one will defend you. Don’t let anyone misunderstand this. We’re saddened, I always say we’re saddened, and that’s how we lost our first lady. Sadder and even sadder, the people who took İlkan to the hospital that day reached out to me. They said, “We took him to the hospital because nurses and doctors, you know, there are first aid specialists like that, ” they said, “We knew he was an athlete the moment we intervened .” Because you undress him, his muscles are strong, he said. In other words, he said he worked very hard to avoid dying. I mean, a normal person would have died right there when a vehicle coming that fast hit him. İlkan said he lasted maybe 15 minutes all the way to the hospital. He lasted about 15 more minutes, but he said, “I mean, a man like me is already ours ,” he said, “we saw it visually,” he said, “we already knew he wouldn’t survive.” He said there are visuals and such, “we don’t share them,” but he said, “visually,” he said, “he really wasn’t in good condition.” I mean, he suffered some serious damage there, but they said he was very strong because he was an athlete, and we lost him first. Later, I was in Turkey at the time, and I went to his funeral, to Kapaklı, Tekirdağ. I really wanted İlkan to stay here. You know, there’s that MMF song that says I couldn’t make it happen, but I tried , I said, I tried, I messaged someone, I told the managers, look, this kid is really good. He loved Taiwan, but we couldn’t make it happen, and that’s how we lost our first. I swear, we lost our first. Dude, this is piss, I mean, you know, piss yellow, how does the toilet taste like ammonia, bro? Look, I’ve seen this before, but I’ve never said this. I’m seeing it for the first time. Absolute piss, dude. Absolute piss. The concept is good, though. The concept is good. You can buy them here if you want . I mean, for example, you came here and liked this concept. You can buy this cup when you leave here if you want. Of course, there’s a thing downstairs. Oh. There’s an unused one. You can buy that. What was the name of this place? Modern. Yes. The food has arrived. Look, there’s curry sauce here and there. Anyone who wants can put curry on curry. They even make that cute like this. It’s always cute from a distance like this. I mean, poop is something unpleasant but they’ve made it cute. Everyone should look like this. Everywhere, everywhere [ __ ] Everywhere, up to the walls. [Music] You said you wouldn’t eat curry. There’s curry if you want, but this curry is a bit more Japanese curry, I mean, not curry. What do they call it? Indian curry is more burning like this. [Music] [ __ ] And you? I’m alive. It’s not that bad. I know, but I don’t like it, bro. I eat everything, by the way. I’m from Taiwan, I don’t eat that, I don’t eat that, I don’t do that. The only thing I don’t eat is this, bro . Anyway, look, they’ve sauced it. See? It already has sauce in it. What you do is you take it from here as a piece. You can even see it with nothing. Take a piece from here with your hand. Like a pizza. Okay. Take a piece from here with your hand. Okay. Throw it straight into your mouth. These friends are stinky tofu. Stinky tofu, as the name suggests. Come on, let me throw one in my mouth. I haven’t had it in months, huh? Let me throw one in my mouth. Dude, it stinks. Dude, it stinks. Let them kick us out here. Dude, we’re practically in a toilet concept. [ __ ] It stinks . Hide it, hide it. It’s very nice , bro. It’s very nice, but okay, I mean, right now, in a toilet concept, the smell and the sight have literally merged in your body. I mean, it has a sour taste. It has a sour, vinegary taste. There’s a mobile truck coming to the corner in front of our house. Apparently, there’s a famous one there. Brother, there’s also a joke. They say the worse it smells, the better it tastes. Yes. I swear, I liked it. It’s good. I couldn’t say it for months either. I mean, there’s no other food in the world that smells this bad and tastes this good. I don’t think it tastes bad. It’s edible . Is this for those who want to come on vacation from Turkey, for those who want to live there? You ‘ve got a message for me. I think this guy needs to be in charge of the country. He’s nationalistic, but he at least knows every country. Ask me again, if you want. Does anyone want to live in the Medde? What advice do you have for Turks? Well, naturally, the people who follow us now talk a lot about the beautiful aspects of Taiwan. They want to see it, they want to travel here . It’s worth coming. If you’re coming, the airfare can be a bit expensive, but you can usually find tickets for around $1,000 through special offers . When you arrive, you should stay in Taiwan for at least 7-8 days. You’ll have a great time. You’ll learn about Chinese culture. You’ll have a great time. But my advice to Turks who come this far is to combine Taiwan with a few other places. For example, what would happen? Vietnam. Well, Vietnam, then Taiwan, or Hong Kong, or Taiwan , or Japan, or Taiwan, or Turkey. But maybe because Japan is a much larger country, it could be a solo trip. Because Japan is geographically larger and has a larger surface area. But I think someone who comes to Taiwan will love it. They love the people, they love the safety. If you’re not too picky about food, you know, if you like food, let’s say chicken, rice, pasta , or something like that. If you don’t eat those, there’s Western food anyway. You can go and get Turkish food. There’s halal food, there’s pizza too. So, McDonald’s, Burger King are great. Everywhere. You can eat whatever you want. So, there’s no problem. But if you say live, there’s a problem. Because you need to know Chinese. It’s hard to find a job. Because you’re here, people from Turkey, for example, I get a lot of messages. Rıfat or the younger ones say, “Brother, I want to come there.” Okay, what did you study? I’m a high school graduate. Not really. You don’t have a diploma, you don’t have a job. Not really. Let’s say a diploma isn’t that important anymore. You can get one. You can get one. It’s available in every way. But if you have a real diploma, my advice is to definitely add a Chinese one to it. Because when you arrive here, the moment you leave the airport, you’ll definitely speak a smattering of English, but if you’re doing business professionally, you’ll either go to school or learn Chinese. A girl I met in Uşak came to me. She ‘s enrolled in Chinese school. For every year she studies Chinese, she’ll stay a year longer. That’s how I calculated it. You can cover $10-15,000 a year, including school, food, and accommodation. So, let’s say $15 is $15,000. But it’s good money to learn Chinese. It takes two years, but you don’t need the first year. You don’t need two years . $15,000 for the first year, $15,000 for the second year. You pay $30,000 and study here for two years. You’ll learn Chinese. You even have a diploma from Turkey . It’s real. If you have a profession, you can pursue it here. But luckily, you may or may not find it. Do they speak Mandarin? Mandarin. Mandarin. They speak Mandarin. It’s traditional, meaning it’s the standard Chinese everyone speaks, but the writing is different. Would Taiwanese girls be interested in me if I walked around ? Let me say something like this. Don’t misunderstand the white Westerners who come to Taiwan; I’m not saying this to be racist. Westerners here have always been… 1. I’m like this to my wife. When I ask, I say, “What is it?” He says we have something against Westerners. I mean, we have this kind of liking. You know, how can a Far Eastern girl go to Turkey and be beautiful, her eyes slanted, and we find her agreeable? It’s the different ones that attract us. This is natural, I mean. Loving you too, you’re a very handsome, tall man with a coat. Whether the Vietnamese nightlife is like a king’s or a beastly flier. Where you’re going, Vietnam is the Amsterdam of the Far East. Yes, let’s go. It doesn’t matter. I mean, anywhere. Vietnam already has three or five places. First of all, the nightlife isn’t as degenerate as Thailand. It’s a very strict nightlife like here. For example, as I said, adult entertainment is illegal here , so you won’t find happy endings in massage parlors. Dude, Vietnam is the best holiday a young Turkish person can have. I bet Amsterdam or Vietnam? 100 times Vietnam. Of course. 100 times Vietnam. With its people, food, treatment, and atmosphere, it’s all Vietnam. When you come to the Far East, the people are nice, and there’s no such racism or nitpicking. You can have a comfortable holiday. It’s also very economical, though, as many people in Turkey are currently struggling with. Turkey is the most expensive in the world right now, but I’ll tell you, even Japan won’t seem expensive when you come from Turkey . 100% of the time, Japan is very cheap right now anyway. Yes. Yes, I ate unlimited vagü yesterday for 2,500 Taiwanese dollars, or about 3,300 lira . Hotpot, unlimited vagü, or Vagu, is Kobe Wagü A5. A kilo of it sells for 25-30,000 lira in Turkey. It also sells for 1,000 dollars in Europe, so what? Here in Japan, these things aren’t very difficult to come by. Especially with just a plane ticket, man. Young people are young these days when it comes to plane tickets. They’ll have to transfer. If they don’t, they won’t be able to find a flight for under 1,000 dollars . And you recommend Airbnb’s for accommodation . Exactly. But let’s go, for example, with a layover. A layover in Singapore or a layover in Thailand. Then the price is halved, of course. I stayed in a very central location. I do. I stayed in a nice hotel for $50, but on Fridays and Saturdays, it went up to $100. Yes. That’s right. They always say that about Taiwan. For example, when you come to Taiwan, don’t expect Thai prices . There’s no such luxury anyway. There’s no such thing. When you come to Taiwan, even if you hold a BM1, the average BNB is 50-60 US dollars on weekdays, as you said. On weekdays, the same place goes for $100. But if you have 150, I mean, you have the money. You can stay in very nice, clean hotels for $150-200 . I’ll also say this. We just talked about the nightlife. For example, the nightlife in Taiwan is something we went out at night. We went out with three guys, right? There’s no way they won’t take anyone without a partner. They take anyone. Everyone. They let in people of all ages, anyone over 18. There won’t be any fights. There’s quality entertainment. People are nice. Ask for directions. They won’t tell you the way. They’ll pick you up and take you there. That’s how good it is. Of course, at night, in the center, the area around Vanovan 101 is quite beautiful. As I said, the nightlife . I recommend it. People should come to Taiwan and pass through. I really liked it, it felt like Izmir to me , isn’t it nice? After China, it’s so laid-back and relaxed. It has a bit of an Izmir, Kadıköy vibe to it, after all. Of course, there are many more places. Of course, there are many more. I just arrived, I’m resting anyway, so I didn’t really push myself that hard, but I liked the people’s comfort and friendliness. The nature is beautiful, too. You can go up to the mountains; I haven’t been to any natural places. That tempgus is very beautiful. The east is beautiful. The east is very beautiful. It has beaches. There’s Temple Memple, there’s a giant wheat statue on that hill , you can go to Gavşong. Also, it’s very simple, very easy to get around here. You board the high-speed train from Taipei, Taiwan’s capital . It takes 90 minutes to reach Gavşon, the southernmost city, which is about 400 kilometers . It’s very simple. Well, I traveled all over China. China is a huge country, you know. But it was incredibly comfortable. Of course, the distance from Istanbul to Diyarbakır is 4 hours. High-speed trains are fast everywhere. train. Not everywhere is a high-speed train fast . I never knew about it in Turkey. I don’t know. I guess the speed in Turkey isn’t very fast. Not in Turkey, bro. It’s not fast in Turkey, bro. What’s this? It makes 350-400. Bro, I’ve traveled around China, bro. They all travel in China with something like 300. And China tried 600. It worked, 600 , 600 km, I mean I tried 600 km. Think about it, bro, I mean, these are 300-400 around here, I left Shenchen to Shiana, from the very north to the very south, from the Hong Kong border to the very north, then to Beijing. From there, go to Shanga. Already an 800 plane, bro. You know, the plane you mentioned 800, is 600 so incredible? Incredible. What else can you ask for, man? It’s an 800 plane, bro. I’ve seen 350-400, I mean you see it here too. In Taiwan, my guess is that what we see here is around 300 at most. 280-300. And anyway, if Taiwan did 600, you’d get there in 20 minutes. Exactly. Well, it comes out over the sea. Of course, of course. It’s very good here. There’s Green Island. There’s Ork Orchid Island. By the way, that Green Island is something. Well, it’s a volcanic prison, or something, we said the prison here is communist. Now, since this is the Republic of China, they take the communists and throw them there. You’ll definitely go in. I’ll leave. Yes. I want to go in. He came and came. God [ __ ] came. They brought our puff. Şeşe. Şeşe I went to that green island, but I looked on the map it was very far. It was south of the east. Of course. Şeşe. Şeşe. Şeşe. Yes, friends, if you ask what it really looks like, it looks like shit. It’s ice cream, but it tastes like any ice cream you’ve eaten . It has a very, very good taste. And this, well , is pudding. Pudding. I don’t like milk ice cream in Taiwan very much. Because, as you know, it smells of milk, man. It’s milky as hell. That’s why I don’t like very milk ice cream. As someone who doesn’t like milk. Oh, look, this ice cream tastes really good. This chocolate one makes me sick, too. Let’s see. Let’s see. Is it something? It should be with banana. That’s how I remember the last time I had it. Lots of chocolate. Cream. Vanilla chocolate. Vanilla chocolate. Good, but man. Hm. The food is following now. Three guys [ __ ] are eating. They’re sitting there. You know, my son, talking about our culture from a common bowl. We eat from a common bowl. We recommend them. Let them come. Now, the number of people coming to Taiwan has increased from Turkey, I mean YouTubers and so on. The number of flights to Turkey has increased a lot. It’s now two, now two flights a day. Fly to Turkey only in the morning and evening, right? It used to be one flight to Turkey, now it’s two a day. TH already has an office here. They’ve gradually invested in this place . Of course, what we want is for more Taiwanese to come to Turkey. I got married in May 2015, before I got married. A month before direct flights started. 2015. You got married in 2015 too. You got married in May 2015. Okay, when I arrived, your wedding was being broadcast on TV. Look at that. Dude, did they broadcast your wedding on TV? When people became famous, the press came, celebrities came. Wow, wow. That day, I said, I think I’m famous. All the journalists in Taiwan came. About 40 journalists, or so. What am I saying? I was the first to arrive. I said, “I’m famous, man.” That day, I said, I mean, I was the first to arrive. I said I’m Turkish. Everyone was showing Ripat at home and stuff like that. Back then, he was presenting something on TV. Look, let me give you a cue. This is a real man, he comes from Turkey, he says he knows me. My Chinese name is UFO. Now, when you say Rıfat, people don’t recognize me here. Well, he says, ” Rıfat is famous,” he says, “Turkish.” Anyway, he shows my photo in a restaurant somewhere. “Oh,” he says, “we know Ufong and all. They don’t charge him for food. He’s messaging me on Instagram. He said, ‘Brother, I came to Taiwan and ate, they didn’t charge me.’ He said, ‘You,’ when I told him I knew him, he said. Save this, look, what was his Chinese name? Do you know what my Chinese name is? The whole family is embarrassed by this. When I got married, I wanted to choose a Chinese name here. I have to choose anyway. Y Song is right. No, brother. I chose Li, brother. I chose Bruce Le’s name, brother. Look, let it be at the airport. It’s even mentioned everywhere. They laugh like hell. For example, think about it like this. I’ve seen that Chinese people come to Turkey from Taiwan and take names, names like Battal Gazi, names like Cüneyt Tark, okay? My name is Nisha. For example, they met me at the airport just now. The lady even wrote my Chinese name as a joke . The guy on the other end asks me, “Lan Sha Long.” Is that really my name?” He asks. There’s a Chinese-inspired section, right? Yes. L Shaonka is Bruce Lee, as you know. Well, if you’re Chinese, you get an English-American name when you go West. For example, Shaong de Brusli. For example, whoever I hang out with, I mean, I’ve been hanging out with girls. They’re all named Nancy. Of course, they choose Italian, Italian, and English names here. Taiwanese who learn Turkish also choose Turkish names . For example, yesterday I visited the parliamentarians who came here from Turkey with a kid from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Taiwan . The kid’s name is Hasan. I mean, the kid speaks Turkish. He also took a Turkish name. Well, Deniz is at the console. There’s Mrs. Deniz. I like her a lot from her old classmates. She’s a very helpful woman. In fact, the console here is Ms. Deniz, she’s Taiwanese. When we come here, we get names, they say, you have to get them during marriage registration. Now, I told the lady, “In Turkey, you take my last name. Here, I ‘ll take yours.” How are they going to write my Turkish last name here, brother? Yes. That’s why my lady’s last name is Lee. Now, when the last name is Lee, what comes to mind? Bruce Lee comes to mind immediately. For example, donations are made to temples here. They have names written down , etc. My name is a big deal. When we go to an official institution, people call their friends. Look, have you seen his name? It’s even funny. Okay. Now, you say Brust Brust. You see, a man with long hair looks like a Westerner. Now, that’s how you see a Westerner from a Taiwanese perspective. The guy’s name is Rusi. The guy laughs. Bro, did you find the name Le? I did. Bro , if the child had been a boy, I would have named him Brus. Oh, it was a boy, Brus. I was a boy, if the child had been a boy, I would have named him Brus, for sure. Bro, if you found the last name Le, I’ll stick it, Brus. When will I ever find the surname Le again, brother? I was CS. That’s Jetli, huh? But yes, there’s Jetli, but Jetli’s name is a little weirder. And they don’t like him here. They don’t like him. He’s pro-China, China, supported by China, Hong Kong, they don’t like him at all. There’s something. Jacke and he’s equally beastly. Yes. But he’s from Hong Kong, but he denies it. He introduces himself as Chinese. That’s why Hong Kongers and Taiwanese people don’t like Cheki. They don’t like Chekichen. Also, Jackie’s problem is family issues, etc. He left his daughter. I mean, they have that kind of thing. There’s the mistress thing, etc. I mean, Jackie Chen has a bit of a problem, but, bro. Can we say Jack Chen is a despicable man, bro? You might say his character is something else, but is Chekichen a man? But he also has a lot of fans, bro, he’s the most famous Chinese in the world. You saw his house in America. It’s very beautiful, but very rich, bro. I took a picture of him yesterday, bro. The guy, the guy, how many artists, actors, stars , singers does he know, Jackie Chen, who else is there with Jet? Jackie Chen, by the way, Jet, he became a monk , you know. He devoted himself to… E Jetli, he devoted himself to religion. He became a Buddhist or something. He left everything. Isn’t he dead? Isn’t this your son, huh? No, Brandon Le, Brandon Le, Jet Lee. This short guy, fighting again, is a kung fu guy, but a real kung fu guy. A real kung fu guy. He is a very rich Elif. There was a change like a model here too. Someone left. E [ __ ] what happened, brother? Your fucker became Turkish. He bought a Turkish diploma, brother. He became a Turkish citizen. We didn’t open it. Do you know what this is ? I know this. This thing, what happened in Iyalovda? Take this, weren’t they throwing your denizen in your pocket? Dursun, brother, dursun. Aren’t they throwing your denizen? Oak became very famous. They even bring thematic-sized ones to ports and such. Do you know what this is, man? A ship carrying toys from China or America, whatever, sinks. It sinks. Millions of these ducks, rubber ducks, are thrown into the ocean, and some of them… Chilean rocks wash ashore. Some wash up in California, some in Japan . And right now, the originals sell for tens of thousands of dollars. If you can find them, that is. The real thing, the real thing. Oh, and these are fakes, of course. If you find them walking on the beach, they sell for incredibly high prices. But tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of them have already been found, I mean. Well, people are unemployed, I mean. But it’s a good thing. Does it snow? Is it very cold? I’ve crossed the coldest mountains in Taiwan in the winter. It snows there, but normally in the city, the coldest I’ve seen in Taipei is 9 or 10 degrees. There’s nothing but air conditioning. The heat comes from the air conditioner. It doesn’t get that hot at all. Yes. It’s not cold. But if you climb up the mountain, the highest mountain in Taiwan is around 500 meters. 3000, 3800 meters, if I remember correctly . There’s snow there, but it’s not like that, like skiing . There’s no snow like that. I’m also curious about something. You know why there are those boxes on every street, on metal people? What are these, man? Transformers, man. Are these transformers? Transformers. This and that transformer. I always see them here and there, directly at the head of the stream, man. What am I saying? Transformers, look, there’s only one thing. What is it? I don’t know at all. We’re going that way. Look, you see phone cases like these everywhere. Heh. Pikachu cases. Exactly. There are hamburgers like this. Yes. Hamburgers. These are nice. Is this different then, how Mandarin is written and how Chinese is written? It’s different. It’s simplified writing in China. It’s easier to write shapes like this. The same simplified. Simplified here is real Chinese, I mean, what I call real Chinese is written in historical books. Now, simplified in China. We’re realists, son. Exactly, man. Look, for example, this is a temple exactly like this. See? It’s a very corner. Oh, for God’s sake. Pop-up temple. Exactly. Look, this is a little Hinduism here. No, not here. Ha, this thing, this thing, I know, I know. This is something about Buddhism . Actually, I already know that Buddhism reaches India. After it comes to China, it becomes Chinese . Yes. Everything that comes to China becomes Chinese. Yes. Of course. I mean, its origin is China, but if you pay attention, there’s a Chinese god down there too. For example, they call it milufo. The god of happiness. Is paraşık paraesi these keychains to get? Are you one of them ? Took a picture. And girls don’t let their pictures be taken, my friend. Give me a ten, and let’s try our luck. Now that I’m here, let’s make another keychain related to Chinese culture. Yes. You give this place. You throw this place away. After that, all of this is a bit of a trick anyway. When it comes up, it leaves. So you try to get it as close as possible . So don’t think about taking it or keeping it. See? You left it. Is it gone now? 10 left. 10 left. 10 left. 10 left. It’s always like that. Well, how many keys does it have ? But it throws it away a lot. What is this guy doing? He moves you inch by inch. No, what I don’t understand is that there has to be something cheaper than that. What’s cheaper than that? Oh, I mean, don’t worry about that, but it’s so hard to get. You’ll just have to try your luck. 15 liras, right? 10. Oh, he bought it, for goodness sake. God left it again. No, what you’re going to earn is cheaper anyway. Dig a lot, but it causes illness. Oh, it’s everywhere, too. You try it now, get close to it again. Continue from there. I mean, you ‘ve proven it somewhere, don’t go there. He’ll leave it anyway. You have 6 seconds left. You don’t have many. Get closer, get closer. Take it, man. Take it. I press. Go ahead and get it. God. It didn’t work, man. That’s it. But don’t spend the money. We never did, man, we got sick. Never mind. We came to Barış’s famous chicken ornament. Customers call it Uziper. They sell it, man. I’ve had this, do you know anywhere else? It’s weird. This is the most famous, but these are the edits that made it most famous. How much is it, for example? It’s huge. 75? 70, what? 100 lira. 100 lira. Yes. Is there a half kilo of chicken? There’s at least 300 grams, man. GP açay. While trying one. It’s a mess. Look Friends, I ate this. If you want, she makes it spicy too. She makes it amazing. And she’ll cook it until 12 tonight. It won’t stop. I mean, the line won’t end. The line is incredible. It stretches all the way to the back . They recognize you, look at that. Brother, everyone knows you, Rafan, brother, they know me, brother. But let one girl come. Hello Rıfat. My friends, brother, after marriage, families become more numerous. Brother, thank you very much. Thank you. I’m so glad. So, how will she go by metro now? I’ll drop you off at the metro. We’ll go together, so no problem. I’ll take an Uber. Uber? Hey, I’ll hail a taxi , friends. See you. [Applause]

Uğur Rıfat Karlova, Türkiye’den Uzak Doğu’ya uzanan ilham verici yolculuğuyla Tayvan’da tanınan ilk yabancı komedyenlerden biri olarak dikkat çekiyor. 1980 İzmit doğumlu Karlova, Ankara Üniversitesi Sinoloji Bölümü’ndeki eğitimini tamamladıktan sonra 2006’da aldığı Tayvan Eğitim Bakanlığı bursuyla adaya ayak bastı. Başlangıçta sadece dilini geliştirmeyi amaçlarken, kısa süre içinde Tayvan’ın televizyon ve sahne dünyasında büyük bir iz bıraktı.

Mandarin Çincesiyle yaptığı stand-up gösterileri, skeçleri ve kültürel gözlemleri sayesinde Tayvan’ın “Wu Feng” lakaplı sevilen yüzü haline geldi. Mizahı bir köprüye dönüştüren Karlova, Türk ve Tayvan kültürlerini samimi bir dille buluşturarak izleyicilere hem kahkaha hem de empati sundu.

Tayvan’ın Büyüleyici Kültürü

Tayvan; Çin kültürünü, Japon etkilerini ve yerli kabilelerin mirasını harmanlayan benzersiz bir ada ülkesi. Taipei’nin dinamik şehir yaşamı, gece pazarlarının coşkusu, Taroko Vadisi’nin doğa harikaları ve halkın sıcak, saygılı yapısı Tayvan’ı Uzak Doğu’nun en özel duraklarından biri yapıyor.
Misafirperverlik, tevazu ve toplumsal uyum kültürün merkezinde yer alıyor. Günlük hayatta tapınaklardan metro istasyonlarına uzanan düzen ve sakinlik, Tayvan’ın kendine has ruhunu oluşturuyor.

Karlova’nın Tayvan’a Katkısı

Uğur Rıfat Karlova, Tayvan’daki yaşamını sadece gözlemlemekle kalmayıp onu sahneye taşıyan bir kültür elçisi. Türk çayı ile Tayvan çayını kıyaslayan esprilerinden, iki kültürün yaşam alışkanlıklarını zarifçe harmanlayan gösterilerine kadar her detayıyla izleyicilere yeni bir perspektif kazandırıyor.
Onun başarısının ardında, Tayvan’ı “anlama” ve bu kültüre içtenlikle uyum sağlama yaklaşımı bulunuyor.

Tayvan’da Yaşamın Renkleri

Tütsü kokularıyla başlayan sabahlar, sokak yemekleriyle dolu öğle saatleri ve gece pazarlarının hareketli akşamları… Tayvan, gelenek ile modernliğin ritmini mükemmel şekilde birleştiriyor. Ada, yabancıları bile sıcaklığıyla içine çekerken düzeni, temizliği ve huzuruyla fark yaratıyor.
