Tayvan’da Yaşayan Türkler – Zengin Olmak İsteyen Buraya Gelsin 🇹🇼

Tayvan’da Yaşayan Türkler – Zengin Olmak İsteyen Buraya Gelsin 🇹🇼

[Music] Greetings everyone. It’s a humid evening in Taipei, Taiwan. Now Barış is coming. Barış is my Turkish friend, as you can tell by my name. He lives in Taiwan. He’s married to a Taiwanese woman . They have children. We’ll ask him the story. How did he come to Taiwan? Why Taiwan? He’ll tell you all about how life is here, but he needs to reach me first . Because there’s a lot of traffic today. It’s evening. Thanks, he said, “I’ll pick you up,” and he approached. Let’s guess which one is Barış’s car. The animal is a super shabby country. At least in this part. I think this Mercedes. It’s very Turkish. Let’s see if the other parts of Taiwan are like this? I really like it. It’s a bit like Izmir, Cihangir, a shabby atmosphere. Young people hang out in the middle. There’s a very free atmosphere, but much more so than I expected; there’s no blatant modernity like in China, Thailand, or Japan. I actually liked that. Everyone’s chilling out. Look, they never pick up things from the ground. These things fall from trees. The fruits just occurred to me, I think it’s that white Mercedes. Yes, we’re taking guesses. Hah, it’s here. I’m coming, I’m coming. We said that white Mercedes. It turned out to be a different white Mercedes. I swear, I guessed it, but my guess wasn’t right. Oh, it’s the same car. Look, look, look. Dude, this place is incredible, I was on a maze of roads. That’s why I took such a wrong turn. It’s written in Chinese. I don’t know Chinese anyway. Let me give you some interesting information right away. Those lights, man. Let’s turn them off so you can see them all over Taiwan, okay? On the main roads. That’s because they normally sell one thing there, something bitter like a hazelnut . Okay? Truckers and long-distance drivers buy these and put tobacco between their teeth or teeth, or Norwegians or water or something like that, bro, they put it in and they suck and suck and then they spit it out, okay, that’s the bitter thing, the real feature is that on the highways there are always women in low-cut miniskirts selling these lights. Yes, for example, go to the main road, bro, there’s one in some godforsaken place with a low- cut neckline and hairdo like that, I don’t know why, if it were in another country, they’d think it was something else . Yes, those women, by the way, are by no means prostitutes, but in some way I don’t know why, er, er, women sell them, er, clearly , it’s such a funny thing. Lots of locals buy them. You see those lights everywhere on the main roads. But now the ones in the city have become normal restaurants. You know, it doesn’t have that meaning anymore, but on city and intercity roads, I mean, when you get to the main road, in the countryside, etc., the same style still continues. Dude, these guys are very strange. I’ve never, ever been out on them until now, I just arrived in the evening. The roads are the problem here. You see it all the time, with five-story buildings and roads going in every direction. It’s like that in Tokyo, too . This is this system, man, if you don’t know, the signs are all in English and all in Chinese, for example, I was about 20 minutes late because I crossed a bridge twice . I didn’t understand. Also, they’re very close to each other. I don’t think Google Maps works perfectly. I mean, when it was closed in the air, I couldn’t figure out which one to enter . For example, it’s written in English right now. This is easy. Google Maps doesn’t work in China anyway. Dude, Google Maps doesn’t work very well here either. They have their own junk maps. Well, they’re all in Chinese, so I don’t understand. I deleted them when I came from China. I said enough, I said. You have maps, man, what are maps? What are they? Let me tell you something about this country. You see the houses around now, they look old, right? They look old. Each of those houses, that house, is worth about 5 million dollars, no matter how you look at it. Oh, I mean, for example, the youth are here right now , man, for example, these residences and so on. There’s a difference here, but rent is much cheaper than in Turkey. So, there’s no problem renting a house. Anyone can rent a house, but the government makes sure people can’t buy a second or third house. So, it prevents the house from turning into a marketing operation. House prices are incredibly expensive. A 6,070-square-meter house in the city center starts at around $2 million. But if you try to rent that house, you’ll pay around 50,000 lira. 1,500 lira, or 40,000 lira, 1,000 dollars, or even dollars. There’s no such thing as an exorbitant rent. So, people, for example, can rent. My governor-in-law has a house and keeps it vacant. If he rents it out, there’s no rental income. He says, “Why bother?” He uses a warehouse. I’m hanging out there too . Look, these guys make something out of around 30, these guys were living off hunger and poverty 30 years ago. Look, I’m not talking that far back, bro. There are a couple of these companies, TSMC. Uh-huh. There’s that. And on top of that, there’s Nvidia in America, by the way, even though the Taiwanese seem to be an American company, that’s the number one company in the world right now . Let me list them for you. Asus, Acer, Kimco Motorcycle, HTC are all Taiwanese, bro. Plus, while the motherboards for the first iPhones were Asus, they were making motherboards for all the iPhones around the world. These guys have built construction in 30 years . Well, you went and built the world’s largest airport. These guys, look, do you see a single thing? Do you see anything luxurious like a bridge or a bridge like this? You don’t. This guy built a factory. Men who were starving and suffering 30 years ago . Today, the minimum wage is twice ours. Well, maybe three times ours. Let me put it this way. When I married my wife in 2015, one Turkish lira was worth 11 Taiwan dollars. Today, one Turkish lira is worth about 6 Taiwan dollars. I mean, I can’t believe it’s increased more than the dollar. Because these guys are producing. They’re also making money against the dollar. For example, there’s no such thing in the country. There’s no sports. I mean, sit down with young people tonight, bro, what happened to this match, this referee, that’s all there is to it, because there’s no sports, bro, there’s politics, the elderly care about politics. If you had a group of young people, a group of friends, if you went out here today, I swear you wouldn’t talk about politics for a minute. Because there’s no such thing, bro. For fun, where should we go? For example, they’re all going to America, Japan . Just recently, today morning, we met with our friends from Taiwan . They went to Turkey. They toured Greece, and these guys are white-collar, normal working people. Oh, by the way, there’s something I’ll do right away. Taiwan isn’t recognized by Turkey. It’s a country. We have a trade office. It calls it a region within a trade zone. The US doesn’t recognize it either. For example, even though it’s Taiwan’s protector, the US doesn’t recognize it. Because China cuts off trade with countries that recognize Taiwan. It completely severs relations . Diplomatic relations. But the Taiwanese passport is one of the most powerful passports in the world . It’s valid for almost every country in the world. Now, America , I go to America. For example, we went to America for work the other day. Is there a Taiwanese passport? No. I have to live here. My wife and I go to America for work, and so do our children. I go with a company, and I mean, a Ford. The man takes the passports. My wife tells the children to go. Why did you come then? I say, “Here we are, working, they’re my wife, etc.” She says she has a Taiwanese passport. He interrogates me for an hour. ” That’s the passport, man.” Now, let me explain this politically. America, Japan, and Australia protect this place. Because after the Asian continent ends, there’s Japan between America and Japan. Below that, there’s Taiwan. Below that, there’s the Philippines and Australia. Now, if you open up to the ocean. It does. Now, their military exercises are all about a 48-hour defense. Because the American navy arrives here within 48 hours at the latest. And now, they’re always talking about Turkey, saying, “World War II starts when China strikes Taiwan.” That’s why. There’s a full American base here, and there are American missiles. China also has about eight nuclear missiles aimed at it. Now, they claim that a World War will start here because when China attacks here, it’s considered an indirect attack on America, Australia, and Japan . But let me put it this way: China is such a smart country that, in recent years, you’ve noticed, it doesn’t invade any country with weapons. It’s the same way I do; it’s entering with economics. China is using this place to test the embargo. For example, the embargoes America imposes on China are bringing Chinese goods to Taiwan. Look, it seems to be at loggerheads with Taiwan. Those with knives on the field, like those football players, are either going to get their wives when they leave. Do you understand? Now, these are knives on the right, bloody knives. But for example, people bring goods here. After keeping the goods in the front company for 6 months and one day, the goods are made in Taiwan . They’re hitting. From there, they’re attacking America. I mean, China would never, ever attack here. China is already using the fact that this place is recognized by the autonomous world. That’s why China doesn’t invade any country with weapons anymore . Economically, if it wants to, it’s just like that. I told this story in the first episode. The nationalist Chinese Shenkai Shek supporters who lost the Chinese Civil War fled here, and China became the People’s Republic of China, communist. They call it the Republic of China. They say, “We are the original Chinese.” They assimilate to the Chinese. The political battle is also about. Just as we have a conflict between the Islamic party and the secular party defending China. Here, there’s a rivalry between the party defending China and the party defending Taiwan’s freedom. After all, these guys are sugar, I mean, the guy whose mausoleum they built is the leader of the Chinese Nationalist Party. These, for example, at my house, the mother-in-law is Chinese, and the mother -in-law goes crazy. For example, they don’t call her Taiwanese, they say we speak Mandarin. For example, they don’t call her Chinese, they call her Lunar. I mean, what can I say? You know how they get mad when you call us Arabs or call Iranians Arabs ? But it’s not like that; it’s more because that Chinese Chinese went to communist China. Because it’s China, everything is free here. Everything is free here. Like China. You just came from China, everything is embargoed, so there’s no WhatsApp, no Twitter, you have your own app. TikTok won’t come out of there, man. There’s a lot of money there anyway. They use something called Alipay. Oh, and here they use VPay, or VChat’s app right now. In many places, if you go outside of the private TPay system, you can’t use a credit card or anything like that. So, you either have to pay through the app, DPay, or cash. In fact, we went to a place called Snake the other day. And here, they make the best Peking duck in the world. In my opinion, a white duck is the pinnacle of white meat, in my opinion, the best meat in the world is a Peking duck. It might be very expensive in Turkey , but it’s the standard price here. I went crazy, I couldn’t even use my credit card at McDonald’s. They require eVPay or a local card, but Typeay isn’t. These places, you know , I bought something here and paid for it. I thought, “What’s with all this change?” Since I haven’t seen any money in a month, my pockets are ringing. You’ve probably seen Sevin Lev everywhere. Like Thailand. Seven-el Taiwanese used to buy from Americans. That’s a Taiwanese brand. Oh, and that’s a Taiwanese brand now, anyway. Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Thailand, everywhere. Everywhere. Here, too, they’re everywhere, and they all do business, and most of them employ people. They employ students. But don’t think like Turkey. In Turkey, students work on the poverty line, while here, students can work at Semda and go to school at the same time . So, they earn enough income to at least support themselves as students. Well, this is where it’s at, like, there’s no theft in the country right now. For example, I went to a public park the other day. There’s a basketball court. I saw there were basketballs. I said, “No way, this has to be stolen.” I said, “We have to steal this,” and I said, “this can’t be here. ” Then the guy said, “Why isn’t comfort good ?” Why? Because the economy is high, man. For example, look, leave your helmet on the bike, leave your bag, go eat there, come back. It’s there, man. It’s the same in China too. It’s like China, but in China, they’re like, “China is in China,” they’re like, “China is in China.” In China, I’m taking the girl to… Just think of it as a Migros store right at the entrance to the gymnastics hallway . They’ve put a locker in front of it, with no doors. You put your shoes in your bag; it’s forbidden to enter with shoes on. I just bought new shoes the other day, and I’m here. I’m dropping the kid off,” he said. The guy said, ” You have to put it there, I said, because there’s a laptop in the bag.” I said, “Wouldn’t they steal it?” The guy looked at me and said, “Why would they steal your stuff?” I mean, the guy is right. The guy is right. The guy is pretty laid-back these days, from Dubai to China and Taiwan, it’s pretty relaxed in these matters, man. Well, because one person solved this, people, come. Look, brother, look, the difference from Turkey is this: They are not born gentlemen from their mother’s blood. They used to steal everything here 30 years ago. People were cutting each other off on the street. But they started issuing such fines that they started enforcing them. This culture gradually developed. Exactly. And when the economy improved in our country, we don’t have any fines anymore. Here, if you’re not a member of a certain segment, we have a fine. If you’re not committing a crime, the fine is definitely a crime. This TYPE 101 building, which was probably the tallest in the world when TP 101 was built, is it the 5th or 6th now? For example, everywhere here is a massage parlor. It’s open 24/7 . Go to the end of any message. If you accidentally say, “Here you go, sister, I ‘ll give you $50 more.” Tell me to give you a more intense massage. They’ll immediately post your pictures to nearby massage parlors and online. You’ll be embarrassed. No, prostitution is illegal here, bro. This is one of the few places in Asia that allows gay marriage . But patriarchy still exists. There’s a reaction to this among the elderly, especially their families. But for example, I’ve been coming here constantly for 10 years. I’ve never seen anything like that at the end of a massage. I’ve never seen anything like happy ending conversation . No brother. I went yesterday too, by the way, I’ve never seen anything at all. And I don’t see brothels or anything like that on the roads, but there are, for example, sex hotels. You know, the fantasy rooms you go to with your wife, that’s, I don’t know, Star Wars-themed rooms. I’m booking a Star Wars-themed room . It was like that in Japan too. There are sex hotels and such, but you don’t take me there right now, do you? I’m taking you there right now, but there’s no brothel like that around, I don’t know, or anywhere in the world. This one is definitely underground, I mean, it’s not legal, like, well, I don’t know, like Japan or Thailand, but Thailand is, I mean, oh, it’s a different world, man. Thailand, I went 3 months ago, 2 months ago, I went to Thailand for business, and I didn’t go to the city center either, what was it? Changmay, Changmay, I went there for work, man, even that place is this godforsaken place. Everywhere is like, happy endings. Happy endings. I don’t know, I shot that too. So what did you shoot, man? By the way, we’re traveling, but there’s no scenery. What a boring country, man. Here, er, I’m going to leave Taipei. For example, have you been to Hualien, man, in Hualien, you climb mountains. There are temples and such. Hualien, huge, I don’t know, 30-40 meter wheat statues, these monks on top of the mountain, you know, they ‘re so utterly devoted to worship. For example, my mother-in-law is also quite Buddhist. Masha’Allah accept, may Allah accept. But, bro, the thing in Buddhism, er, I mean, I still don’t know what it’s like for a person to be a Buddhist, the way they worship . I mean, other than going to a temple and burning incense, you know, I’ve become a Buddhist, I shouldn’t eat this, I shouldn’t do that, etc. I don’t know anything like that. I have a deep faith. There are also deep faith Buddhists. There are probably 50 or 100 different kinds of Buddhism. There’s definitely one among them. But I’ve never come across it here , man. This place is so rich. You go to Temples and burn money here, man. There’s counterfeit money. Heh, exactly. Exactly. Well, here I am, I mean, I’ve visited all the temples in Asia. Taiwan, Thailand, China, Japan, Indonesia. They all go to temples for luck and money, for example , or to get married or have children. Well, temples are always for profit, you go in anyway, bro, there’s different things, there’s this, what do you want, like ice cream eating Buddha, etc. I don’t know, if there are Buddhists, don’t be offended, but there’s a Buddha for everything, but what I like is this, nobody cares, you know, I’m Buddhist, everyone should be Buddhist, I don’t know, I don’t know, what am I, I don’t know, whatever . For example, Christianity and Islam are starting to increase a little here now. Mormons are opening churches here, I’ve been saying they’re constantly sending Zionists, etc. Yes. And a lot of Indonesians come here to work. For example, I’ve started seeing halal labels in supermarkets, like 7-Eleven . Because as the population grows, the Indonesian population When it increased a little, of course, they immediately moved to that marketing aspect. For example, even if it doesn’t say halal, it says something like this. For example, it says “contains pork” on many of the products. I didn’t see it before. I’ve been seeing it for the last couple of years. You’ll see it at the place we’re going tonight, too. There’s a church at the Night Market . These Mormons do this. They send these young people all over the world, they invite them. Become Christians, I don’t know what, but being Christian here is completely a popular culture thing. There are missionary activities. Yes. You know, any of the popular young people, I’ve been hanging out with friends here for over 10 years. I mean, I’ve never seen anyone involved in any religious activity. Oh, maybe at home , I’ll show you. My mother-in-law has a temple section that looks like an animal. I’ll show you that. China is 85% atheist. She doesn’t believe in any religion. It’s a communist country anyway, but the temples there are full. Why? It’s spent on taking Instagram photos or making wishes. Money, I mean, one more thing: money, man, money is burned the most. The government even has that money made from special paper so the smoke doesn’t pollute the air . And wait for a happy, lucky day. Actually, isn’t that the case with us too, man? Why are you praying? According to the old, old Chinese religion, I throw it away and buy a suit and burn it. It becomes his father’s suit. In the afterlife, there’s something like this on the Day of the Dead, for example, my father-in-law passed away. We weren’t married at the time. For example, on this Chinese New Year, a plate of food is prepared for the dead. It’s placed on him. It’s as if he’s going to come and eat it. I’m going to show you now, there’s a temple in our house. After that, I’ll go worship and he’s gone. That, er, there’s such a culture. Yes. But as I said, it’s like Christmas culture, for example, does Christmas, for example, have anything to do with Christianity anymore? I don’t think so. Here, during Chinese New Year, or even Lunar New Year, we have Ramadan and Eid al-Adha, according to the lunar calendar . These kinds of activities are carried out during New Year’s Eve. Burning money, giving food to the dead, taking the dead . Well, he said, “we,” but for example, they go to the cemetery on the eve of Eid al-Adha. Actually, it’s quite similar. Look, a temple, for example, is a very beautiful temple. Now, there are only about three or four people left who do those hand-carved carvings on that temple. Now, with 3D scanners and other advancements, and technology has increased, it’s also expensive, of course, handcrafted. Now, there are only two people left who do that wood carving . One of them is my mother-in-law’s brother. How much does the younger generation pray in Turkey? Or how many Christian young people in Europe? And their religion isn’t much of a religion, you know. They’re more traditional. Religion is more traditional than religious. Another interesting thing here is the culture is different from ours. For example, you go to a friend’s birthday and buy a gift for your friend. You might buy a bottle of whiskey . You might buy a sweater, a shirt. Anyway, they give money in red envelopes here. For example, my wife tried to give money to my mother on her birthday in Turkey. I said, “Hardly, are you crazy? ” It’s very rude in Turkey. Imagine giving your brother-in-law money for your birthday. You know, the cultural difference, man? That cultural difference exists. Let me also tell you something really interesting . These people have been here for 5,000 years. I’m going to talk about a food culture. Now, let’s say you’re in Turkey, whether you’re married or not. What happens to society’s perception of you when I say I don’t cook at home every day and eat out ? That’s the rich snob. Don’t you know how to cook? There’s a whole different story here. You’ll see it at the night market tonight. Everywhere is already catered to. Look, pay attention. Two out of every three shops cater to caterers. Let’s say you want to make a stew at home today. If you buy the ingredients for that stew, I’ll take it home and it’ll cost you 500 lira. It’s enough for four people. There’s an old lady over there, she’s 95 years old. She’s about to die. She’s been making stew there for 150 years, and she makes it better than you for half the price . Everyone takes food with them when they go somewhere. You know, when you go to a friend’s house, you pick up food and eat together. Eating out is like that, you’ll see it at night markets, too . A culture has formed. You know, you make rice and salad at home, basic meals, but eating out is a part of their lives. Everywhere is a restaurant anyway; two out of every three shops are cafes. Let me tell the Turks this: No one comes here and goes hungry. They have incredibly similar dishes to ours. Fried chicken, fried fish, rice, pasta, soup. For example, I had fried chicken the other day. I’ll get you a huge Starlı meal for $3. 75 lira, 100 lira with a Mich-Star. He even opens a stand. He’s even opened a branch in America. There’s street food at the stand, Michelin-starred. There’s a chicken stand that has been awarded a Mich-Star. Last year, it was $70. 70 Taiwanese dollars is about 110 lira this year. Something like that. I’ll get you a meal tonight. The prices are very reasonable, too. Very reasonable. Yes. Hey, chef, we’re going to buy this many crab legs at the night market right now, for example, for, I don’t know, 70, 80, 100 lira, or 250 lira. For example, there’s something called beef noodle soup. It’s a Taiwanese specialty. What is it? Think of beef stew cooked for a long time. It has thin noodles in it. So, it’s actually a soup with some vegetables on top. It’s a delicious dish. Dude, go check out the most famous one here. The most famous one. Okay? The maximum you’ll pay is about 250 dollars. That’s about 350 lira. Look, I swear to you. Go to the most famous one here. Taiwan’s currency is dollars, by the way. Taiwanese dollars. NTD is called New Taiwanese Issyk-Thailand right now. The exchange rate is like 1.4, 1.5 lira per Taiwan dollar. I multiply it by 1.5 directly. So, as I said, in 2010, 1 lira was 11 Taiwanese dollars, while today, 1 Taiwanese dollar is 1.5 Turkish lira. For example, 100 Taiwan dollars here is actually 10 Lira here, but you can fill your stomach with 100 Taiwan dollars . Yes. I ate incredible chicken. It was very, very cheap. I’ll show you at the night market tonight , man. Look, you see the poor, but you don’t see a single person living on the street, a single person hungry, or a single person begging. Absolutely not. Absolutely. It used to be like that, too, man. Turkey used to be a poor country. Fatih and I are close in age anyway. But I don’t remember ever having so much hunger in Turkey . Look, we were always poor. Cars were expensive, computers were expensive, electronics were expensive. In fact, people show people in Turkish movies about price hikes and things like that, and the town debts. But what is it? Everyone always owes a town debt, so they can buy meat. You understand? They butcher it at the beginning of the month. We’ve never seen hunger, poverty. See hunger. When I was a kid, I came from a poor country. I mean, cherries. I used to eat them by the kilo. Not at all, man . Now, the rich don’t eat them, man. I don’t like hazelnuts. You remember when we were little, there was a surplus of hazelnuts in Turkey. Everyone would give away hazelnuts. They’d call them “radiated hazelnuts” or “naganigi” and so on. And that’s why I don’t like hazelnuts. Because there are so many hazelnuts. I don’t like tangerines very much because, well, look, we didn’t have bananas in our house either . Those were a luxury. Yes. But tangerines, look, my father was our superior back then, as I wrote last time. When I was born, my father had just graduated from university. A poor man. I remember loving tangerines back then. Look, I loved tangerines . I don’t know how much they weigh today. How much tangerines , cherries, they weren’t expensive when we were kids. Cherry, cherries were in season, I don’t know, we used to pick mulberries in the Aegean. You know, we used to pick mulberries in Marmaris, Muğla, Yaylak, etc. In Bursa, and after that, we used to pick plums right off the tree, bro. Now plums are expensive too. Plums weren’t expensive either. When I was a kid, we’d pick plums right off the trees ; there wasn’t such a plum craving as there is today. I craved plums. It was a bit late, but we could afford them. Of course, when I was little, you and I were older than me. When I was little, fruit was expensive, man. Kiwis and bananas were new back then. Bananas were expensive. Because there wasn’t any banana production in Turkey back then. Kiwis, bananas, pineapples, and other tropical fruits were expensive. Go to the poorest house, oranges, tangerines, apples, and so on. They’re bound to have apples. Now, this is the B2 District. This is the area where Rıfat lives, brother. What can I say about this place? The area where you live. It was the Kadıköy of this place. That place of Manova is the engagement stone of this place. Go there. This place, bro, think of it as the Kandilli of this place. I mean, it’s the rich neighborhood. The rich neighborhood. How much do the rents cost, for example? Bro, I don’t know the rent. It’s generally dirty, for example, our cousin just bought it here, my wife’s cousin. I ‘m taking the cousin for myself. Well, my wife’s cousin bought a new house, about 80 square meters, bro, for 1.5 million dollars. Okay, but what if we rent it? If you rent it, bro, it won’t bring in more than 0.00 dollars in rent. There’s no such thing as rental income in this country, bro . I mean, the government is doing something. Yes. Now young people are rebelling. We can’t buy houses. Rightfully so, because we live with our families. But the government also says, bro, you can’t go and buy four houses from one apartment building and rent them out. They say. Because the rent is very low. There is a limit on the rent. For example, if a real estate agent walks by here in the evening, you look in the window. The price of the house is 3 million dollars. The rent for the house is $0.00. By the way, these are incredibly old houses, man. The outsides are always like that. The outsides are always like that. Because they’re very hot and humid, they tile them, man. I mean, when you compare China to China, I mean, let me tell you, it’s very interesting. Someone who doesn’t know, someone who doesn’t know statistics, or someone who doesn’t know the countries, if they came here from China, they’d think China is 10 times richer here. Okay. I’m talking in terms of national income per capita. Because the population here is 22 million. China’s is almost 1.5 billion. But this place is many times richer than China, friends. Look at the national income per capita . Do you see a Porsche downstairs? Oh yeah. I mean, there’s a Porsche downstairs. Let me tell you a very interesting detail. You’ve always cleaned the roads. It rains and winds all the time here, but you can’t see a single dirty car, man. Oh. Why is that, man ? They’re constantly cleaning everywhere, man. Constantly. It’s the same in Thailand too. They love cleaning. The cars are like sparkling glass. Now we’re here, we’re going to go into our house. She saw a family in Taiwan . Look, they built these houses in the English style. Exactly. This is our house. Oh, this house is very strange too. I have a brother-in-law, brother. Back in the day, women weren’t allowed to go to school, but she tried to leave such a terrible family, you know, while she was beaten for not going to school, she forced the teachers to go, and my mother-in-law became a very famous boss. I mean, she was an award-winning businesswoman in Taiwan back in the day. She opened a factory in China. Well done , she’s that kind of woman. Here, too, she bought two houses and combined them. You’ll understand when you enter like this. There are 6 floors, but are they all thick, mother-in-law? No, not all. You’ll understand when you enter two such houses, brother. Is she a different kind of single, brother? My mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is a widow now. As they say, you can’t choose your mother and father. You choose your mother-in-law. My mother-in-law, my dear. How old is she, brother? Hüseyin , 75 or 76. He’s young. This is my brother-in-law’s car. Come on, brother. Yes, there are two here. Brother, there are two, brother. One for Donald Trump, one here. We’re weak. Oh, I’m not kidding. What is this, son? When Donald Trump comes to Taiwan, his brother’s friend has the big skateboard made for him, Proluk, look, one of them has presses on it, Trump, and the other one is here. Holy shit. This is our Temple brother, brother. Alleluia. This is our Temple brother. You’re standing here, brother. They’re burning tusks and such. Oh, these rocks, Mash’ah. This is your brother-in-law, who guaranteed my big heaven . This is my big daughter. What’s her name? Yağmur, Yağmur, your eyes are so beautiful. Deniz, come on, girl, look, this is my big daughter, Deniz. What are you doing, girl? Hello. Talk. Will you talk? Do you speak Chinese? Not B. Hello, my name is Deniz, a Chinese woman. This girl, say something in Chinese. Come on, will you talk, man? Well done, bravo. This is what I’m looking for, hit me right here, this is what we’re looking for. The brother we’re looking for, come sit down. This is the study section, brother. Maşallah. They manage this family business from here. Huh. Do you live in Turkey right now? I live in Turkey right now, but I’m usually here. Well, I work from here in Turkey. What’s your name? Noemi Aksen. Aksen. Noemi. Ak this Yağmur Aksen. Yağmur. Hello. Yağmur. It’s like something out of a Miyazaki movie. Like an emoji. It’s not real, I mean. Well, welcome to Taiwan. We find it welcome. You’re going to Turkey in Turkish , lots of it. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. How? Do you like Turkey? I love it. Which part do you like the most? Istanbul. Kadıköy. Göztepe. Yes. Göztepe. Does his leftist friend? Kadıköy. Yes. Kadıköy. Kadıköy. By Kadıköy, he means Bağda Street or something like that, Kadıköy. Yes. I love Bağda. He lives in Bağçade. If he’s a communist, let’s get the Taiwan thing. The Taiwan thing. Are you Taiwanese or did your family come from China? I’m Taiwanese. You’re Taiwanese. I’m Taiwanese. I’m Taiwanese. 100%. 100%. From where? Taiwan. Taipei. Here. Oh, here. You’re from Taipei. Have you learned to speak? Mr. ABCD, sing a song. ABCD, come on. Can you give me that? I’ll carry a few mushy things like that as a keychain like this. He’s so beautiful. He’s so well-behaved, man. So smart. So well-behaved. Do you like Turkey or Taiwan more? That’s very difficult. It’s difficult, it’s very different. Taiwan has always been my home, but, well, my new home, well, Turkey is the same. Yes. Yes. But Turkey is beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Of course, beautiful. I loved Taiwan too. It’s very nice . There’s not that modernism craze in Asia. For example, not everywhere in China, Japan, or Thailand is sparkling. I liked it like Izmir. Like Kadıköy , like Izmir. Yes. Yes. Taiwan is very free, everything . Yes . It’s nice. Well, it’s nice. Did you do this? Did Donald Trump do it? His brother for Donald Trump. Is this brother listed here? I don’t know anything. The owner of this, … Someone’s taking himself to the White House. Someone’s staying here. These people are staying because they don’t drink pro drugs. I mean, our Trump brother is one of them. Trump brother, Trump uses this place, that place, you know, protection sometimes. Of course. See you. Take care. I’m very pleased. Your Turkish is very good too. Thank you Yağmur, my love. Bye bye bye. You’re so beautiful. Okay. Oh, I’ll eat you. I will. Oh, so beautiful. Maşallah. See you next time. Thank you for everything. Next time, maybe we will record your life story. Children’s things probably don’t have these. These are their jobs, brother. Mother- in-laws produce these kind of tiny toys. These are samplers, brother. They will go to customers. Very nice. There’s the Christmas sales fortune teller talks in these countries. After living in Colombia, I say CC for everything in Turkey. Of course. You went to language school in Colombia, didn’t you? Oh, yes. Years ago, you were the first to start something. I remember your tweet. You had a hat like this Russian hat . Brother, I left home thinking it was a grocery store. I found myself in your mind. And Nicaragua, and living conditions were dangerous. Well, I remember you were going to language school back then. You rented a house or something . You know, my lineage is from Muğla. Marmaris, Bodrum, mixed. I already knew you were from Marmaris. We’ve been following each other ever since , we’ve known each other. Yes. 100 of you, you only had 2,000, 3,000 followers back then. Because you know a mutual friend of mine. I think I saw you through his retreat. I don’t remember from back then. Even your profile picture was with a hat like a Russian hat. After that, bro, what distinguishes you from other YouTubers or social content creators is me, I mean, I’ve never seen anyone in my life, bro, all your income is from Daru Şafak, and also, this is an institution, you know, it’s an institution that’s not open to discussion anyway , I mean, it’s a group that’s completely closed to discussion. Imagine what they’d say about me if there wasn’t such an institution. Leave that aside, what will become of this lighthouse? Dude, the lifestyle I like the most here is this. There’s no sports brawling. One guy is grabbing each other’s throats. What the hell was going on with yesterday’s match? But you love talking sports. Look, everyone who’s met me live knows I ‘m not a guy who talks a word about football outside of social media. I hate it. You should be sitting at a cafe instead. I don’t like that kind of talk, man. Because I know the reason for my social media life, my friends. That’s why Fenerbahçe fans don’t like it. I’ve been like this for years. It’s because you didn’t win the championship. Look, I’ve been like this for years now. Because my social media life and my real life aren’t the same. I mean, I know a lot of people on social media, but the number of people I’ve met and talked to live is only five. Everyone’s like that, man. You drink in Taiwan anyway. Everyone’s like that, man. I think everyone’s social media life and their real life are different. My opinion is, with exceptions. But you’re a content creator. But you’re a guy who records every moment. So, yes, there’s that too. Content creators like you, I don’t know, you’ve made a lot of documentaries, especially in South America, with these mafias, and Brazil, you know, you’ve gotten into things like that. I mean, why hasn’t it caught on this much now ? I’m still surprised by that. It needs millions of views. We’re getting so much spam. Are they considered spam, man? Well, there’s this, especially PKK members, and so on, they have very systematic things. There have been major attacks on other issues. So, for example, it’s coming in. Now, I won’t give them tactics, but they say don’t recommend the channel. They say don’t do this, “Don’t do that.” They have all sorts of techniques to silence you. This isn’t just about the PKK; it’s about many things. Since we’re burying everyone on Twitter, I’m trying to find this and that. Our football player, I was supposed to meet him last year. In fact, you were supposed to come to Taiwan last year. Yes. I talked about you, man, Fatih Kopran is coming. You know, he makes good content. Because his life story is completely different. I mean, we couldn’t get Fernebçe, for example. Brother, that, I said, this is social media, bro, a guy goes and makes a sentence, bro, there’s a whole girl, you know, she did it, you know, she says htua girl, you know, she shot 10 sheep in an instant, you know ? Those 10 million followers are helping the entire world. By the way, my YouTube channel is very popular for travelers. It’s the most viewed, but it needs a lot more views. You know, you’re a follower, and then there’s yours: all the income goes to the poor. For example, I throw in a kid who says he’ll pick up trash. Okay? He picked up 20 trash. 600,000 people followed him in one day. So, for example, we donated millions of lira. For that donation, I mean, the number of people who see the donation and follow me won’t exceed 20,000. Okay. I’m sending a message to Onur Doğan for you right now. Okay. Super YouTuber Fatih. I’m calling you a YouTuber. He ‘s so cheap. It’s at 117,625 right now. I guess that’s why he’s watching so much . Dude, I don’t know. Bitcoin is watching. Look at the green light, he’s watching right now. It’s rising, man. He’s following Bitcoin live in real time . You might have a look at it by the way. Maybe this taxi driver has 100 Bitcoins? Maybe. No way. Bitcoin is $50,000,000 each, right? 100,000,117,000. Look, that’s what it says there. 117 Taiwanese dollars, no, American dollars, of course it says USD. I don’t know, knowing their conversations, when I get into something like that, it’s definitely going up, they say, get in . This guy is Satoshi. He’s a Satoshi. Can you imagine? I’m the one who mined Bitcoin. I usually get the guy who gets in and loses money because people make money. Look, you see a queue in the corner like an animal. That’s the famous stand I’m talking about. That Michelin-starred chicken. We’ll buy it, but right now, it’s rushed, let people eat it, then we’ll buy it. Now, tell me what living in Taiwan is like, man. Do you recommend it to all kinds of children in Taiwan? Look, I’m in Taiwan for all kinds of retirement. I mean, all kinds of cars are great, by the way, all kinds of retirements are here. This place is free and comfortable, so I think this is what I tell everyone. The rich version of 80s Turkey , bro. Yes. Look, the moneyed version of 80s Turkey, bro. I felt that. It’s like the 90s, 80s—I mean, Turkey in the 80s was free but poor. I mean, it wasn’t as poor as it is today, of course, but I mean, we weren’t a European country. We didn’t have that vastness. This is still Turkey, bro, where everyone went to their elders for holidays, preserved old traditions, but the income was much higher, I could say it was a rich 80s Turkey. I’ll live here. I ‘m definitely retired here, too. Well, the people are warm, bro, they’re very warm. And they’re also very warm to foreigners. But as I said, that’s because they don’t have so many immigration problems these days . Foreigners are incredibly polite and respectful. Everyone respects each other. I didn’t see any fighting here. One day, I got really angry. We’re on a street like this. Bars are everywhere. I said, dude, aren’t there any fighting in this country, bro? So, I went to Twitter, searched for hashtags, searched for regional fights, and found one fight in the news. And it was Americans fighting among themselves. So, no, nothing. No fighting, no fighting. Nothing. Well , nobody cares. The education is very good. For example, those who graduate directly from here can go straight to universities in America, Europe, Canada. Well, they’re very comfortable in that respect. There were many who spoke English. For example, unlike China, almost everyone here knows English, man. Because this is America, let’s not say it’s an American colony, but it’s a country that existed with America. The American border crossing is here, anyway. For example, when you fly to America, you go through American customs in Taiwan. You pay $20 a year, man. Annual fee. You go through customs here and fly domestically in America. Like in Canada and between the Americas. We don’t have visas for Taiwan. Look at Taiwan. My wife, do you know where in the world they get visas for Taiwan? I don’t know, Leon, about these ridiculous countries . Yes. Small countries in South America and small countries in Africa have them. That’s because they’re under Chinese pressure. China says you won’t recognize it, you’ll need a visa, etc., but major countries like the US, Australia, Canada, and the European Union don’t have visas anyway. Where else are you going to go? I mean, we’re free to the European Union, they’re all free. There’s no problem. Let me give you an example. Currently, the number of countries that recognize Taiwan is 11, plus the Vatican. So, the Vatican is not a member of the United Nations. The entity actually recognizes 11 countries. These are generally, like, countries in the Oceania region . Taiwan pays for it and promotes it, but when these countries have a problem with China, they withdraw their recognition. For example, 10 years ago, it recognized 22 countries. Here’s the thing: Turkey, for example, recognizes this place as a free trade zone . The Taiwanese consulate in Ankara is called the Taiwan Trade Office. It’s not the Taiwanese consulate. Every country recognizes this place. It has all the world’s brands, but only on paper. For example, when you go to the consulate here and get a document, it says it’s the Turkish Trade Office. The document comes from Singapore. And then there’s the factual recognition. And we don’t recognize it legally, but we do recognize it de facto. So, the house is a free zone. For example, when I have trouble with the consulate here, there’s no Taiwan stamp on the papers. There’s a Singapore consulate stamp. Because if there’s a Taiwan stamp, it’s invalid. We don’t recognize it anyway. We’re a free zone. Trade, trade office. The reason is this. China says it’s the People’s Republic of China. If you recognize Taiwan, your diplomatic and commercial relations with me will end. Even in the diorama, it’s one thing. China. For example, Trump went to China. He said Taiwan. Well, he said Taiwan, and all hell broke loose. It’s like coming to Turkey and saying, “I don’t know, the Turkish Republic of Cyprus,” and going to Greece and saying “Turkish Republic of Cyprus.” You get it? If you go to Greece and say “Turkish Republic of Cyprus,” the Greeks will revolt. For example, when Trukoyas used to buy tickets, they used to say “Chinese Type.” Now it says Taiwan. Taiwan of China. Well, no, Taiwan is now. But as I said, one day, China will see this. A Chinese website will see it. They will object to it. They immediately go back to that. It turns into Chinese TP. Uh huh. Or Republic of China. No. Oh, this is Republic of China. China is People’s Republic of China. Uh huh. China is communist China. So, China is the People’s Republic This is the Republic. And everything is free here. There are no restrictions here. Twitter, Instagram, everything is servlet. I already explained it in great detail in the previous episode. Explain it historically, but those who are curious can come and watch. And the cheapest Apple in the world is here , friends. If you’re going to buy an Apple, yes. It’s even cheaper than America. Because the people who make Apple are Taiwanese. The owner of Apple’s factories in China is Taiwanese. Wow. That’s why the guy laughs. Look, he says we have the cheapest Apple right now. He says we have the cheapest Apple. You can buy it here, but now that registration has reached 506,000,000, it’s pointless. What are you doing to avoid registering? When you come to Turkey like me, you stay for a week and then escape. You have a time limit for that, right? 4 or 5 months? I came three months ago, and the last time it was about three months. That’s a very short stay. You also got an entry visa here, didn’t you? They issued you an entry visa. Yes. I didn’t pay, though. No. Free. If there’s a picture, it’s free. Oh, he got paid for the picture. He got a 100 L. Dollar. Whatever, brother. Oh, Rıfat’s here. Greetings, Rıfat’s here , brother. Greetings, Barış. Hello. Hello . We were already working. Greetings, brother. Hi. What’s up? You look like something, huh? You swear, you look radiant. Brother, this is actually the bearded version of him. Normally, I’d look even more paid. But I’ll say something. You’re pretty tall. I wasn’t expecting this much, huh. No, he was big. I wasn’t expecting this much. He was saying. He was big. There’s the animality. Now, we’ll do two episodes. Then we’ll close the episode with Barış. Yes. Rıfat’s partner, Tayman’s ta, etc. Rıfat Diş. Tayman’s headman. Headman. Mayor Tay Bey. Brother, look, let me tell you. You first got married in 2015. You came here. I say I’m Turkish. Do you know Rufat right away? And they use your Chinese name. I say who is he? They show his picture. Ufon. Ufong. Ufong. Yes.

Çin hakkında merak ettiklerinizi 21 uzun videoyla listeledim:

💼 Tayvan Ekonomisi: Küçük Ada, Büyük Güç

Asya haritasına baktığında Tayvan sadece küçücük bir kara parçası gibi görünür. Ama o küçücük ada, dünyanın teknoloji damarlarından birine dönüşmüş durumda.
Bir Tayvanlı’nın elinde tuttuğu mikroçip, bugün bir Amerikalı askerin zırhında, bir Alman otomobilinin beyninde, bir Türk cep telefonunun içinde.
Tayvan sessizdir ama modern dünyanın nabzını atan makinelerin arkasında onun imzası vardır.

⸻

🏭 Sanayi Mucizesi: Pirinçten Çipe

Tayvan’ın 1950’lerdeki hali fakir bir tarım toplumuydu. Pirinç, muz ve tekstil satıyordu. Ama 1970’lerde hükümet “bilgi devrimine” hazırlanmak için bir karar aldı:

“Toprağımız az, insanımız çok; o zaman bilgi bizim hammaddemiz olacak.”

Devlet mühendislik eğitimine inanılmaz yatırım yaptı.
Bilim parkları kuruldu, gençler ABD’ye gönderildi, geri dönenler kendi şirketlerini kurdu.
Bu dönüşüm, 1980’lerde “Asya Kaplanları” denen ekonomik mucizeler arasında Tayvan’ı özel bir yere taşıdı.

⸻

💡 Silikon Kalkan: TSMC ve Çip İmparatorluğu

Bugün Tayvan’ın kalbi, TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) adıyla atıyor.
Dünya üzerindeki en gelişmiş mikroçiplerin %60’tan fazlası bu şirketin fabrikalarından çıkıyor.
Apple’ın iPhone’undan Tesla’nın otomobillerine, askeri uydulardan yapay zekâ sunucularına kadar, hepsi Tayvan’ın teknolojik elinden geçiyor.

Bu yüzden Tayvan sadece bir ülke değil — küresel ekonominin beyni haline geldi.
Çin’in Tayvan üzerindeki politik baskısının arkasında da bu stratejik gerçek yatıyor:

“Dünyanın çip üretimini kontrol eden, geleceğin dijital savaşını da kazanır.”

⸻

📦 İhracat Gücü ve Çeşitlilik

Tayvan ekonomisinin %70’inden fazlası ihracata dayanıyor.
Başlıca ihracat ürünleri:
• Yarı iletkenler
• Elektronik bileşenler
• Makine ekipmanları
• Plastik ve kimyasal ürünler

Ana ticaret ortaklarıysa Çin, ABD, Japonya, Güney Kore ve Avrupa Birliği.

Ama Tayvan sadece teknolojiyle değil, deniz taşımacılığı, finans ve yeşil enerji sektörleriyle de büyüyor.

⸻

📊 Sayılarla Tayvan (2025’e Yaklaşırken)
• GSYİH (nominal): Yaklaşık 900 milyar dolar
• Kişi başı gelir: 38.000 dolar civarı
• İşsizlik: %3’ün altında
• Döviz rezervi: Dünyanın ilk 5’i içinde

Bu göstergeler, Tayvan’ın istikrarlı ve yüksek verimli bir ekonomiye sahip olduğunu kanıtlıyor.

⸻

🧠 Kültürel Yakıt: Çalışkanlık, Disiplin ve Eğitim

Tayvan’ın başarısının ardında “sürekli öğrenme” kültürü yatıyor.
Çocuklar küçük yaşta STEM (bilim, teknoloji, mühendislik, matematik) eğitimi alıyor.
Şirketler Ar-Ge’ye bütçe ayırmadığında toplumdan baskı görüyor.
Burada zenginlik “lüksle” değil, üretmekle ölçülüyor.

⸻

🌏 Sessiz Bir Süper Güç

Tayvan, dünyaya meydan okumuyor; o, dünyayı çalıştıran dişlilerden biri olmayı seçti.
Ne petrolü var, ne devasa ordusu…
Ama bilgiye, disipline ve mühendisliğe inanarak küresel sistemin bel kemiğine dönüştü.

Belki Tayvan hakkında çok az haber duyarsın,
ama cebindeki telefonun, bilgisayarının, hatta uyduların kalbinde
Tayvan’ın sessiz bir zekâsı vardır
