I wish you and your family a wonderful good day. I hope you're all doing very well. Greetings, it's your Markus from Alanja again and you've seen Cooki has cooled off a little. I'm back here at my orange plantation, but the sun is up It's already relatively low now and so I don't have to hide in the shadows. The temperatures look pretty good now, but what I would like to talk about here in this video are two points: changing money in Turkey, which I have now had a new experience, a new positive experience I'll go into that in a moment and also a real rip-off story regarding private schools, so really intense and I'll go into that in a moment. But I would like to briefly introduce myself again for those who are new to this channel. Welcome, we've been there for over three and a half Years ago we emigrated from Germany to South America in Paraguay and after a few months we left or after 5 months we left South America Paraguay because we just didn't like it and when it was winter back then it was sunny summer in Alania in Antalia in Turkey pure and accordingly we flew from winter to summer and it was a really great time, the most intense time in my opinion for me personally and we then decided to do everything we could to be able to stay in Turkey and that was it Back then it wasn't an issue at all, it was super easy to get a stay without big costs and other things and then after Alania we went to the private school for the Waldorf school, which no longer exists today and a lot has changed over time, including our own Life situation has changed, the children have matured and grown up and accordingly the journey will continue a bit in this case, yes and that doesn't mean again in advance to all the old hands that we are now selling everything here and running away. No, of course not, that's the case Of course, we sold our car this week, so the story about the exchange rate, exchange fees, etc., but that doesn't mean that we're leaving Turkey forever, no, but it also doesn't mean that we're staying in Turkey forever. No, emigrating means that for me Of course, classically speaking, you leave a country and stay in the new country there, but I think especially in this day and age you have to be flexible. You don't know in Germany when we're there for a few weeks and months what's going to happen there, it can be that an absolute A catastrophe is that one child says that the other child wants to stay here and you definitely have to make arrangements accordingly. That is very, very important and you have to go into communication and accordingly you can also press the aboutton here and activate the bell so that you can Just don't miss any more videos and stay tuned here, okay, that's very brief, then now the story about our exchange rate. We had the money from the sale from the buyer, so to speak, from our Hyundai Tuxon into our bank account, which was Tele, Turkish Liere and this one I would have the amount and that's awesome. I would have just had it at the siadbank, so that's like I would say Sparkasse, a state bank in which case there is something like that in different cities and there is even a serart branch in Hamburg. I would have changed it through the bank Euro because what do I want in Germany what do I want internationally with Turkish Lira in that case I would have exchanged it through the bank I would have almost and that's crazy just the bank alone almost made a loss of €1000 which means the converted rate on the internet would be € 43000 At the bank there was only about 42,000 € left, so it was really really amazing and fortunately in this case we have of course built up good contacts here and then went to an exchange office and of course such exchange offices always make money from the exchange that happens. This is how they earn money Yes, they have the right to be there with their money and can therefore secure their livelihood, it's completely fine, but of course We compared here again and I was really surprised even though I didn't go to the one that I knew and they gave me a really good price, yes I didn't do that because we had a better course with ours but there I was really surprised, so hats off to you, respect, not bad at all, so that means if you have Tele then you can buy back euros because theoretically speaking, you have to give more Tele so that you get 1 €, yes if that Exchange rate 1 € is 37 5 currently yes then you probably have to give it 38.3 TLE at the bank for 1 € yes and then there is a huge amount of loss in value and accordingly I cannot recommend that anyone go through a bank Because of course a bank also makes money from something like that, but to be honest, I personally don't want to miss that because having 1000 € is having 1000 € and accordingly we solved it very well, so that was case number 1 then I definitely have to tell you tell this story, unfortunately that is always the case, at least I have the feeling and over the last few months I have been posting at least one video a day for many months now or for many weeks in any case and many German Turks and many other people In Turkey, whether it was Alania Antalia or anywhere else, but especially in these regions where there are a lot of tourists, it's not just me that has the feeling, but also many other people and they wrote it in the comments how that feeling is, I always have that feeling to be ripped off somehow and to be honest this feeling is always there somehow. I used to say, hey, the state in Germany is officially ripping you off with all the taxes and all the duties and blibla blub but the people don't and that got me back then It bothers me that the state does things the way it is , but what actually bothers me more now in retrospect is that people even distance themselves from each other and I think that's really crazy. I think that's really cheeky and that's why this feeling always floats with you and accompanies you Apparently you're always welcome to write down what your experience is, whether you have that feeling too, I don't know, so for me it's always somehow like that, for example, car wash, car wash 500 Tele, one of them says yes, but here I only pay 300 all the time, so of course It's also because of the car, is it a big car, a small car etc but or even a hairdresser it's exactly the same my haircut costs 400 500 and for the other one it's only 250 tele or just 300 t yes accordingly you just have to look yes that's easy As a foreigner here, the German government is also very blatant and the story now in relation to private schools just goes one step further and just makes everything clear to me. For me personally, a Turkish private school is simply no longer an option, even if I have enough money If I were to hang loose, I wouldn't want to support that because no, I just don't want to let myself be ripped off so blatantly anymore and that's why I'll tell you very briefly this story about our German-Turkish friends who have registered their children at a school at the ÖAB which is now in this school building is yes and in the end I made a video where it was 4000 TLE for books but now something was added and the total is the total for school lessons for I think the eighth grade it is ate class 100 000 TLE for books So about 250 € that would have to be 100,000 TLE yes and she speaks the language and when she picked up these books from this library she talked to these people who work there and there were a lot of books for this 10,000 TLE In any case, it definitely doesn't justify the price, definitely not, but she was told and that's crazy that the Bachch school where we were actually already registered but has now sort of backed out because we were supposed to pay another €1,300 for books 45,000 Tele at the time that means exactly the same books are used as at the ÖH At the secondary school you pay 10,000 TLE for these books and for the same books for the same class you pay for the Bach school, which simply slaps on its price 45,000 so 35,000 you simply pay more there and I find that cheeky and you can't say that either yes I take the books from Franz or from Ahmed Mehmed who attended the eighth or ninth grade last year or buy them from him no that's not the case, you have to buy these new books and we even asked local people again There are people here locally who have or had to leave the Baldorfschule and have now gone there and are also internationally positioned and they also paid these prices even though they are Turks so locals and that's crazy for the same service for the same books 35,000 tele more in my eyes it's a complete rip-off that has nothing to do with huhu I'm at school now status symbol that's not worth it to me personally yes and so I'm very curious to know what your opinion is about it give the video a thumbs up as long as I'm here I'm definitely going to post a video from Turkey here every day, but of course I hope that you'll continue to accompany us on our journey, whether you're going to Germany for a few weeks, a few months, or maybe somewhere else for a few weeks, or, and then back to Turkey, we'll keep our property, so I'm very excited and look forward to your feedback. Let me know how you liked the video and I'm looking forward to the next video.
