Motorbiking from Oregon to Ushuaia, Argentina Part 1

So you answer the next question as well as what was the eye opening experience, which hold up, where in Turkey were you? It was just in Istanbul.

So it was about, I can't remember the name of the district.

It was probably like three hours drive.

I mean, traffic is highly variable.

So it was like an hour and a half by the metro or public transport to like the Bosphorus area.

river or like the bridge between yeah hey that's awesome because uh my girlfriend and i we lived in istanbul for a year we were teaching english there um about two three years ago so i hope you enjoyed your time there i think it's an incredible thing so much to offer so big too yeah yeah that was i think one of the experiences that really blew my mind was that uh And Hawaii is a very low population area.

Oregon is, I think, only like 3 million, maybe 3.5 million people or so.

The biggest city I visited before that was San Francisco.

But flying into Istanbul and then getting a taxi organized by the university and just seeing rush hour traffic there was just something I couldn't comprehend.

It's a whole nother beast out there.

You know, I mean, it's literally straddling two continents.

You know, it's not like I know there's a lot going on there.

The European side is a lot.

The Asian side is a lot.

And then in the middle, it's just chaos.

But, you know, I love that feeling and not the traffic part.

No, but I like the whole what's this? What's that? Yeah.

Crazy.

So you answered my question.

It really was about what the eye-opening experience was.

So let's shift towards after your time in Turkey.

And I know you just covered in the beginning about your time with the motorbike.
