I'm in Istanbul right now and walked across the taksim at 10pm yesterday and saw a homeless man sitting in front of a store. We had someone with us yesterday who could speak turkish, so we approached him and asked if we could give him a nice day today. We agreed to meet at 10am today in front of the same store and just take it with us and give it to you on a nice day. Be excited, I am too. Let's go! Guys, there he sits. It' s really... he has kept on time. Guys, he is really sitting there! Salam alaikum! Hello, Hello! And we are going to the hotel now. We go to Hamam. We are now trying to communicate with hands and feet, because yesterday we had someone with us who spoke Turkish but he is not here today. Guys, that's crazy, that's just his bed. Here look, just sleeps here with this cardboard! What is your name? Kasim. Kasim, my name is Agri He is very very very very likeable really. Like a... Like a... yeah, some grandpa you love. Taxi! We are now in the cab we go to the hotel in the hamam where Kasim can take a shower and freshen up and then he gets some clothes from me so he doesn't have to go in his old clothes and then we go back to Taksim to get him a new outfit and everything he needs in case it gets colder again. Jacket and so on, but also a very very nice outfit so we can see a before and after of him. He will certainly not need this nice outfit on the street but it is just... yes to see so he can see how he can look like by wearing something like this. This will make him happy for the moment, but he will also get the clothes he needs and we will support him financially. Let's just enjoy this day together with Kasim. I am very curious how he will like it and what he will look like later. Hello!
We need a Hamam for this man!
Ok, i will show you! What's crazy is, he told us in the cab, he has been living on the streets for 20 years. Yes, here on the street without any financial support from the state. That's pretty crazy, right? So 20 years on the street, has three children, but now has his rest and can take a nice shower. Not showering for a week, you are definitely looking forward to a warm shower. This gentleman here has said that Kasim is not only allowed to take a shower but also gets a hamam. That means he will be scrubbed, he will be lathered, he will be massaged. Thank you for... Thank you for the support!
Really really nice, thank you very much! It is not a matter of course that someone who does not belong to the hotel can take a shower here and then gets a Hamam on top of it, which actually I think costs 65 euro here. If someone comes to turkey, to istanbul visit in any case this hotel, really something like that you have to support "Nova Plaza Pera" and here is a hamam. He is very happy and also is very relaxed and after that... he havent washed a long time and after that said "Thank you!" too much to you. Hamam good?
Very good! He thinks that after three years he feels healthy for the first time and that he has some kind of liberation.
Really?
Because he has always had so much pain in his stomach, and now with the hamam, when she touched him a little bit like that and so, this sewing, it did him so good that he now feels like in heaven. Really?
Yes! He sees everything from above now.
He says it feels very good.
Great! We are going to go in here now, pick out some clothes. Abi we need a very nice gentleman outfit for kasim! Okay? Okay. Do you make a very nice outfit for him ok? You coming downstairs please.
Downstairs? Ok! So now we have a gentleman outfit for Kasim. It is just meant for the makeover. But we also get him enough clothes that he can wear in everyday life. We have now decided on an outfit. Shirt, belt, shoes, suit, tie, handkerchief and so on. That will be cool! Huh? You like? Ok then. Kasim has definitely fallen in love with this shoe style, that's why he gets them, he really wants them, then he gets them. Because they are so easy to slip in and not to tie. So guys, Kasim will now get a coat for the cold winter days. Should be very cold. So now we get another bag for Kasim, because he wanted a bag. Is good? So now Kasim Baba has a bag that he can push, so he doesn't have to carry his bag all the time. Awesome! We are now here again in such a store. Because he liked these sports clothes. We buy him some more pants, some t-shirts. Can we put everything here in the suitcase, yes, then he can wear some clothes like this! Guys, he went for D&G!
So, then you need some more shoes. We have shopped abnormally much now.
Shopping tour finish! They even work together with "Wahl" here. Nice! "Wahl" is good? Yeah its very good! Now, you will look perfekt! We went back to the hotel, got the guitar from Kasim, in that time I freshened up a bit and took another shower. We go to Taksim now, where we pick up the clothes we bought. Then Kasim changes his clothes and then he plays a little bit of guitar for us! Kasim Baba!
Baba!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much! We're going to eat something. I hope you enjoyed the video! See you later! Bye bye
