ISTANBUL Here are the three most interesting parts of the video letter:

  • Istanbul is a unique city located on two continents, Europe and Asia, separated by the Bosphorus.
  • The city is associated with identity issues, and it cannot be unequivocally classified according to either continent.
  • The social and cultural division of Istanbul is often reflected in choosing a place to live. Some prefer to live on the Asian side, while others live on the European side.

    • Artificial intelligence has made a summary of the script of the video letter. The editor has checked the summary.

    What thoughts did the video evoke, what would it be like for you to live between two continents?
