Using credit cards is very common, but there is an additional fee for currency conversion in the middle, which feels less profitable than cashing out. We usually use cash for our daily expenses. We only used the card to buy local specialties in the last two days when we didn't have enough cash.

Istanbul is really quite chaotic, everyone must be careful with their property. We arrived on the evening of the 15th, and on the 16th day yesterday, when we recharged our bus card at Taksim subway station, we were forcibly replaced. The situation was like this. We planned to recharge 100 lira, which was two 50-yuan notes. The first recharge was successful, and then when we recharged the second 50 yuan, the money was spit out several times. Suddenly, a man reached out his hand directly to take our card and walked towards the recharge machine behind us, telling us that we had to go to another recharge machine to recharge. I instinctively reached out to grab our card, but he avoided my hand and didn't let me grab it because he was tall and I couldn't grab it. In just a few seconds, when we got to the other recharge machine, he returned the card to us. Because there was someone recharging, we waited for a while, and then when the card was put on the machine, we found that the card had been replaced with an empty card. Fortunately, there was still some money left. After that, we felt quite afraid all the way, and reminded everyone to be careful with their property ? Turkey Q&A

Dear friends, have you encountered such a situation? Yesterday I picked up the car and didn't ask for a deposit. The fuel tank of the car was half full of oil. When I asked him how it was half full, he said it was okay to return half of the fuel when returning the car, because he couldn't communicate in English. So I drove away without paying the deposit.
