3 € Mittagessen an meiner Universität in Istanbul

You cant ask for more for 3€, this is 10-15€ in ro

So, no pudding, eh?

I recognized everything but the soup.
How much is a dener with ayran in Istanbul now?

It’s pretty good for that price.

In Ireland 3€ wouldn’t even get you a glass of tap water

Comparing the Turkish average salary with other countries’ could make one having second thoughts.

Food in the school canteen in a poor country with an inflation rate of 52%, when exchanged for Western currency, being cheap? No way!

In Universities in Turkiye food is extremely cheap you cant eat that for 3 euros in a normal restaurant

I was a uni student in Finland, €2.7 for university, and free for primary to high school, plus 2 different drinks

But what is it in lira? And what was the price in January, 2024.

The price does not mean anything because it’s subsidized. Someone else paid for it – maybe even you through your tuition, or more likely all the citizens through their taxes.

It’s like showing the sandwich your mum made for you, and saying “Lunch in Turkey, 0 euros”.
