Determined to move to Istanbul by yuro584
I don't know where to start. I know very little Turkish, and I don't know what such a move would entail. Also.. I would need a job and I don't know what kind of jobs are available to foreigners that don't know much Turkish. Any input is appreciated. ...

I think if you come to live in a foreign country and you're not willing to change or adapt to find ways to fit in with the culture of the country then you're going to struggle. Every country is different, you can't expect the country to change for ... Read More

Lavoz :) Turkish people that deal with foreigners for business or services speak English and their local language Turkish. You can't expect your local shop keeper to speak English because you can't speak Turkish. He's probably never left Turkey in ... Read More

I can only speak for Istanbul... I wouldn't say Turkish people are particularly racist, they may stare at you but that's purely because there a not many African people here. I first visited Turkey over 5 years ago and there were not many African ... Read More
