New to Istanbul

Hi everyone,

I'm moving to Istanbul on 1st March and am looking for other expats that might be able to offer some advice and friendship in my first few weeks.

Please get in touch if you can or if you're in the same situation!

Hello all of you people, I'm software engineer, have been here in Istanbul for about one week, I would like sooo much to meet new people and have some friends. I'm having a hard time communicating with the Turkish people, it seems that no one speaks English here!
Please guys and girls if you feel like wanna meet someone who is open-minded and friendly guy then contact me! I've begin to get bored from walking around alone here.

Hello everyone i am 27  and native Turkish.I work in  private bank.You can send me message if you want meet in here.

Hi emilia!

I'm an American expat, just found this site (and consequently, your post). Hopefully you're still checking it.

Anyways I'm in a similar boat in that I'd love to meet up with some people. I've been here six months but due to work and travel haven't managed to meet many people.

If there's any advice you need on adjusting (it was a pretty big culture shock for me) hit me up :)

Cheers

the same situation you have:)

Hey dear all!

I'm looking for the people who can speak English. I live in the European side of Istanbul and you can ask me whatever you want.

Take care.
