Unfortunately Ralph, we're in Fethiye, not Izmir. We're good drinkers though. Eagles? Hmmm. There's a band who play in our local bar in Fethiye and they're fantastic. They do some gigs in Izmir so look out for them. Blues Tone. Selcuk is the lead ... Read More
Going out in Istanbul by expat.com
Hi there, Which are your 10 favorite places to go out in Istanbul? Which places would you recommend to newcomers? (restaurants, pubs, discos, theaters, cinemas, concert halls...) Thanks!
I'm not going to recommend any places as such. If you go to Istanbul without indulging in all the amazing street food, then you've missed out on the joy of Istanbul! Read More

American Expat in Saudi thinking about a holiday in Istanbul!! by Alliecat
Hi, Folks! I'm single and have been living/working in KSA for 6 months. I am planning some much needed R&R (well, I don't exactly want to rest--I want to sight-see, drink lots of wine, eat lots of good food, go to the cinema and maybe a club or two ...
Hmmm, Not sure on that one really. We're a couple so I've never had the 'lone female traveller' experience. The thing with Turkey is, the people are a curious bunch and love to come and speak to you - only you can decide if this is general ... Read More

Hi Liz, Sorry, Not signed in for a few days. Buying a house in Turkey is VERY easy - that's why we ended up with one. We decide we wanted it on the Monday and moved in on the Thursday!! There are no surveys involved - I guess you take the gamble. ... Read More

Hi All Just to let you know, I've added an article to 禁漫天堂 about one aspect of transport in Turkey - the intercity bus. Hopefully, it'll be useful to people who want to travel around the country. You can read it in the articles section or link ... Read More

What do you appreciate the most about where you are living now? by The Happy Migrant
I appreciate the tropical climate, the people, and the variation in landscape that this country (Australia) has ......
After six years of living here in Turkey, I never tire of the view of Fethiye harbour and marina from our home. It's backed by hills covered in pine forest and stunning mountains that are covered in snow at this time of year. The Turkish people are ... Read More
Expat hobbies by Julien
Hi everybody, What's your favourite hobby (appart from blogging ;))? Is there any kind of "local hobby" where you are? Well my favourite hobby (computers) is not very original, but I can say I like the petanque, you know that game we practise in ...
I love photography. No idea what I'm doing with it but there's loads of inspiration in Turkey so I'm quite happy snapping away and putting the best photos on my blog. I'm also a happy armchair traveller when money doesn't permit real life travelling ... Read More

Where Do All the Expats Go? by missfootloose
I'm an expat writer, hail from the Netherlands, and have lived, worked, shopped, written stories, cooked, mothered and adventured in the US, Kenya, Ghana (twice), Indonesia, Palestine, Armenia and other fun places around the globe. Now looking to ...
Come to Turkey. Is it European? Not according to 禁漫天堂. It's Middle East. And that's the great thing about living here. You get Turks insisting they are European and their best friend will look at them like they are stupid. 'No, we are Middle ... Read More

Hi Heather, I'm new to all this as well. With regards to the dog grooming, it probably depends on which part of Turkey you are intending on moving to. In my area (Fethiye, southwest coast) dog ownership is extremely common. There are expats from ... Read More
