Working in Gemlik, Turkey

My Name  is Michael. I will be working in Turkey for the next 6 to 12 months. I was looking for any information on the area's of Bursa and Gemlik. Also is there any safety precaution I should take or that that I should be aware of. I have worked in Mexico so I do know there are certain precautions I need to take when travelling. Any information will be helpful. I am sure I will have more questions later. Thanks for any help.

Hello Michael. My name is Ali. I am a Turkish American living in Bursa. Gemlik is a town in Bursa municipality (Half an hour drive from city center). It is a quiete seaside town. Crime rate is low but it might be the best not disclosing your nation of origin to everyone since anti-American sentiments are on rise. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
