Hi Halime!

Great to hear from you.. wow Bangalore! I come from Bombay, never been to bangalore but i've heard its a nice city.
What did you think of it?
Aaah i don't think we will be coming to Ankara since my fiance is working the whole week

But if we do manage to make any plans i'll definitely tell you!
How long will you be there for?

Take care
Have a nice day x

Can anyone help me about moving to Izmir. I am currently living in Istanbul with my Turkish boyfriend. However due to financial concerns and my lack of teaching qualification I am going to move back to Ireland for 6 months to save more money. Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to get an English teaching job in Izmir. I do have some teaching experience but I do not have any qualifications such as TEFL. My second question is, is it possible to get certified as an English Teacher in Izmir and find an english teaching job at the same time. Or would I be better to get my TEFL or another teaching certificate whilst back In Belfast Northern Ireland. Thank you for all who will reply back to me. (Also I do have a degree but it is in Management).

Hi Nicky!
I'm in mavisehir (karsiyaka) what about you? Izmir is nice.... the people here are so nice! But life is a bit slow here

I found out about this organisation called the IWAI (international women's association of Izmir) and met a lot of other expats which was great!
How is the job search going?
What do you think of izmir?

Hi Anjana and Nicky! I'm going to be moving about an hour south of Izmir in March. I'd love to try to meet up some time. I'm going to be in Guzelcamli, which is a little outside of Kusadasi. I'm sure I'm going to want to get up to the "big city" sometimes

Hi Mukesh, I'm sorry for my late reply :-(
When do you plan to come to Izmir?
I think that Turkey is a great Country, there are many beautiful places to see. I like living in Izmir as it's very modern, yet very traditional at the same time.
bye for now

Hi, Im living in Bayrakli, Izmir, I am looking for friends

sounds sad dosn't it haha but I don't think I'm just going run in to people that can speak English! Is anyone interested in setting up a meeting somewhere, for coffee and and a chat? My husband is Turkish and he works as a musician here in Izmir, it would be great to make some friends so I can start filling my empty diary!
