Merhaba

I might sound too much phylo-american, but trust me...don't feel too much depressed for the language and too frustrated if they don't understand you.
I am a chef and I realized how much they are loosing as tourism. ..business. ..and money for not speaking English...or at least french or spanish.
I speak as an italian person and I see the same catastrophic situation as in italy of a place which could get much more from itself and for itself if only they understand the world has changed after it has become global.
Ps: good luck for ur cable tv;)

thank you, and I totally agree, much could be gained by inter gratingire English. In any case I want to learn Turkish, and over time I can accomplish.
And thanks fir the good luck... Took nearly 3 months to finally get my wifi on so I can use it

Hi dear,
Sorry if I'm not contacting you for lessons in french....I was wondering if we can cooperate and u could maybe let me work with lessons in english and in italian. I'm a teacher by title in both the subjects ( a part from other stuff like guitar...fine arts etc). I could contact u if they ask me about french
Bye:)

Wait, who is French?! I'm afraid I do not "parlez-vous français" either just English.

Hi guys I am living in Izmir and looking for friends .let me know if anybody wants to share travel experience and cultural views.

I'll be happy to meet you when I get to Izmir. I've been to India several times and have always enjoyed the people and the place.
I was in Istanbul for most of three months this year and decided to move my base to Izmir. Now it seems there are diplomatic problems that eliminate Americans use of e.visa.
I recently read that visas are available to Americans at the airport if they have stopped over for at least one day in Europe. Meaning that the visa ban only really applies to those coming on direct flights from the USA.
This may be out of your field but are you aware of this possibility?
Hope to meet you soon.

hello shall be in denzili, for few weeks,
looking to have friends to hangout.

My husband and I are looking to move to Izmir next year and start a family.

We currently spend half our time in Istanbul where we work, and half in Kent.

Since we will still need to commute to Istanbul 2 days / week, it would be good to be near airport or the new road. But being English, my main priority is lots of space and a garden... Any good areas someone can recommend?

I have moved from istanbul to Izmir... my cable TV has been active in two days ) maybe they said something different you couldn't understand...

Best regards
Tayfun

Hello

Gaziemir is a nice, silent district of Izmir, especially "emlak bankası konutları", so nice green area... silent and safety... near to the biggest mall.. it is one stop far to airport by subway (İZBAN)... For 3+1 flat around 110 sequere meter, Rents are around 350-400$... Kuşadası is not far to Gaziemir..
