I'm a foreign university student in Istanbul and I moved here in June 2017. I love all the amazing things that Istanbul has to offer, but I'm very curious as to why it is so hard to meet people here. I understand that the language barrier is tough, but where are all the foreigners at? I miss speaking English with people and engaging in interesting topics with friends and strangers. Unfortunately I haven't met anyone who speaks fluent English in Istanbul yet, so it is hard for me to even have a proper conversation with anyone. My question is, are there any clubs/lounges/bars/places that I can find a few or even many English speakers at? Any specific bars or clubs that play English music? I know it sounds like I'm complaining on here but I've truly missed socializing with people. Istanbul is leaving me a bit lonely.
