However, you participation to the forum are very appreciated and after your move, we might reconsider your profile again.

Hi,

Though I don't live in Turkey right now, but I really like to move there someday. Maybe if I help people, someday they will return my favor. So, I'm ready to do what it takes to help people.

Warm regards
saeed

Hi Priscilla,

This Ufuk from Antalya Turkey.How is it going?I hope you're doing fine.I'll be glad to help anyone in my region.

I speak also French but I must admit my accent is like Flemmish )

The members of this site can ask me about anything,i'll do my best to help.

Take care everyone your super hero Ufuk is here to help

We moved to Alanya a month ago (Mahmutlar), I made many posts in hungary, but for now i have more questions then answers.
Me and my wife have lived in Netherlands (we are Dutch), UK, Luxembourg, Hungary and now Turkey (Alanya). I am 60 and my wife a bit younger.

Reason to come here, climate, ease of life, restaurants, cheaper (especially cigarettes), all is in walking (or taxi distance).
As for the climate, we knew lots of rain in winter, only thing I can say, I can confirm.

Inflation for us is not too bad, things are cheaper than we even imagined, however for locals the situation is terrible, the fact that Alcohol is same as in Hungary is around the same is strange to say the least.

So far Turkish people are friendly, very much so, very very service minded, but of course (especially during first few months we are getting ripped off (which is fine as long as we can get settled)).

Happy to see additional info on how to survive or get settled, many many things completed, but still many things outstanding, bank-accounts, tax info, how to deal with owners of association, home-deliveries, swimming in sea comfortably in sea (Mahmutlar), for me personally where to play chess, really fast internet, .....

Of course we have had our experiences (in general positive), but really we are newbies.

My background is finances (including taxes), so please only give serious comments, we are more interested in day-to-day life.
Happy to contribute, but please give us a bit more time.

For the moderator, please refer to the Hungary forum on what I do or can do.

Why do your posts in Hungary  you have done this post in English.
Turkish people want too speak English, maybe they do not understand Hungary language.
Best way too sort anything legal, go too the tax office, they are quite helpful. Get friendly with a Turkish person, that can speak English & put you in the right direction. I had an estate agent help me when I was in Marmaris, for an example.
Hope you get settled & everything sorted

For enight1, some of the things have to be done in original for Western Europe (not through scan, phone or email), frustrating, but that is life.
Some bank issues but also liquidating my company in Hungary.

I was just used to letter boxes in my life, not so much in Turkey, rest assured when I can get things to scans and email I will. Ordering DHL is also possible but a bit too far for some simple things.

By the way I am Dutch and do not speak Hungarian at all, I lived in Netherlands, UK, Luxembourg, Hungary and now Turkey (following the comfortable life against reasonable cost)

A shame no other replies, already 2 months old, where are the other contributors?

@yasmin9200 apologies, clearly you have e-mail and internet, loads of information on Bursa, what teaching jobs (primary, secondary, but perhaps even university). Getting a job permit is not so easy, but if you have support from your school it should be more then fine, you really should get somewhere else (government) and call them, if you are needed, I think no problem, if you take jobs from local qualified people I would say no chance, still why did you not give any specs in your post (suspicious in my view)

@cdw057  I tried to say that as I am a person living in Izmir, I can answer questions about Izmir without any payment. Or you can do some google research and find your answers. I didn't ask for any payment. The moderator can decide what to do and every decision is OK for me. I don't care....

@cdw057 Please check the question of the moderator. they are asking if we are interested in projects with expats... And my quote was just an answer to their question.
