Turco:


I found Nairaland by myself on the internet when I was looking for information about other nations attitudes towards Turkey and Turkish people in my spare time.

ligopedro:

But we can always search the Internet with you listed below. Is there anything else you wanna share with Us.

MyLady11:

Chance of securing a job over there? Are they paying per week / month. Are they friendly over der?

TurkishPerson:


Hey back! I am Turco. I couldn't understand why it is written ''you cannot do it now, try again in a few hours'' when I tried to reply any comment in my Turco account. I'll be very glad If any of the moderators can help me. So, I thought it is something about my account and I've created another account to try and It somehow worked. I'd like to use my account as Turco, I just don't know how to write in that account.

Anyway, just tell me what you'd like me to share?

ligopedro:

You can mail the modarators. They will help u out

Turco:


Thank you. I've mailed them. I didn't get any response but I somehow can write at the moment.

I lived in Turkey for two years and still have fond memories of my time there. Lived in Maslak, Istanbul and worked at Perpa Ticaret. Took the rapid transit all the time, the buses or the subway. Very good hospitality. Can't forget the food and the people.
Glad to have you around.

Welcome to Nairaland its good to have you here. I saw your response on the Turkiye Burslari Invitation Thread. I love Turkey and I hope to be there this year In Sha Allaah. I love pictures a lot, especially pictures of streets, life in turkey, roads etc. I'll appreciate if you will upload pictures of Turkey streets, places, transportation etc. Also, I have personal questions. Thank you.

Well, it is a bit comprehensive question which is how's life generally in Turkey. It is definitely depends on how much money you're earning. Just like anywhere on the world. For a rich person it can be a dream life, living in Turkey. If you don't have job and have to get your unemployment salary it can be difficult unless you find a job. But overall, it is quite good to live in here if you compare other parts of the world. Of course in Nordic countries or very well developed countries like Germany or Canada life can be easier for people but it is reality that we're not in a bad situation. Only thing about Turkey is life can be expensive sometimes and it can be difficult to maintain living costs and we're a bit crowded, population is more than 70 millions.

If you're a citizen and qualified enough, there will be no problem to find a job here. Yes in the beginning they will pay you not enough money to buy a car or house but things get better and better while you're working. It is possible you may try to find job for months but I think it is the same everywhere for one with a degree. Minimum salary is 1300 Turkish Lira(TRY) which is equal to 450 US Dollars monthly. It is the salary for featureless jobs. An engineer who has no experience can earn around 2000 Turkish Lira(TRY) which is equal to 700 US Dollars but in the other hand if you're a experienced and qualified engineer you can earn around 10000-15000 Turkish Lira(TRY) which is equal to 3300-5500 US Dollars. But I heard some refugees or foreigners are working for less than minimum salary.

Social life is quite great If you know what you looking for. It is a free country where you can find whatever you find. If you like night-life there is everything for you. If you're person who likes quiet life there is also everything for you. Most cities ''sleep'' around 10pm at night but metropolitan cities like Istanbul, Ankara, Izmır or Antalya life never gets stop. There are numberless of cafes, restaurants etc in country. Entertainment sector is quite developed. But if you'll be in rural are I don't think you'll have many choices.

Police? Well, I think you asked this question because you're a foreigner and you wondered what you can encounter. I've spoke to police 2 times in my life. One was about my passport, I renewed it and other one when I had an traffic accident. They came to file my complaint and they were traffic police. Police work 7/24 and during daytime they patrol cities. You can contact them via 155 Police Emergency Line and they're very knowledgable about their job. As a normal citizen I don't think you'll see any of the special forces or riot police in your life if you don't involve in any protests. Apart from these as a foreigner I don't think you'll have any trouble if you are not in any ''bad'' business. They are very strict about it as I know and you may have real hard time. There is an African watch sell on the city square of where I live and he is there every single day. I am %100 sure that he has no work permit but I didn't see he had any problem. Maybe he had but I didn't see it, I am not sure about it. At the port of arrival, you'll see both Immigration officials and Police and they will ask you multiple questions and examine your documents. If you're just a tourist and don't look for immigration I don't think you'll have problem either.

Living conditions are quite good. Major heating source is natural power in all around country and you pay your bills monthly. All country has water and electricity lines and there is no problem about it. You pay your bills monthly either. Internet is quite fast and you can buy fiber-optic wireless internet. There are 3 main mobile phone operators and serving 4G. Cost for one pack of sliced bread at market is 3 Turkish Lira(TRY) which is equal to 1,2 US Dollars and 1 Turkish Lira which is equal to almost 0,40 US Dollars at bakery. I don't know what to write else about this subject. Maybe you can specify your question.

We're not a flat country and land is extremely expensive. So we don't live in houses here. We live in apartment buildings in flats. Rents are expensive. Condition of flat depends on how much money you can pay. In case of any problem about your flat you can contact your owner or municipality. All flats have to have their infrastructure so there is no problem about it. But conditions really showing changes from flat to flat. There are brand new flats and some 50 years old flats.

You can ask me more If you'd like to.
