 Moving to Istanbul Hi Expats in Turkey,
Wanted to (re)introduce myself. I'm Todd and will be moving to Istanbul this year. Had originally introduced myself back in 2005, however our moving plans got a bit delayed. But it looks like 2008 is the year of the move. I'm from the US. Hope to meet some of you soon.
Best,

Hi Raja,
Utabe, If you mean for employment in Istanbul, I'm not sure yet. Definitely need to improve my Turkish though. Where are you two originally from?

Because you cannot make phone calls with a banana, Raja, it's just not possible. Unless great IBM already develops something. You never know!
So, Todd, if you are not from New York, where are you from?

Welcome to the community Todd. Don't worry. Once you get to Ist, things will start falling into place. Before you know it, you'll be right along side everybody else in the rat race making little rocks out of big ones. Enjoy your time in Turkey and good luck.

Welcome Todd!
You'll find a lot of fellow US citizens here. I'm a Brit and there's a lot of us too!
Good luck and enjoy Istanbul!

There's nothing quite like being welcomed with open arms by strangers in a strange land.
By the by, Atlanta is a finest kind place.

The beautiful ATL. A company I worked for has their office in Suwanee. Terrible place to in the summer when the AC goes out. I'm sure I liked it. However, the memory goes blurry and visions of empty Jack Daniels bottles parade through my head when I try to remember those trips to corporate and what I actually learned during those meetings.
Do you have an ETA for Istanbul yet?
