 new asian girl in town hi all-
this is my 2nd week in Istanbul - I am from Hong Kong, based out of the US for work (Chicago) and just moved here from Qatar.
I had an awesome time this weekend with a few of you hiking (thanks!) and just had an "authentic" experience getting the full rub down from a turkish lady at one of the hammans! very interesting...
Would love to do more around the city and hang out - would be up for trying anything at least once!...suggestions and friends to see/experience the hidden "best of" istanbul welcomed!

Welcome, and this must be a bit of a culture shock to you; I seem to be splitting my time between Doha and Istanbul at the moment and know which location I prefer.

let me guess... hmm...let me take a wild guess... as much as I enjoyed my nightly hangout at Rydges in Doha, there's not a whole lot I miss about Qatar. Especially not the 45C heat...
Tell me when you're ever in town - we can swap war stories

Yes, it was great fun hiking with you on the week-end Kitty. Hopefully we'll get out again sometime.
btw, don't forget to mention that you grew up in TO, Canada. That's your most important biographical fact!
Again, welcome to Istanbul!

I can't believe that I will be the first person to say it:
Hello Kitty...

Hey Kitty,
I wont really say welcome, since you've been here longer than me, and since we work together I feel like I don't have to be nice . Just kidding, glad to have you here with me. Plus, I need to post more, so here's a welcome message.
