we did a DIY divorce and you don't need an attorney. our total combined costs were around 5 or 600TL, including interpreter for the hearing (though we found one who did it for next to nothing. if you're in istanbul i can send you his info, otherwise expect to pay upwards of 400TL for the 10 minute hearing). the protokol document is pretty straightforward, we got a template off a website, but i unfortunately can't find the website. i do, however, have the version we ended up using (it's in turkish, but google translate does a pretty good job of translating it so you have a better idea of what's

IstanbulWhiteboy replied to rosewater's topic in Dating and Romantic Relationships
wow. ok i think the voice of reason needs to step in here: don't waste your youth thinking about marriage. this isn't the 18th century, people live past 35 nowadays. there's no reason to even consider marriage before 25 or even 30 (and if you look at the statistics marriages between people who are younger than that are doomed to fail). yes, the idea of an "exotic" relationship sounds wonderful, but you're not even close to ready for the reality of it. women much older than you have been burned time and time again by this exact same fantasy (and that's exactly what it is). i guarantee he's not -

i just don't cut my hair but once every 10 years. problem solved =] though i do feel your pain. i got my decennial haircut two years ago, had to get it done twice because the jackass who did it the first time thought he was putting on a performance art show or something, all flare and no skill. went to the jandarma kamp with the ex after that and for 2TL got a great cut and no flash. i may never get it cut again....

Should I Lend Money to a Friend or Not?

if the mortgage is transferable have it put into your name. then the house is yours until he pays you back, and if he doesn't, you've got yourself a nice piece of real estate for 20,000 if it's not transferable don't be a sucker -
E visa and days you have to be in UK beforecoming again
IstanbulWhiteboy replied to harpercudworth's topic in Side
doesn't matter that you're in the UK, you just can't be in turkey. dunno the official term for it, but in general people call it a 90/180 visa, or 90 days permitted in-country out of 180; the way i understand it is that from the date the visa was issued you have to wait 180 days before you can get another visa, whether or not you used your full 90 days permission -

How can I find someone in Adana without much information ?
IstanbulWhiteboy replied to dreamergrl66's topic in Adana
frustrating and EXPENSIVE (and potentially dangerous if he's already married, which is entirely possible). -

Move on. not worth the heartache and hassle, and definitely not worth the expense of traveling to turkey only to discover the worst. -

i don't see a category for night life and entertainment (hint hint Ken) so i'm posting this here: if anyone in Istanbul is interested in seeing live local bands there's a show tomorrow night (friday the 4th) at Nina in Beyoglu (friends of mine). free admission, decent price on intoxicants (for beyoglu). they're also playing on Sunday the 13th in Kadikoy at Shaft (also a free show). PM me for more details or follow the links to their FB event pages below:Friday the 4th: https://www.facebook.com/events/244858289046819/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcomingSunday the 13th: https://www.facebook.com/events

Relocating to Turkey - Ideas Needed
IstanbulWhiteboy replied to hamaddar's topic in Moving in or to Turkey
yeah, yr chances of working are pretty slim unless you find an international company to work for before you get here, or do freelance or online work. most people teach english, but as you're not from what the MoE would consider a native english-speaking nation (and yes, i know english is prevalent where you're from. i don't make the rules, i just report 'em) your chances of getting a job as an english teacher are next to none. that being said, if you're adament about living here, you can look at bahcesehir (see the link in my signature), it's about 30km outside of istanbul, very quiet upper-mi- 13 replies

that's exactly why i created it. searched around and couldn't find anything, so decided to do it myself. it's very small at the moment, less than 3 days old and 17 members as i write this, but i'm hoping word will spread rather quickly. i know there are a lot of us out there...

shouldn't cause an issue. there are lots of freelancers in istanbul and around turkey, and the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages. pardon the shameless plug, Ken, but just the other day i created a facebook group specifically for freelancers (search fb for "United Freelancers in Istanbul" and i'll be happy to add you to the group), because other than this fantastic website (TurkeyCentral) there's not a lot of support for us out there. we've only got each other!
