Quoting karekin04: Since the beginning of this topic started as "living" with the locals, I say of course you are going to seek out people more like yourself. Why wouldnt you, just because you chose to live somewhere else doesn't mean you need to try and adapt to every single part of that culture, you are still unique and shouldnt forget where you came from. Example.... my boyfriend has lived in the US for almost 6 years, but still eats tukish food and has definatly seeked out turkish friends to hang around with. So NO I don't think you "have" to do and eat everything turkish while living in turkey or just have turkish friends. Everyone gets home sick and if being around others like yourself helps you to cope, thats how you should live. |
That wasn't really my point. My point was that I enjoyed it because it was so different and I didn't want to go looking for a "my" country's food or culture! I like it being different  I wasn't complaining! We did go to a restaurant which was not spanish one time but to be honest I missed the spanish and didn't really enjoy it. The point was we didn't want to go out for miles to find some english people when the was spanish people we could get to know just as well I loved it!

 Honestly I wasn't commenting on anyone else's opinion only stating my own not really sure what made you think any different, but sorry if you thought I was dissagreeing with you in some way.

going back to the original question, i like a bit of both, sun,sea & sand but also i do like to stray off the beaten track sometimes and see the real side of turkey, not just the touristy things

Hi I've been living in Turkey now for the last 12 months. I find it is quite different from just visiting. Yes winter time is the hardest when you are occupying your time and depending on where you live there is not much open perhaps.
I have spent most of my time going into the centrum and shopping, going to the gym, meeting friends etc I do not live with anyone.
I rent an apartment in the Fethiye area. Fethiye is a working village. Nearby is Çaliş Beach. So I have the best of both worlds if I want it. Although there is not much sunshine around enough to sunbath but walking and taking the air is good.
I have Turkish families to the right and left of me I have always lived either within a Turkish house or in the community with the chickens, goats etc.
I am english (Obviously)I have not regretted coming to Turkey to live as it is truly a breathtaking place to be.

If you don't mind, can I ask about economics? I'm merely asking because not finding a proper job in Turkey is the only thing keeping me out of the country.
