most of the people are hospitable in istanbul.if you ask for some information about the areas before you go or if you dont go anywhere that you dont know alone,that would be better for you.the most popular place to go and hang out is taksim which is my favorite, cuz there are so many bars,clubs.cafes and restaurants in taksim.you can find many kind of food and drink and many kind of music(live,turkish,english) there.after drink you can go to tophane and smoke nargile(turkish water pipe) which is fruity then lie on the big pillows and see the stars and relax lol

1. How long have you lived in Istanbul?
Since i was birth

2. Are you a native to Turkey? If so, how has it impacted your experiences in Istanbul?
Istanbul is a so mixed and different city in the world. You can see so much buildings, people and language of every culture.

3. How do you find the people to be in Istanbul? What is the general mood around the city?
Its a so strange and hard question. Because Istanbul has different cultures.. Turks says "Everyone lives in a different Istanbul"!

4. What is your opinion (briefly) of Abdullah Gül?
His past includes lots of thinks about Turkey and Mustafa Kemalk Ataturk. He hates modern Turkey and laic government / laic life style. So he is not a good man for Turkey and for me!

5. Any favorite places to eat?
Bagdat Caddesi and Caddebostan

6. Favorite places to visit/ hang out?
Roads near beach of Asian Side..

7. If there is one thing that you would want a foreigner to know about living in Turkey, what would it be?
Turkey is like a Arabic country? SO many people dont know who we are. And they know only from Midnight Express.. Thats so pitty..

Name: Meltem
Age: 24
Place in Istanbul: Fenerbahçe (Kadıköy)
Occupation: Student

1. How long have you lived in Istanbul? since birth

2. Are you a native to Turkey? If so, how has it impacted your experiences in Istanbul?
Yes, I'm native.

3. How do you find the people to be in Istanbul? What is the general mood around the city?
The people and the atmosphere really changes from quarter to quarter. It's a city of contradictions and extremes(poor, rich; ultra religious, ultra liberal) that consists of all kinds of people from all around Turkey. In Istanbul, when people meet eachother, they ask "which city are you from". The old İstanbul (around Haliç and also Kadıköy) is very historical. The mosques, the churches are magnifiques. There's a problem of over population, and a need of public transportation. The "gecekondu" is really a very big problem. They are the buildings who are very quickly put up without permission by the immigrants that come from other cities. They're usually poor and ugly districts, they should be destroyed. The center of Istanbul (Taksim, Beyoğlu, Ortaköy) is 24 hour living and the night life is very good.
4. What is your opinion (briefly) of Abdullah Gül?
I do not support him, his political views do not match mines.

5. Any favorite places to eat?


6. Favorite places to visit/ hang out?
I like Ortaköy and Taksim. They are two famous 24 hour living districts.

7. If there is one thing that you would want a foreigner to know about living in Turkey, what would it be?

Choose your city and region carefully. The culture could be foreign to you, so before coming learn about the culture and society. Turkey is a very beautiful country, but it is not a fully developed country, so be aware of the problems (all kinds of).
