Hello everyone,
Hello from my new home in Istanbul, I have just been here less than a week and I am settling in well. My wife Nes told me to avoid going out to Taksim today because of the may day march. It is lovely weather here today very warm and sunny, all the children are playing outside our apartment and last night the caretaker had a barbacue of which I tried the tavuk. I am pleased I am finally with Nesrin and can now report on life in Istanbul for a foreigner like myself

Hello all,
Thanks everyone who replied I send my best wishes to all of you, I usually write to each reply but forgive me if I cannot this time. I have been here less than two weeks and admit to feeling a bit lonley, my wife Nes works very long hours and is often out for at least 12 hours a day commuiting to work and then working. I can do the housework and cleaning and shopping and anything else around the house and this will fill a little time during the day.
I am still looking for work of some kind and although Nes said I can do the teaching exam I am not sure I actually want to go down this road. I would like to work and would consider almost anything that will bring in some money. It is very nice here but as always when you are alone you will find it difficult to adjust wherever you are in the world. Well must go and finish the housework best wishes to all

Don't you mean that cleaning the house, shopping and everything else there is to do, takes ALL day!
Joking apart, I hope you soon start to meet people and find yourself some work! I know how I would be if I had to stay at home all day! Probably rocking away in the corner :-S

Oh... thank you so much for stopping by and letting us know how you are. I am sure it must be very difficult to adjust in this way.. You should tell your wife about how you feel and maybe she could take some time off and help you get used to the new country and new place.
All the best to you!
