I would like to work in Turkey and stay there for some months to learn the language,
the only thing i found is to work as animateur in hotel........ Are there any other possibilities,
and where could i search for it ? Does someone know?
Actually i don’t know why everyone is talking about Turkey as a paradise........
So nice people? So friendly? I don’t think so....... It is there job to smile to tourists......
turks itself , as i saw them, are unreliable and really talk to much bla bla bla........ It is very hard to believe them, because they never take response for there words........ I’m not talking about all turks (!), but a lot of them are of that kind ((((((((
IMHO

Absolutely true, maalesef...but, I must admit, there are exeptions. Pity that only a few among milions of Turks... and I have no luck to find that better exeptions.

I hope you should know a country where the mostly part of the people are completely responsible and honest....if you know that country, tell me.....
I think you have too stereotypes due to some bad experiences........

Such country doesn’t exist........ and it’s obvious
but every country and it’s people has it’s own charachter features, frechmen are aesthetes, germans are punctual and accurate, englishmen are reserved, spaniards are passionate
yes, these are stereotypes, but they are actually based on smth......... or am i wrong?

Well, I know French people who aren't aesthetics, Englishmen who are not reserved and Spanish people who are not passionate.....

Yes it can be based on something, but i think its almost impossible to state 100% exactly how is the people of a country, event in countries, there are stereotypes, between regions and even in towns or families!.....

if we start to talk about these stereotypes, we will see how is impossible to say "the people of that country is...", because , as it's said in Spanish; "everywhere people cook broad beans"....i.e., returning on the matter of this forum, the points of view about Turkey change in every person.....

If you can resume the national caracteristics of a country with a population of 60 millions people after a journey on that country...my hat will be off, and you should be antropologist or statistic maker......

That's why we say here that statistics always lie......

Good point.. and, this should be said by a non-Turkish person to avoid getting argumentative. thanks for filling this room..

Oh my God.....you have completely misunderstood me......
I’m not trying to judje the country and it’s people by some stereotypes ! Definetly not! ((((((((((
”it’s almost impossible to state 100% exactly how is the people of a country” have i ever stated that ???????????

I am not going to “resume national charachter” i’ve just expressed my PERSONAL point of view, the way I have seen the country.......... it differs from your one........... but that’s ok, i belive...........

about stereotypes..............
there are some really foolish, wrong and unacceptable......... an obvious example – when some stupid person say that islam is terrorism, that all muslims are terrorists ((((((
but there are some “normal” stereotypes, when people attribute to some things special characteristics......... it’s not a rule! but a certain regularity........ and one can hardly not notice that........

i would like one more time to stress that i’ve never talked about all people
and actually so was MY impression of Turkey...... my first impression.....probably it will change, who knows...... if you have seen (or know ) other Turkey, you can show me that i am mistaken....... but if this other Turkey really exists, there is actually no need in it, i will see it myself.........insaallah

Well, i answered not only your message......i thing i spoke clearly....i only wanna say that state that the people of some nationality is unreliable (fault that isn't attached to a specific country, i believe) shows a lack of respect, but that's my point of view.......

And also in my town is very tipical talking so much (and exaggerating so much).....i enjoy talking with other people, although i don't know them....it's a way to enjoy and learn.....i never saw it as a fault....

Nothing to add....i think this way is going to nowhere.....

hahah Xesc I agree with u, here everybody like talking too much =) but I couldnt live without it

Btw SETİCİO, I'm going as an au-pair to İstanbul, I think it's a good way to travel in a nice, cheap way

oh, that's great idea. I didn't know that there is a possibility to go to Turkey as an au-pair...

hehe
sertap sen o parayı bana öde,
ben sana tüm türkiyeyi dolaştırayım
