Hi all
I am moving to Istanbul at the end of April 2008 and would welcome any advice or suggestions from members on what I can do to bring in some income while I am there.

I am finally to be with my dear wife Nesrin and live in Turkey for two years before coming back and settling in the U.K. I would like to work and anything I do during my two years in Istanbul will be a bonus because we will have more income coming in. I am not having much success obtaining any work or advice for earning an honest wage while I am living with my wife. Nesrin said if I could earn around 100 Lira a week this would help enourmously, of course in England this is very little but this would help us of course it is the minimum amount and would like to earn more but I am being realistic. I would welcome any input on this subject thanks in advance

Thankyou Joanne I try and write myself as much as I can but I need a little help sometimes

Hi,

Best wishes Rich

My wife Nesrin said to me all Turkish girls should be able to belly dance

Hi all,
I have had an interesting e-mail of my wife about the website equivelant of e-bay in Turkey. She told me that a few of her male friends have a foot fetish and that this fetish is quite common amongst men in Turkey. A few of her friends have sold their old shoes on this website and have had many sales including interest from the U.K. also.

A friend of hers regularly sells her shoes and has never failed to make a sale, shoes that she no longer wants, I know there is interest in England in this also just by looking at e-bay, I am sure Nesrin will try this herself she is very shrewd when it comes to office gossip

Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for all your replies I appreciate all of them, I think best course of action is to contact the airline in plenty of time to discuss this further. I have all our wedding presents to take and my clothes and belongings, well some at least

The reason I have three cases is I am moving to Turkey in April, I forgot to say

Hi all,
I am slowly to arrange my travel details and would really appreciate some help from people who have used Turkish airlines before especially when it comes to the baggage weights and restrictions.

I understand that Turkish airlines do have a greater weight allowance for your first piece of baggage which is 32KG, I know British Airways is only 23KG, which infact is very small allowance. I would like to take possibly three cases including my allowance of the first piece of luggage which would be 32KG. I am quite certain that the two excess pieces of baggage would be both equalling another 32KG each thus the total would be 96KG. The first case would be my allowance and then the second and third pieces of luggage would be the excess can anyone give me some help with regards to the extra two pieces of luggage, they would be excess baggage. Thanks in advance

Thanks to angelina7 Moneygram is very useful and I appreciate your help, for example to send £250.00 English pounds by Western Union costs £27.00 Moneybookers.com is slightly cheaper at £24.00, but Moneygram is £9.99 now that is a saving and infact the outlets where my wife can pick up her money is more accessible
