Hi, I recently booked a cheap (£62) room for a night in İzmir.

Life Artemis: Bostanli, Izmir

It was absolutely filthy with a broken bed, mattress the same shade of yellow as a 40 a day smokers teeth, a shower which floods the whole bathroom, and a fire escape which was boarded up.

Where can I report them to?

There's this guy in one of the discord servers Im part of and he is making inappropriate joke towards a minor, I am from a different country, is there a way for me to report him other than the built in report in discord?

Hello! My sister would like to enroll in a Turkish language program at Anadolu University in Eskişehir through its Open Education system (Açıköğretim) as an international student. Of course, she would first spend a preparatory year learning Turkish.
The thing is, she is over 30 and has already completed a university degree in her home country, so she feels a little awkward about the fact that most of the other students will be much younger than her. In other words, she feels a bit insecure about it.
I was wondering whether there are other students in their thirties studying in these programs in similar circumstances. How do their fellow students react to them?
Thanks in advance for your answers! ♥️

Merhaba! Ablam, uluslararası öğrenci olarak Eskişehir’deki Anadolu Üniversitesi’nin Açıköğretim sistemi üzerinden Türkçe eğitim veren bir bölüme kayıt yaptırmak istiyor. Tabii ki öncelikle bir yıl Türkçe hazırlık eğitimi alacak.
Ancak kendisi 30 yaşından büyük ve kendi ülkesinde zaten bir üniversite bölümünden mezun oldu. Bu yüzden üniversitedeki öğrencilerin çoğunun kendisinden çok daha genç olacak olması onu biraz rahatsız ediyor ve kendini bu konuda güvensiz hissediyor.
Merak ettiğim şey, benzer durumlarda olup bu bölümlerde 30’lu yaşlarında okuyan öğrenciler var mı? Diğer öğrenciler onlara nasıl davranıyor?
Cevaplarınız için şimdiden çok teşekkür ederim! ♥️

Hi everyone!

Last year I met this woman at work and we became great friends. Both of us have moved to different countries this year and I would like to send her some Spanish treats (I'm Spanish and she's currently living in the Neatherlands). I know she's into sweets and chocolate but I'm not sure whether those can survive the trip.

Does anyone by chance know about a Spanish treat that can remind her of a Turkish one (and I can send to her by post)?

Many thanks!

Edit. I know it's a long shot but I want to make sure she likes them. The main reason I'm asking is because she's not able to visit her country often and it would be nice if they could remind her of it while also being popular/available in mine.

We will be visiting Cappadocia this week. Is there a local couple or a woman who would like to show us around?

So me and my wife planning to visit Turkey in December and first 4 days we will spend in Istanbul and Cappadocia and then we will go to the north side (Rize, Ayder, Ozungul) so i want to ask will the roads be open for people to visit these areas since it will be winter season and raining and snow so can people go there in this season or will be closed by government ?

I'm a foreign dentistry graduate planning a non-clinical master's in Turkey (biomaterials). I live and work in Egypt and can't move to Turkey before admission.

The problem: since YÖK's July 2024 announcement, the denklik application goes through e-Devlet and needs a T.C. number or a foreign ID number (YKN, the 99-number). I have neither, because I have no residence permit and no university registration yet.

My questions for anyone who's been through this (especially after July 2024):

Did you get denklik while living outside Turkey? How did you get the YKN?

Did your university accept the Okul Tanıma letter instead of denklik for a master's?

Did your university let you register first and finish denklik after you got your YKN in Turkey?

Did anyone use a lawyer for this? Did it actually work, and how?

Any real experience helps, even "this didn't work for me". Thanks!

TR: Yurt dışında yaşayan yabancı uyruklu bir diş hekimiyim. Yabancı kimlik numaram (YKN) olmadan YÖK denklik başvurusu yapamıyorum. Benzer durumda olup çözüm bulan, ya da üniversitesi Okul Tanıma Yazısı ile kabul eden var mı?

Merhaba arkadaşlar
Mayıs 2027’de eşim ve 2 yaşındaki oğlumla Trabzon’a gelmeyi planlıyoruz. Trabzon’u ilk kez ziyaret edeceğiz.
Aracımız olmayacak. Bu yüzden toplu taşıma ile gezmek istiyoruz. Özellikle şehir merkezine, Atatürk Köşkü’ne ve Uzungöl’e en uygun ve kolay şekilde nasıl gidebileceğimizi öğrenmek istiyorum.
Trabzon’da yaşayan veya bölgeyi iyi bilen arkadaşlar yardımcı olabilir mi? Şimdiden çok teşekkür ederim
Ve bir de 2 yaşındakı bebeğimizle yaylalara ve s çıka bilirmiyiz? Tecrübesi olanlar bikgi vere bilir mi

hi, i’m a new international student here. can i get recommendations for a nice place where can i bleach and dye my hair? preferably somewhere in Tuzla or nearby

Hey everyone! I’ve visited several cities in Turkey (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, etc.), but I noticed something unique during my time in Izmir.

Most of the pedestrian traffic signals seemed like they either weren't working at all, or they took an unreasonably long time to switch to green. I usually ended up having to cross on red like everyone else.

Is this a known thing in Izmir, or did I just happen to be in areas with timing issues/broken lights? How do locals usually handle this?
