Watching super rugby in Istanbul by Jeangroenewald
Hey all anybody got ideas on where I can watch some rugby super 15 and tri nations in Istanbul ?
Yeah, North Shield is always your best bet - several TVs and endless TV channels from around the world. I've heard requests for all sorts of weird sports in there. Just get there early in case it clashes with a big turkish league match. Also, it's ... Read More

Any nightclubs in istanbul? by anaaxo
I will be visiting Istanbul in july, and looking to see if there are any clubs close Sultanahmet and ones that are open on a weekday? :)
Yes, loads! Though as the guys above say; none in Sultanhammet. Big, fancy, expensive clubs along the bosphorus and a lively city centre in Taksim, open til late every night with tons of bars and clubs but, like everywhere else in the world, you ... Read More

hello - I'm new and have lots of dumb questions by MrsMonkey
Hi everyone, I'm Laura, 29, English and will be moving to Istanbul in August. My future employer has gone (suspiciously) quiet on me of late but I'm due to be working at a school in Levent. Any suggestions which part of the city I should live in ...
Hi Laura, I work in Levent and live in Besiktas which, as pug106GTi says above, is just one 20-minute bus/mini-bus/taxi ride away. I like it here; it's a lively area in a good location near the bosphorus. Taksim, the main area for nightlife, is ... Read More

Your own translator!? That great! What type of work is it? I bet it'll be daunting at first working with mostly Turkish people but you'll probably be fluent in Turkish in no time! I can see why you're asking about an expat community though. I work ... Read More
