Merhaba Adım Ozan, 28 yaşına yeni girdim. İstanbul da yaşıyorum. Küçükken havale geçirdiğim için Vücudum da fersizlik var 10 dk yürüsem bacaklarım yoruluyor belli bir müddet dinlenmem gerekiyor sonra toparlıyorum. aynı rahatsızlık ellerimde kollarımda da var. Yapabileceğim bir iş arıyorum.

Hello everyone!

I’m a Pakistani student currently pursuing my master’s in Computer Engineering in Türkiye. Previously, I worked as an AI Engineer in China.

I’m currently looking for a job in Istanbul. I’d prefer something in IT or AI, but I’m open to any kind of honest work. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Turkish yet, which makes finding a job quite challenging.

I’m new to Istanbul and don’t know many people here, so I’m reaching out to this community for help. If anyone knows of job opportunities for English speakers, part-time work, or has any referrals, I would be truly grateful.

Moving to a new country and starting from scratch isn’t easy, but I’m willing to work hard and make the best of any opportunity.

Even a small lead or piece of advice would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much for your kindness and support! ❤️

Is anything noteworthy for a tourist happening on thursday since it's a holiday, or maybe on the evening of the holiday?

Welcome to Istanbul! We love having visitors here, but as someone who rides metros daily, I need to address a frustrating trend I keep seeing: tourists handing out cash to beggars.

I know you mean well, but for the sake of everything holy, please stop doing this. Here is why giving to beggars in Istanbul actually harms the community, and what you should do instead:

No one is left to starve here Turkey has a massive network of social support. Between state programs, municipality resources, government charities, and deeply ingrained neighborhood support systems, there is a near-zero chance that someone genuinely goes hungry or lacks shelter. If someone is truly struggling, at least the local neighborhood steps in to take care of them.

It is a "professional" day job The people you see begging in tourist hubs, on the Marmaray, and in the subway lines are almost entirely "professionals." This is their daily hustle. By handing them cash, you are not helping the vulnerable; you are funding a lucrative, organized industry that discourages them from actually contributing to society.

Where your money actually makes a difference If you want to do charity, give sadaqah, or just share your holiday budget with locals, there are much better ways to distribute your money:

• Tip service workers: Leave generous tips for restaurants, cafes, hotels etc.
• Support local musicians: Give your spare change to the performance artists at the stations - they are mostly university students trying to make ends meet.
• Help low-wage earners: Pass your extra cash directly to the hardworking people keeping the city running on minimum wage.

Enjoy your visit, and please spend your generosity where it genuinely helps the working class rather than funding the professional begging rings.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to collect cyclamen seed for me from Belgrad Forest Hiking Belgrad Ormanı Yürüyüş Alanı area and post to the U.K. happy to pay for time and postage. ✌️DM me

Alright, so I’ll be going on a trip with my homie, and like I mentioned he’s gay. We wanted to go to an authentic hamman while we’re there. He managed to find a place called the Firuzaga Hamman, and it caters to gay people so he feels the most comfortable with it. The issue is I’ve been reading about all these police things and the LQGTQ issues as of the past few months (I saw one comment that said the police car in front of the hamman was parked there for other reasons, according to them from locals, but not entirely sure)

He wants to you know, find some hot guys and get some action while he’s in there, just kissing so he won’t be loud or anything, but he’s wondering if the staff working there are relaxed about it and if they don’t care as long as they don’t hear you. Shouldn’t cause an issue with the police either right? Doing it back at home isn’t really an option, for multiple reasons, so this is his only chance.

Thanks for all the help!!!

I would like to find a new home for my cat because I have gotten married, and my spouse does not want a cat in the house. The cat is quite low-maintenance, even when left alone for long periods; due to the nature of my job, I have often had to leave it by itself, so it is accustomed to being on its own. You can even leave it at home while you go away on vacation. It has not been spayed/neutered, but this has not caused any significant issues. I am looking for an adult living in Istanbul who will provide a home for the cat.

Edit: Cat is 5 years old and female. And I also have to add since I changed a job i can't give it enough time it deserves, And my wife did give it a try but they didn't worked out together.

I have a flight on Tuesday and would love to buy some. Haven't managed to find any around. Anyone got tips?

Hello

I will be travelling to Istanbul tomorrow and I saw the massive floods that had happened there. I was reaching out in regard to the aftermath of everything and if it's safe or "worth it" to travel.
For reference, my hotel will be near Taksim square

I'm honestly really scared about having to walk around Istanbul alone as a foreigner. I need to take care of my residence paperwork while also dealing with some embassy appointments, and I'm worried about getting lost in such a huge city.

I don't speak any Turkish at all, and English is the only language I can rely on. It's going to be my first time handling all of this on my own, and to be honest, it's pretty overwhelming.

Please pray for me. I really hope everything goes well and that I can get through this safely. 🙏
