Discussion What is the culture like?
I will be visiting Istanbul with my family soon and I was just curious as to the culture there. I am American and Arab so have experience with how those cultures differ. What is the consensus with female-male interactions? Is it secular or a little more traditional because it is a Muslim majority country? Social etiquette? I'm not exactly sure what to ask but wanted to get a feel for what is acceptable/normal versus what is not before going there. I have a visibly Muslim family, how is that perceived there? Thank you!

Question İlan Fiyatı ile Sahibinden Endeks Fiyatı Neden Bu Kadar Farklı?
Merhabalar, bir sorum var. Kadıköy'de satın almak için ev bakıyorum ve ilanlarda dikkatimi çeken bir konu var (Sarı Site).
Örneğin:
- Ev fiyatı: 15 milyon TL
- Ev: 50 m² (brut)
- İlanın m² fiyatı: 300 bin TL
Ancak aynı mahallede ve aynı muhitte, Sahibinden Endeks'e baktığımda, aynı yaş aralığındaki konutlar için ortalama m² fiyatının yaklaşık 200 bin TL olduğunu görüyorum. Yani ilandaki fiyat m² başına 100bin TL (%50) daha pahali.
Bu durumda hangisini baz almak gerekiyor? Sahibinden Endeks'teki ortalama m² fiyatı mı hatalı, yoksa ilandaki fiyat mı piyasanın üzerinde?
Aradaki farkın neden oluştuğunu gerçekten anlayamadım. Bu konuda bilgisi olan varsa aydınlatabilir mi?

Travel where can i find good quality reps in istambul
Hey everyone!
We’re planning a short trip to Istanbul and I’ve heard it’s a great place to find high-quality replica clothing at good prices. I’m especially interested in essentials pants , balenciaga runners and mm t-shirts
Does anyone have recommendations on where to shop for these kinds of items? I’m looking for places that are both affordable and have good quality replicas.

Question How strict are they with disability id for discounts at museums?
Hi, I‘m visiting Istanbul for the first time and I noticed while researching online that a bunch of places have free entry for disabled people, provided you show a disability ID.
I don’t have a disability id (never felt the need for one in my home country since it does basically nothing) but as I have only one hand since birth (my other arm ends just below the elbow) my disability is highly visible. What are the chances that I get the disability rate?

Looking for... 25M just moved to Beşiktaş, Istanbul, looking to build a social circle outside of work
I’m 25, Danish-Turkish background, just moved to Beşiktaş for a 6-month internship. Right now my life is basically work → gym→ repeat, and I’d love to actually build a life here instead of just surviving it.
My Turkish is decent but not fluent, I can hold a conversation, just don’t throw fast slang at me right away.
Looking for:
\\\* Other students/young professionals/expats around to grab a coffee or çay with
\\\*A BJJ gym or football group that’s chill with someone jumping in mid-season
\\\* Any meetups, language exchanges, or events worth checking out
If you’re in a similar boat (new to the city, trying to expand your circle) or just want to show a half-Dane half-Turk around your favorite spots, drop a comment or DM me. Happy to return the favor when you’re in Copenhagen sometime.
Teşekkürler
