Recommended books: Constantinople City of the World's Desire by Philip Mansel and Strolling Through Istanbul by Hilary Summer-Boyd and John Freely.

Reasons to move here...a beautiful, thrilling, complicated, conflicted city of 15+ million people with over 2000 years of history that is everywhere you turn. The food is excellent. Turkey itself has an incredible amount to explore - google the Kackar mountains, Datca peninsula, Black sea coast, Gazientep, Mardin. Extra perks - Turkish Airlines flies everywhere and a one to four hour flight will bring you to Europe, Russia, central Asia, the Middle East and northern Africa.

You don't need to know Turkish but your life here will be easier if you do. If you have a friend here as moral support, you'll muddle through together.
