Turkiye



After over a week of soul searching, deep contemplation and advice seeking I have decided on Turkey as my choice of location for this summer. Adana, Turkey will be my temporary residence from June through August. The pull to live in S.E. Asia was and still is great. But with money being a deciding factor, I am happy to be heading in this direction. I will conquer the Asian continent at a later time.
It is a marketing research and project management focused traineeship with a manufacturing and design firm in Adana. Part of my job role for this family run business will involve correspondance with the company's EU and foreign clients. Apparently, they want someone with my background. Their focus and rationale for using @ ofcourse is to provide their employees with a global comprehension of business and cultural understanding.
Adana as a city is different from Istanbul or Ankara I am told. Cheaper, smaller and a different experience altogether. Closer to Cyprus and Syria. I need to get tickets booked and work on getting a visa for not just Turkey but the neighboring countries in that region. Anyone know of a good travel agent I can use? I will be most probably flying in from Bombay or Bangalore in India.

Comments:
Try using a Turkish travel agency. STA may or maynot help. The visa should be easy - you can probably get a tourist visa. Good luck!
 
you should probably start smoking again. that's the best advice i can give
 
Too awesome. It IS a pity that Asia is so far away and out of the way between here and India. Someday. I hear wonderwoman is planning a trip to China.

So @ traineeship it is. Just remember, low expectations yields nice surprizes. High expectations, inevitable doom.

When do you plan on being there? Wanna meet up in between Szeged and Adana?
 
u never listen to me. i told u not to go to that shitty country. all blame is off of me
 
Turks, nothing but a bunch of trouble makers. Listen to Emir please for once in your life.

Doesn't nomadlife's biggest fan Joe live in Adana too?
 
Yes advice that the likes of Emir and Jesse give me is normally invaluable. what was I thinking? The loss is all mine:-)
 
Hey Surya
Awesome stuff! should be a wild experience. If you're in Blore do give me a call man.

You could also try to take the train from India to Turkey via Pakistan and Iran. My brother did it the other way. It would make a great story to tell... just a bit time consuming.

If you can fly Turkish Airlines... I highly recommend them.
