Anyone in Ankara now?

Can we open a bank account with just a passport and get paid to it?

omeedreza 3mo

Yep, I use ziraat banksi, Just use the Euro account only. usd gets blocked

Also open an account in Vakif bank for backup

i also deposited 1K to get a credit card

Cuz credit card is visa and master card but the normal card is just a troy, you can’t pay with it in most websites

Hi

saeidr 3mo

I heard Ziraat is not opening accounts with passport anymore and I should use Vakif. And even Vakif's some branches open a bank account with passport.
Do you know any friendly branch in Ankara?

omeedreza 3mo

Nah bro send me a dm i know a guy that knows a guy that knows guy in the bank, he will do it for you

Fake turkey address and he’d give you even a phone number

Going to do a 3 day stopover in Istanbul in June, first time going there. Will mostly be a tourist visit. Any tips on places to visit, areas to stay in (or avoid) etc - please share. More a casual pace, not worried about party scene etc.

You should visit Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace — since they’re all in the same area it’s easy to explore them together and they’re some of the main attractions in Istanbul

For accommodation you can stay in the Şişhane area — it’s close to the Old City and the metro lively 24/7 and convenient for getting around

saeidr 2mo

I'll be in Istanbul for two weeks
Any co-working space suggestions that are open 24? Or at least late midnight

I'm around levent 4 metro

saeidr 2mo

It seems Kolektif coworking space is a nice place. If anyone here is in the Levent branch, let us a coffe. I'll pay 😄

hey guys, anyone in Kadıköy at the moment? i just signed on to be here for the summer (close to Moda), would love to meet up if anyone's around

limextapa 30d

Mediterranean summers are the best.

Beaten only by mediterranean Octobers )

lik3 25d

we checked out all coworking spaces on the European side and by far the best was CoBaC where we stayed for a month - if you’re closer to Levent ImpactHub would be our first spot though followed by KollektifHouse

saeidr 25d

I ended up using KollektifHouse
It's not perfect, although good enough

I couldn't get the 10day or monthly pass with passport, so I used a Turkish friend's account.
Their staff don't know english at all ((:

Internet is not bad. Sometimes it gets disconnected (mostly at midnight)
People talk freely in every area, even the silent zone

It's good that it is 24/7.

I had a open mic standup set yesterday. I would've invited you if I saw your message sooner.
There are weekly English standup events and I suggest joining them
One of them:

simitandchill 24d

carlycheton 24d

if anyone is intrested, I'll be happy to set a time to meet before or after the open mic to talk
Tomorrow is my last day in Istanbul (:

simitandchill 22d

I would love a Turkish standup so I can get my B1 level to C

saeidr 22d

This specific one is English
But if you look for Turkish ones, there are lots of it! You can easily fine some. I suggest Tuzbiber club as it's most famous. Louie CK once was there

simitandchill 22d

Thanks!

simitandchill 22d

Link!?

lik3 21d

I‘m in Moda for the next 3 weeks

lik3 21d

I might come as well. Do you think you need to buy the tickets in advance or is there usually enough space to get them at the door?

saeidr 21d

There are always space and you can buy tickets at the door
These are small events. 5-10 people, mostly comedians themselves ((:

saeidr 21d

Tuzbiber has mostly Turkish standups and sometime english:
