Istanbul - Post Report Question and Answers

Morale among expats:

Crappy, although I don't know why. Your post is what you make it. So if you have a crappy time then you have a crappy life. - Oct 2010


Depends on whether you want things to be just like home or whether you came overseas to experience a difference I guess. - Jan 2010


No real expat community to gauge - Jan 2010


Many came not expecting to stay but liked it and remained. For those with a little patience and sense of adventure, you can have a great time here. But if you are intimidated by the language or unwilling to take chances, it could be a bad experience. People with that mind set are better off not leaving their home countries. - Dec 2009


Moral among expats in the consulate is very low. Poor management choices are to blame. Moral among expats outside of the consulate is generally high. - Dec 2009
