Yes, although it was like 15 years ago and I was early 20s. Turkey is one of my favorite countries in the world. If you’re sticking to the major cities and the coast it’s easy and quite metropolitan. In the smaller towns I believe it’s quite conservative and probably harder to find English, but I was just fine in the areas I went

You will get a lot of unwanted attention. But you will be okay as long as you stay in busy touristy areas and don't stay out too late. Keep an eye out but have fun

It’s more culturally acceptable to stare in turkey (eg my F blonde friend was getting stares by men and women but it was bc Turks don’t see any blonde people). Source - my spouse F is Turkish

I was not getting any proper job, I joined a company as System Admin (the position name is only in pen and paper their actual work is data entry operator) on 3rd party payroll. The company only gives salary which is lowest in market. they don't provide any facilities. there is no career growth, learning facilities in this company. Still I am not getting proper job. Now I am forgetting the things I learned. Fully frustrated with my job. Please suggest how can I overcome the problem.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
