I live in Beyoglu, on the European side (a very easy ferry ride from Kadikoy) and am having a party at my house Saturday night. Feel free to stop by. It's not an official, or even exclusively, a Foundry event but you might meet some interesting folks and some other participants. </p> <p>Email me at cquirk at quirkglobalstrategies dot com and I will send the details. </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/already-in-istanbul#post-61 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 01:29:05 +0000 meedot 61@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>Hi everyone!</p> <p>I arrive the morning of the 18th and will be staying at the Hush Lounge.

This is because mosques forbid shorts and short skirts and bare shoulders and you will likely be in places of religious interest during your time in Istanbul. Also, most Turkish men do not wear shorts, so you will stick out much more as a tourist if you are wearing shorts. Women should bring a scarf and keep handy if needed.</p> <p>- Istanbul weather is a little complex. It will be warm in June but there are chances of windy evenings. Bring something warm just incase. The temperature in June is usually between 16C-32C or 60F-80F. </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/tips#post-49 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:20:51 +0000 mansi 49@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>- re : currency exchange<br /> Change a small amount at the airport as there is commission charged.<br /> Banks outside do it for free minus any charges or ATM.</p> <p>- We are in Kadikoy on the Asian side and NOT Karakoy which is on the European side. </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/tips#post-48 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:13:07 +0000 mansi 48@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>- There are 3 national mobile operators in Turkey:</p> <p>1) Turkcell<br /> 2) Vodafone (Telsim)<br /> 3) AveA</p> <p>Best to buy your sim card at the airport on arrival. There is a Vodafone kiosk at the arrival terminal. You need an unlocked phone and ID (a copy of your passport just incase).</p> <p>- Plugs used in Turkey, 2-pronged plug, type C, the same they use in France, Bangladesh etc...Bring adapters if you have US-type plugs on your computers, battery chargers, etc.. </p> http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/topic/already-in-istanbul#post-46 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:15:39 +0000 tiffanylclark 46@http://www.foundryphotoworkshop.org/forum/ <p>Hey Everyone-</p> <p>hope everyone is as excited about the workshop as i am!</p> <p>I am actually taking off today for Ist and will be arriving the 11th.
