Turkey? What the fuck?

Late night Kebab is Kebabby.

OP here, I'm confuseded... :s

I think Turkey is pretty cool guy eh. Genocides Armenians and doesn't afraid of anything.

>>93174

>>93174
That was bad.

Also yes, OP, I have the same desire. For me, it is Brazil.

> the people, Constantinople....
Fix'd

Only Turkish food is excusable

>>93174
Even their genocides are shitty, I mean Germans topped their high score in like 20 years.

>>93186
Actually, Istanbul comes from a Greek rootword aswell, and the city's name was not changed when it was taken in 1453, but used as Kostantiniyye officially. It was only changed to Istanbul in 1930 citing that it was the common usage, therefore using Constantionople has no logical backing even if you're a bleeding-ass nationalist.

The more you know, the less you embarrass yourself on the internets via exposure of ignorance feeding your xenophobic tendencies.

I'm a weeaboo, so Japan is my place to be.

Wow, I didn't suspect that /trv/ had trolls of this caliber.

Turkey's not a bad choice. One of my professors lived a long time in Istanbul, places like the underground city sound amazing. Get into a good business job, I've heard there's a huge foreign population in the capital.

OP here, I'm studying a commerce degree (major: finance) at the moment. What would the job prospects be for an expat in this industry who isn't fluent in Turkish, do you know?

>>93178

Why Brazil?

>>93218

What are you going on about...?

My brother works as an equity analyst for a securities company that mostly works with foreign clients looking to invest money in the Turkish market, so he writes all his reports in English. However, as he covers local companies, he's in constant contact with their managers, who do speak English of course, but I wouldn't think knowledge of Turkish is dispensable. You could work in international sales in such a company, though I guess that would require more marketing skill than finance knowledge. Also, be warned, pays are ridiculous compared to New York, London, Frankfurt etc.

I'm like that with Russia, though I have zero ethnic connection to the country (I'm korean). I like the language, the literature and the hearty but plain food. I'm also interested by how they've paralleled the US in my field of aerospace engineering. The whole country just fascinates me.

I'm dying to try Turkish coffee though (pic related).

I'm the same way with China. Is that dangerously close to weeaboo? People always give me "that look" when I tell them what I'm into, like they expect me to own a sword or some shit.

>>93449
there are lots of FDI consulting firms in Turkey. and lots of foreing expats working in them. (istanbul and ankara mostly)
you'll have a higher chance to get a job in them compared to a turkish graduate.

OP here, thanks for this. /trv/ for once actually delivers.

>>93526
>I'm dying to try Turkish coffee though (pic related).

You should! If made properly, it's really good.

>>93524

BTW, did your brother happen to chance upon the position, or was he specifically looking for employment in Turkey?

>>93537
Well, it was the first place to look as he's Turkish.

I'm the same way with a few countries actually. Countries like Russia, Norway, Sweden, and England for some odd reason. Damn, I love me some cold climates.

I would move to any of those places in a minute.

i lol'd.

for me it is russia.

Japan when I was a 15 year old lol weeaboo. but my desire is kinda fading away.

Now, It's Monaco sp? I dream of living there, getting to know the locals, dinning in hole in the wall type places, and riding a Vespa around town lol.

Germany. I was born there; I'd love, someday, to go back.

Japan!

>>93449
i have a friend who works for GE Finance there. He didnt know a word of turkish. So you're obviously in the right field if you want to find a job abroad without knowing the language

But turkish is actually relatively easy to learn from what i have heard, because it's quite logical.

Finland - Met a family from there when I was a kid and was fascinated & always wanted to see it. Love saunas now.

Sweden - Fav. artist lives there, hear it has hot bitches too.

Italy, england, russia, japan, nigeria(fav artist birth place), uganda, singapore, australia(cricket) - all for various other reasons.

I was never THAT obsessed with a country before.

I occasionally enjoy traveling, but I would never move out of Canada because of an obsession with a foreign culture.

Finland for me. Everyone is always curious as to why when I mention this, but I don't really know why. Everything about the country--the language, the people, the cold and grey environment, etc. I've been teaching myself Finnish for like 2 years now and am nowhere near fluent, lol. Within the next 2 years I would like to visit the country.

Greece and France.

If you have dark skin or look eastern european be prepared to get mean looks from rednecks and close-minded inbreds. ( Even in the citys. )

ALL GLORY TO THE FINNISH EMPIRE

because modern turkish is a shitty, artificial constructed language

>>94053
"Shitty" would be your opinion, I'm not going to argue about that, but it's not an "artificial constructed language" save for a very limited part of the vocabulary.

>>94058
it's funny because you're obviously a butthurt turk and you don't know shit about your own language - I guess sapir-whorf hypothesis is true, and your dumbed down language is limiting your thought...

>>94061
I am a Turk and, no, I'm not butthurt. I am starting to think you are though; either butthurt or a troll.

To the best of my knowledge, it is not an artificially constructed language; which is not a matter of thought, but of knowledge, thus your argument regarding Sapir-Whorf is inane and, I suppose, aimed at insulting me, which is what lead me to think you are either butthurt or a troll.

If you have proof to back that claim, please do share.

>>94073
Scratch "proof", that implies certainty, which is next to impossible in linguistics. A couple of articles from sources worthy of taking seriously should suffice.

sage to avoid unnecessary bumping.

mongolia, manliest place in the world

inb4 Japan

I have a fascination with a lot of different countries, but none in particular.

>Just wondering if anyone else has a deep fascination with a foreign nation/culture, so deep that you have a seething desire to one day relocate there and immerse yourselves within the local population?

I'm a Canadafag, and for some reason I'm really fascinated with Russian history and culture, to an extent that I've been learning the language for the past year and learning everything I can about its history. Maybe I was a russkie in another life or something, though I have no Russian or Slavic roots.

I would love to live there some day, meet a hot ruskie wife and settle down. Maybe make a living as a private English teacher around Moscow or something. Or eastern-Ukraine, same thing just poorer.

Sage for towelhead sand-niggers

Same here OP, but with scandanavian. Then again, my family's from nth ireland, so in all probability, there's some mighty Norse blood there.

>>94115
>>93526 here.
I'm practicing russian with a couple of books and livemocha.com That site has a ton of hot russkies.

>>94115
>meet a hot ruskie wife

That part shouldn't be too hard. They're for sale online.

>>94073
yeah, because that's what was meant

enjoy your butthurt rant with no substance - by the time you spent crying here you could have learned something, and EVEN IF my initial premise was somehow false as you claim with your incredulous ignorance, it would not at all render the fucking sapir whorf hypothesis irrelevant - my claim is a direct application, that is the theory, idiot.

>>94250
lol for you and your ignorange.
if you think modern turkish is an artificial language, lurk moar. basics of today's turkish is not changed very much from the turkish used during the time of ottomans in anatolia. (yes bitch anatolian people use different language than the istanbul elites and palace folk) but i think you are so moron that you can't even tell the difference between a language and an alphabet.
so you know what to do (inafter lurkmoar) DIAF!
