Re: Just moved to Samsun, Turkey

Hi Amber, there are currently only 7 expats from English speaking countries in Samsun (that I know of), and five of us are leaving when the school year's done - there is no international school. Maybe 5% of people in Samsun speak some English; it's very much an immersion environment for Turkish, which is not an easy language. The city is sort of like a cross between small town America in 1950 and a Turkish village; people are friendly, the food is good (though at this point I'm sick of it, since only Turkish food is available and there's only so much yogurt and eggplant you can eat), there are chickens everywhere, it's very socially conservative, and there is almost nothing to do...

Anyway, there are international schools in Ankara and Istanbul, and Samsun does have some good private schools where lessons are in Turkish... but it would be difficult to be here with kids. Internet access is pretty good, which helps a lot. Mail is okay, takes 2 or 3 weeks from the US. Taxes are ridiculous on mail order things from overseas, though - over 50%. There's a bookstore that stocks Time and Newsweek, but almost no English books are available. Also, though there is slightly more going on in the city center, the air there in winter is atrocious - everyone burns coal to heat their homes and sometimes from the hill over town you can't see the Black Sea 2 km away the smoke is so thick.

That said, it's a very safe and stable city. Kids here are mostly happy and healthy, if bored. Their general attitude is VERY small town though. Anyway, feel free to contact me if you've got any other questions. -Kira

Kira, my husband was just offered a job in Samsun...well, his current company wants to relocate him...and we need to decide what to tell them. My biggest concern is that online I am not finding a single english/american international school for my children. Is there one? Can you give me some information? I'm going to spy on your website to see what else you have written about Samsun...thanks for blogging :)

Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it. It's probably an issue with godaddy's slow hosting, though; I have issues posting things sometimes from the admin side as well.

Thanks, I did the site design tweaks myself! The template is from an online generator - you'll find a link under the footer. Then I just played with the CSS and put in a background texture and changed the default icons around.

I'm from Minnesota but have lived all over. My family's from near Duluth but when I think "home", it's Dinkytown, Minneapolis.

I always take photos of the informational signs when I'm shooting a location, so part of the research was from there and part of it was in various guidebooks.

I had to sell my studio lights when I moved to Turkey but I could probably put something together in terms of tutorials and commentary... thanks for the idea!

Hi, great article, and great site you have here!
What is this template you use? Is it custom made?
If custom made can you please give me the email of the guy who customized it for you?
I would love to have him/her do one for me also!

Thanks!
