How do you hang on in New York without knowing anything?
The country is coming towards you. It was always coming. Still, our country – but even more beautiful from afar… This article is for our friends who are hurting. People are ready to burn the ships because things are getting out of hand. We know that dozens of people around us want to get away from where they are, even for a while. Even though we have been away from the heat of the agenda for 9 months, if we are stressed here, the magnitude of the unhappiness in Turkey is immeasurable. -This unhappiness is one of the biggest reasons why we fled here at the time...
Read the article completely apolitical. Fleeing or staying to fight, homeland nation sakarya, empathy, sympathy, ideology, this is this; all in the trash… Let's say you're thinking of going somewhere. What can you make from scratch in New York? Its good or bad sides... Here I wanted to write an article where you can find the answer to this question and can help you, albeit a little. I wish we could share information about other countries as well. For example, I am madly curious about Australia. Why don't we do another crazy thing?
Coming here is not as difficult as you might think. You don't need as much money as you calculate. A classic plane ride; The only problem is visa. Come with a tourist visa. 6 months check here. If your situation is dire, earn money, get some relief and come back. Being a student is very difficult. I repeat, being a student is very difficult. You may have a chance to stay uninterrupted for 5 years, but school will finish you off. The biggest reason why many people become fugitives is their inability to endure absenteeism.
First I want to write the pros and cons that come to my mind.
Why Is It Good To Live In New York?

Why Is It Hard To Live In New York?
- House rents are very high. If you share houses with people, sometimes problems can arise.
- There is no washing machine in the houses. (I don't know if this is hard. You give it to Laundry, they wash it, fold it and bring it back)
- Like everywhere else, there are strange people here, they can disturb your order.
- For Americans, they can go seriously crazy.
- Working hours are incredibly crowded. Everyone runs somewhere. Sometimes you have to fight with someone.
- Transportation is expensive. The monthly subway card is $116. You work for it for a day and a half with minimal income.

- Taxes are high.
- You may not understand time. Sometimes life has passed.

- Your slightest weakness can turn into a big problem. You have to be constantly active.

- Excess ethnic identity can bother you from time to time.
- It is so hot inside the subways that you cannot breathe in the summer.
- You solve dozens of problems at the same time and think about the future. Every two weeks despair comes.
- English is not as easy as one might think. It annoys you at times.
- There is no tradition of restaurants and tea gardens on the coast.
- Everything is very fast. Having a cup of tea and deer for hours seems like a waste of time now.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AND WHERE SHOULD I START?
I want to write about what you can do with the worst case scenario. If you came alone, if you do not have a strong and social character, you will probably want to cool down and return from the city in two months. Well, you came alone but you want to stay?
- If you're looking for a home, start on Craigslist. Queens (Sunnyside-Long Island City-Woodside), Brooklyn (Prospect Park, Park Slope, Williamsburg, Atlantic Ave), New Jersey (Union City, Jersey City, Weehawken, Cliffside)
- Make sure that whoever owns the house does not take the rent off you. There are Lease owners who buy two people for $800 for a house with $1200 rent.
- If you are a student, make sure to get yourself a bank account. Your I-20 and the ID the school will give you are sufficient. Don't go to Bank of America. When your money is below a certain amount, they charge monthly Fee. Open from Chase.
- Go to the New York Public Library and other libraries and get a card with your bank statement that will come a month later. You can buy any book you want for free and benefit from everything in the libraries.
- If you want to sign up for sports, you can choose Blink Fitness or NYSC (New York Sports Club). Blink starts at $15 per month, NYSC $40. Never make a special subscription (for example, I want to enter Blink in every region). If you want to cancel, they charge close to 100 dollars. (I paid from there I know)
- Issue New York ID with your bank statement, passport and other documents. Anyone can get this ID. It works for you.
- If you don't have a credit score, you're nothing in America. Even if you are a student, remove the 'Secure' card and pay on time every month as if you were using an ATM card. $5 or $5,000, it doesn't matter how much you spend. Your timely payment is important to them. This creates your credit score. You can take out a loan the day after tomorrow.
- You can find all foreign company listings and divisions at www.nyc.gov. If you are looking for a job, email companies.
- You can get rich from tipped jobs. Become a bartender. You can earn up to $700 per week.
- A few of the Turkish Restaurants;
A La Turka: 2nd Street 1417
Gulluoglu: 2nd Street 982
Turkish Kitchen: 3.Cadde 386
Babylon: 208 East 34th Street
Ali Baba Restaurant: 2nd Street 862
Instant: 2nd Street 928
Sahara: 2nd Street 513
Istanbul Grill: 310 West 14th Street
Beyoglu: 3rd Street 1431
The list goes on, folks. We're pretty good in the restaurant business here.
- Download the Metro app. The map makes it easy for you to go anywhere. Finding an address in New York is easy. You solve the trains in two days. The app will show you the transfers.
- You can follow free events from sites such as Meetup.com, Spoilednyc.com, Nycgo.com.
- If you want to sell something, you can open a table on Bedford Street in Brooklyn/Williamsburg. Nobody tells you anything. The streets are yours as the checks are over after 5pm. You can sell something outside the main squares. Do not be shy, do not hesitate. You don't care about anyone.
- If you want to join Flea Markets, just send an e-mail.
Queens International Flea Market
LIC Market
Market Nyc
Fort Greene Flea
Brooklyn Flea
Artists and Fleas
Smorgasburg
Astoria Market
Hester Street Fair
Atlantic Flea Market
- They may ask for Tax ID for some jobs. It is an ID you will get to pay taxes. Anyone can take it off.
- If you cannot find a job, you can apply to the employment agency. New York State Department of Labor. I know they're taking your first week. Or there is a small fee.
- If you are looking for scholarships, there are hundreds of services at schools affiliated with Cuny. CUNY (City University of New York)-SUNY (State University of New York). The difference is that one covers schools around the state and the other covers schools around the city. State schools are cheaper. But both are expensive to non-citizens. Go to the CUNY Welcome Center and learn about schools (217 East 42nd Street). Average school fees start at $8,000 per semester (3-4 months). So $15,000 per year is the price of a middling College. If you come with a greencard and show you have no income, school comes for free.
- Download Tinder. Here is the easiest way to socialize. The more you get to know people, the easier your work gets.
- Always be active, never give up. A problem can arise in any matter at once. Thousands of people go through the same thing. New York both loves and grieves. Things will be fine.
- If you get sick, go to the emergency room of any hospital. Even if you don't pay the bill, but if you say you have no income, they will offer you a Benefit card or other options of the same type. You don't die in America when you get sick. We thought so.
- Make your metro card monthly. If you don't want to spend $116 every month, get a bike. Cycling is the best mode of transportation in New York. You can also use all buses with the metro card.
- There is an incredible concentration of Turkish companies in New Jersey, just so you know. The Paterson region is almost like a small Turkey.
- There are hundreds of internship opportunities on Craigslist. With a little buzz and confidence, you can get the job. They will not give money at first, but after that it is not clear.
-Always tie your donkey to a solid stake. Never! Never! Never! Don't change your life on someone else's word.
- If you are in a very difficult situation, reach out to a Turkish person and ask for help, they will definitely help you. :)
