Modern day Samsun, Turkey?
I'm going to Turkey as an exchange student for my 11th grade year. I'm an American teenage girl, and I was wondering what should I know about this town? Modern day Samsun. I've been to Istanbul before...but Istanbul is pretty close to NYC. You can wear anything you want and do almost anything you want. But I know that Samsun is something different. So any tips?

Dress modestly. Keep shoulders, upper arms, chest, waist, and upper legs covered. Samsun is a city ....

It depends on where will you go in Samsun.Because If will you go the center of the city,you can feel comfortable and you can wear almost everything you want but If you go to the suburbans or If you go somewhere that closer to the villages,I think you won't feel comfortable enough because people are usually different there :) I haven't been in Samsun before,I'm from Istanbul but I heard and know these things about there. Anyway,Istanbul could be better for you because it matches with your life style as in NYC.

I was born in Samsun.honestly ı can say samsun is more liberal than istanbul.ı lived 20 years in samsun and now ı live in istanbul so it is easy to compare two cities..istanbul is sometimes a disturbing city for females cos there are too many perverts in the city samsun is not like istanbul.so be easy about samsun.

There aren't that many Turks in Samsun. Most of them are Kurds and they are conservative. basically cover yourself up and don't try to flirt with anyone. It's like opposite of Istanbul.
