Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss Tea, Coffee + Designers hangout! held on Sep 29, 2019. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.
I am here right now, and nobody I ask knows anything about your meeting -- and I am asking in Turkish to be clear and they know what I am saying. Please clarify. I am over by the RAFF store if you get this.
If it's the Starbucks near the shore, that one is always really crowded -- or has that changed since they added the upper floor? I come over that way really infrequently these days, unfortunately, so I don't know the latest.
I recommend something close to the shore, near a Metro or bus stop so everybody can find it easily. Past that I don't have any specific places in mind. Also, will the meeting be in Turkish or English? Or both? I would suggest both, as I have seen members who don't speak any Turkish get turned off and scared away by meetings held entirely in Turkish.
You raise a very good point and I completely agree! E.g. My Turkish would not suffice to hold an entire conversation in Turkish as well. However, this meeting is, but a meet-up, to simply network, get to know other fellow designers, plan for the coming meet-ups and create a group of local like-minded professionals. I think at the time of the meeting we'll figure this problem out, as there is no way to say for sure this meeting will be 100% in English or Turkish.
On the other hand, if there's someone who's speaking both, and would be kind enough to translate one to the other, we all would really appreciate it!
Let's meet-up for the first time then we'll take it from there!
About the Meet-Up Place, do you have any place in mind near the shore for 10-12 people possibly?
If not, there's a Starbuck right across the shore, however I still suggest a cosier place with a more variant menu.
On that note, the reason I suggested Kuff Cafe is because it's like a middle point for all the public transport in Kadiköy, located at the beginning of Bahariye Cd. (right above the Bull Statue / Boğa Heykeli ) which is a convenient 10 minutes walk from Kadiköy Iskelesi (Metro/ Ferries) and also not too far from Metrobus (10-15 minutes walk also) - in case anyone's riding that.
Good choice of menu and relatively inexpensive prices.
Hi all! This meetup is going to be in Kadıköy, somewhere near moda (or nearby neighborhoods) but I wanted to leave the exact place open for discussion. Please feel free to write your suggestions here so before the due date we can fix a place.
Thanks!
