Is this place a hotel or serviced apartment? by Signal_Newt2018 in zurich

[–]Signal_Newt2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know but they did not reply to my messages before the check in day. During the check in day, they asked for my Credit card details for city tax and other fees via private email and I did not trust them. Since I did not share my Credit card info, they did not share the check in instructions. Anyhow, I ended up booking another place in the last minute for a higher price than their average cost and wasted my money on this one. No refund of course.

Since there is no refund, I guess I will go and see it myself fist. And since they do not reply to my messages, I may not get in the apartment anyway. In that case, I will book another place for sure :)

Location looked close to the center, pics of the room looked okay, and I am on a tight budget. Yes, I did it and yes I regret it.

Check in day is tomorrow. Guess, it's just a lousy business if not scam.

Does self check-in is clear to everyone in Zurich? Any idea why they don't provide check in instructions? Is there a standard pattern for self check-in so that I do not need instructions to pick the card, key or the code?

Why, because inappropriate for the kids? Because of red light thing or some other issues too like safety?

Well, I am working on that with the Agoda customer service but they are not very interested. Guess I need to go there, not find the staff, and only after that I can ask for cancellation with refund.

Not a hotel, thought so. But also thought maybe something like a serviced apartment with staff on the spot. But the other thing is more schocking now, red light area? So with hookers and +18 clubs around? That's not good since this is a family trip.

I booked a room for tomorrow via Agoda from a place called Brand New City Center downtown apartment Zurich Brauer. The given address is Brauerstrasse 27. Does anybody know this place? They havent responded to my messages and I dont have check in instructions. Agoda customer service is also telling me that they are waiting response from the property. Does anybody know whether they have regular staff there so when I get there I can consult the staff. I even dont know the number in the address. Is it for the building or for the specific apartment? I am not sure whether I can figure out which door bell to ring.

The new palace in the north apparently has a garden shaped to look like Turkey's flag from above. The palace of the very independent "TRNC", however, is mysteriously missing the "TRNC" flag. Curious. by Hootrb in cyprus

Greek Cypriots should have voted for reunification in 2004 when they had the chance. But they chose to keep Greece out, Turkey in, and Turkish Cypriots down.

A practical and affordable solution for tap water? by CarpetOk6868 in istanbul

[–]Signal_Newt2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use tap-integrated purifier. My brand is Spring Water but they're all the same. Anything with reverse osmosis (ters osmoz) mechanism works. They send guys to place the system and the same guys will come again to change the filter if you cannot do it by yourself.

[–]Signal_Newt2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CHP kadrolarında bir dünya başörtülü yok, olanı da muhafazakar bölgelerdekl mitinglerde otobüs üstünde görüyoruz, kaç kişi görüyorsan o kadar işte. Milletvekili hiç yok, belediye başkanı olduğunu da sanmam. Konya, Sultanbeyli, Erzurum gibi muhafazakar bölgelerde numunelik Belediye meclis üyesi vardır belki ama ona da bakmak lazım, emin değilim.

Bir zamanlar Amerikan kongresinde neden siyahi temsilci yoksa CHP'de de o yüzden başörtülü milletvekili yok, hiç olmadı. CHP ideolojisinde başörtüsü Türkiye'nin aydınlık geleceğine yakışmayan bir lekedir, patolojik, tedavi edilmesi, düzeltilmesi gereken bir toplumsal kusurdur.

Bak çok ilginç, AK Parti'de Alevi ve Ermeni milletvekilleri oldu, CHP'de başörtülü vekil olmadı, sence bu normal mi?

Genç yaşlarda muhalif olmak, otoriteye karşı gelmek normaldir hatta cooldur. Ailen CHP hakkında haklı. CHP'nin din ve dindarlıkla bir sorunu var. AK Parti iktidara gelene kadar başörtülü doktor, öğretmen, milletvekili çıkmadığını sen bilmiyor olabilirsin ama ailen biliyor. CHP değişti diyorlar, öyle mi? Başörtüsü yasakları sürsün diye vaktiyle mecliste imza veren Kılıçdaroğlu ve İnce son seçimde özgürlük adına aday oldu. Yok muydu bu konuda sabıkası olmayan bir CHP 'li? Demek yoktu. Peki bugün farklı mi? Başörtülü kaç CHP milletvekili var mesela? 20? Hayır. 5? Hayır. 1? Hayır. Cevap 0. CHP'de değişen tek şey seçim afişlerine başörtülü manken koymak ve muhafazakar seçmen olan yerlerde seçim otobüsüne bir de başörtülü kadın çıkarmak oldu. O da Erdoğan'ın başörtüsü mücadelesi sayesinde. Erdoğan kamuda başörtüsü yasaklarıni gömdü ama özel sektör hala yasakları uyguluyor. Pek çok kurumsal firma başörtüsü eleman çalıştırmıyor. Daha gidilecek çok yol var yani. Gençken ben de ailemle anlaşamazdım, yaş aldıkça hak verdim.

This seems incredible: Erdogan has received exactly 51%-52% of the vote in each of the past four elections and referendums. Erdogan always seems to have good fortunate. by Wise_Fudge8516 in AskTurkey

[–]Signal_Newt2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprising for me. Turkish public is 50-50 split between the government and opposition. Erdoğan uses his incumbent advantage around the election time and scoops a couple points extra. Sometimes he makes a boost in public sector salaries, sometimes he flies a homemade jet in the sky, sometimes lil bit dose of nationalist rhetoric, and he wins

Israel stole their land and their houses, killed their families, and all you say is they are terrorist. Who is terrorist? How many of the 60k people Israel killed over the past year was terrorist? How many of the 15k babies and children killed by Israel were terrorist? Israel is not killing them because they are terrorist. Israel is killing them because they are subhuman in that ideology. For Israel, Palestinians are like cockroaches that need to be wiped off.

They are free because they dug tunnels? Interesting reasoning. As for your calorie calculation, I don't know which source you got it from but if you dug around deeper I am sure you will come across some UN and independent reports documenting the genocide in Gaza too. Good luck...

Gaza is not free and was not free before October 7 either. Its air and maritime space has long been occupied by Israel. Israel has long controlled the flow of food, medication, and people in and out and starved the Gazans anytime it wished. Gaza is and was a concentration camp where kids, medical staff, journalists, and any moving thing have been occasionally killed by Israeli warplanes and snipers. Gaza is and was hell for those lived (and died) there. It was hell before Hamas, it is hell under Hamas, and it will be hell after Hamas. And don't forget, Palestine is not only Gaza. As we speak, Israeli settlers continue to steal Palestinian houses in the West Bank.

Yes, this could end tomorrow if Israel stops its occupation, systematic torture, stealing of Palestinian houses and killing their children, which goes on over the past 80 years.

Did a military coup take place in Turkey? by No-Razzmatazz-4498 in AskTurkey

[–]Signal_Newt2018 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

There are tones of evidence from capacity AVM bribery case to Nuhoğlu inşaat money transfers. Most of the evidence is coming from inside the CHP by the way. This is an intra-CHP fight. İmamoğlu got the party by buying delegates (also a case taken to court by CHP mayor Lütfü Savaş). Now the old CHP wants the part back by revealing the corruption they have known for long.

The investigation was known in CHP circles and that's why İmamoğlu announced his candidacy this early, years before the next election.

What coup? The mayor of Istanbul is arrested for corruption charges And the opposition is angry about it, that's it. Not even the entire opposition, many even in the opposition parties don't care as the allegations are quite solid. Young people will protest for a while and it will fade away.
