Kirsty there is bound to a small amount of hassle obtaining the visa etc. when you get here, happens to everyone in some way or other, but stick with it, because believe me it is worth the petty hassle, and I am sure you'll enjoy your six months enormously. Use the advice in the forum on visas so you get any idea of what to do, plus the other volumes of good advice available on the forum, and if you are not sure then ask, people on the forum are very very helpful when it comes to coming to Turkey, and what to do when you are here. Good luck with everything.
