From the selection: Seoul, although I have no particular affinity to Korea. Istanbul might be o.k. more or less currnetly, but has to high probability to turn to the worse. The rest are nightmarish.
Where would u rather live: Istanbul, Seoul, Delhi/Bombay, Cairo, Rio de Janeiro

No, it was ok until 2016. It was actually at its peak in 2008-2015. I remember when I started college, everything was ok-ish. Then coup stuff, Erdo getting more aggressive and bombs… All downhill from there, like the happiness of people significantly dropped.
When Erdogan’s party first came to power, they did a lot of pro Europe reforms - abiding with Copenhagen criteria. So actually I would say pre authoritarian Akp (Erdogan party) coincide with good and high growth years of Tr

In the past I would have said Istanbu hands down. Turkey was secular, populated by Turks. Turkey is still beautiful especially if you have 4 to 5 thousand dollars of passive income but İstanbul is screwed. There are millions of Syrians, Iranians, Afghans, Uzbeks, Libyans, Iraqis etc. For us Turks the city is gone. There are few well to do neighborhoods where it still feels like the old Turkey.
I recommend the Aegean and the Mediterranean coasts of Turkey. It is still Turkish, secular and nice.
