I need ideas (as to what to do for 2 months).

Long story short, company sent me to an international assignment for 2 months. new city, new life. i am staying in a hotel for 2 months and i don't know anyone here. people at work are not that interesting and are usually busy with their families and stuff. now i have 2 months of boredom after work and i need a hobby or something. i thought of signing up for a dance course to learn salsa or tango or something but couldn't find one that fits my schedule. i get to my hotel around 8:30 - 9pm : (

So, any ideas? I have been here for 5 days already and reading Tolstoy has been my only activity so far.

Help? Thanks.

    Penny Arcade is a gaming comic, this is the PA forums, you probably play games. Do you have a computer capable of gaming, or possibly a console? Playing online with people back home might be a nice way to stay in touch and give you a little bit of home.

    Would you mind sharing the location? Then we could give you some location-specific advice.

    Well I don't have a personal laptop, have a company laptop which I cannot install games on. I also don't want to spend time gaming... I would rather find something else to do, that will keep me out of my hotel room :)

    Yes, it is in Ankara (and I am Turkish too but have never lived in Ankara and have no friends here).

    Actually I windsurf, so that's not a bad idea but I am not sure how feasible that is considering I get to my hotel at 9pm and have to be back at work at 9am the following morning :P

    Ah, I'd figured you had weekends off. I was more thinking of a weekend getaway to 'rejuvenate' you for the next week.
