some Turkey shops & markets accepts MIR cards, so you can try to issue instant one in your bank

you're lucky you managed to get a ticket. try to get as much cash as possible..

Bitcoin? Gold? I don't know what the Turkish market is like.

Please don't do this here. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but it is a brutal response. We need to treat each other better than this.

Empathy for one doesn't negate empathy for others, including others who may be in lesser straits but are still suffering. Those of us sitting in comfort and safety right now are particularly in no position to demean anyone who is not. I'm not saying that about you (I don't know your situation, of course), but there are a lot of internet commenters doing exactly that right now, and it's not ok here. It's also deeply counterproductive to what they presumably want to achieve.
