Comenius

The first thing we’d like to say is that this trip was a good thing for all of us, we had wonderful relationships with our different penfriends and their families and friends. This experience has allowed us to have another vision of Turkey, nicer and warmer than what we usually see on TV news.
One week before leaving and going to Turkey, we  were really afraid of how we would be welcomed by our penfriends and their families, how they would be when we would be in their flats.

 Even if we had spoken to  them on facebook, and created connections, we were still nervous about other people. Some of us wrote all our feelings in our travel books during the trip.  Everything was easier when we arrived and met them: all the families and penfriends were waiting for us in Buyukcekmece. We spent the whole week with them: We visited the city, the big bazar and ate in a typical Turkish restaurant. We took some photos and practised sports with teachers, this was really pleasant and funny. In the afternoons we visited monuments, factories, went on horse riding. This was so great and we visited the old Istanbul too and even a mosque. In fact, in only one week we visited wonderful places and met wonderful people. We tasted all meals which were typical Turkish meals,  some of them had bad taste but others were really good.

In a nustshell this week was filled with happiness and amazing encounters, and we discovered a country  we didn’t know anything about ; besides, now, we know some words in Turkish.
