Merhaba from turkey. So manythings to share and update but so little time (so do excuse my bad grammar and run-on sentences) I'm loving it here. Not because it is far away and not because the school and living quarters are amazing, but because its Turkey and because it is so different. Bilkent U is seriously a crazy crazy school. Everything looks new here and everyone is soo hospitable. Our student hosts have been taking us around to different restaurants, different stores, getting our little errands done. They've been amazing and so helpful. I'm loving meeting international students. I've met people from Germany, Iceland, Finland, Ecuador, Iran, Afghanistan, Northern Africa, Polland, Holland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, different parts of America, Armenia, Austria, and more. It's awesome to meet people from such different backgrounds. I'm trying my best to soak it all in. Today is my third day in the Intensive Turkish course. Our teacher is a great instructor. Whenever we say a word right, she repeatedly commends us with "bravo bravo" or "evet evet" (yes yes). Everything here is sooooooooo clean, but then again Ankara is the capital of the country. The food is great!! I've been regular. :) The campus is HUGE. I'm real glad that I'm here. Everyone should come here!! :) until next time, gurusuruz!! |
