Turkey
The trip from
Sweden to Turkey was the best trip I have done. It was an interesting trip
because I have learned much new things. There are a lot of new things that I have
learned during the trip that I previously had no idea about. It's been fun to
visit the historical sites and also the museum we were at.
This trip will
have many memories of all the fun things that we have done. All all fan
pictures we have takeed and when it came up a girl who ask to buy my
sunglasses.
This is one of all
the pictures I have taken. I thought it was very funny when they asked if they
could take a picture too tougher with me. That was for the first time I felt a
little bit famous.
This is an picture
that the bus driver wanted to take on me, I do not know why. He asked it on
Turkish so I did not understand what he meant first but then he show me what he
meant. I was quite scared but still thought it was a funny thing.
This is another
picture of a funny thing happened during the trip. It arrived a random man who
worked at the market and asked me if I could take a picture of him when he was
sitting there.
It has almost been
only positive things of the trip. There's somethings that have not been
so good. The one thing was that I've moved around so much, I could live with
three different families before we went home. But that was one positive thing
about it was because that I got to see how the different families all lived,
there were much difference between all the families I was with. So just that
has been an experience.
But this trip is really something I want to do again!!!!!!!!

I´ve had lots of
fun on the trip to Turkey. I´ve learned about new cultures, new languages and
i´ve gotten to know new people. I now know more about Turkey and how the people
there live their lives. They have a big food culture, when they eat they eat
small portions of a lot of different food and they are not afraid to try new
food.
I´ve also learned that
it's important how you dress yourself. It is not many people that put on shorts
or dresses etc like it is in sweden. I’am used to dress myself after what
weather it is, so when i come to a country that is very hot i put on shorts,
but the people there are not used to that.
The people from
Turkey love their country very much. You can see the turkish flag
everywhere and they know very much about their history and the one who
created Turkey. And they love to tell everyone about it and are very proud.
I lived with a
lovely girl called Beyza. She lived with me when everyone came to sweden. I
lived in a apartment with a beautiful view and it almost looked like a picture
from Greece.
So my trip to Turkey has been amazing. I´ve met so many nice and kind people and i have so many memories and pictures and i think it has been a amazing experience

That first thing I
want to say is that I have learned myself so many things like communicate with
people that not speaking swedish or english, how spoiled we are in Sweden and
how fun it can be to meet new people. I maybe not learned so much english that
I would hope for but but that things that I did learn is awesome because no one
can get things like this learned in school, like see how they live in their
weeks and not just see how the tourist places are.
My thoughts about
the journey is that I had very fun and the people in Turkey are very kind. The
days was sometimes little more boring than other but that is live I guess. I
liked when we students was together on the evenings and played games with each
other. One thing that I didn't like was when our schedule was changed and we
did other stuff to compare it.
Another thing that
I didn’t like so much was the long bus trips we did because the heat and the
days was ruined so we didn’t do so much after that. The weather was good but
little to much clouds on the sky.
Maybe that I like
most about Turkey is their food. I like their food because I like meat and the
fruits was so sweet and delicious.
‘
My home was very
good, I’ve got mine in room, they had nice toilets and a comfortable house just
to be in. Where I lived compared to other it was pretty good.
I think this
journey is worth the time to do stuff like write and so on and it’s really
worth the experience that you will get from this. I don’t regret anything from
this trip.
I didn’t take so
much pictures so I leave that to the other students.
That was my
thoughts about this journey.

My experience in
Turkey was very fun, and if I had the chance I would do it all over again. I
learned a lot during my week in Turkey, such as how a Turkish school looked
like. It was very different compared to mine, but then every school isn’t alike.
The school in Turkey was just one building, compared to mine, it has several
buildings so sometimes you have to go outside to go to another lesson. The
nature was also a bit different, there were a lot of stray dogs and cats on the
streets. Something I also learned that was different from Sweden is that they
didn’t wear seatbelts while in the car. Because in Sweden there is a law that
says you have to wear seatbelt.
I also learned
that the people there were different levels of religious. Not everyone were
very religious and some were.
Some good things
about the trip is that you meet new people from other countries, which is
really cool. You learn to be more independent and also how to be more social, which
is important on a trip like this. You also learn more about another countries
traditions.
Some bad stuff
that happened in Turkey was that the principal didn’t want all of us to hangout
on the evenings, because he didn’t want boys and girls to be around each other
without any grown up watching. Probably so that any
inappropriate stuff wouldn’t happen.
