„We started our journey to the remote Turkey on 3rd October at 2 o’clock pm. The travel was tiring but we laughed a lot and the landscape was so beautiful that on Monday nobody could notice if we slept at night or not.
As we arrived, the Turkish students were already waiting for us at the entrance door of the school. It was great to see them.
The first day we hiked. It was nice but exhausting as well. We saw a lot of interesting plants.
On the second day we went to Istanbul where we could see a lot of nice and interesting things like the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace and the Ayasofya.
Next day we travelled to Yalova where we saw a very nice botanical garden and we could swim at the thermal pool, too. There everybody had a really great time.
The following day we took part in the Turkish lessons at school and we could get to know the Turkish way of teaching and learning. After school we had lunch and later came the programme that we, the Hungarian team waited for very much: we went to the Rákóczi Museum. This museum is important for us because it is Hungarian-related.
Then came the day that nobody waited for, I think: we had to leave Turkey.
It was very difficult to say good-bye because we became very good friends during this week. We all have really pleasant memories of this meeting.”
