it's amazing to see how the structures of the buildings there are soo aged and yet seems to be able to hold it's inner contents up until now. I wasn't looking forward to going there at first, but because of a few reasons i had to. I didn't even feel the excitement of able to be going to such a foreign place for the first time, at the age of 16--i am 17 now--and even, for free. But too bad my mind was too clouded with emotions and the longing to be back home with my mom and dad and brothers. My father allowed me to go, of course seeing it as a good chance for me. Unfortunately i felt nothing at that moment, the moment when i called him to tell that i'd be going for turkey, the moment when i had to meet bonda and explain it to her, nd the moment when i leave the school while everyone watched as going back home is everyone's desire.
By now i had realized how blessed i was to go to such a wonderful place, to experience things while im 16 and to be chosen by my teacher, earning her trust. i will always miss Istanbul, and the beautiful people and buildings it holds. xx
