MEMORIES FROM OUR TRIP TO FINLAND
At the first I was really excited,everything was all different.
Everyone was friendly. I made great friendships that effected me a
lot. We saw old part of the city, took pictures and made a podcast
about it. Making a podcast was really exhausting. We went to a
winter sports area, the lake was frozen and we had so much fun on
the ice. We can not see this kind of weather in our country. It was
really hard to leave Finland, and I think I will go back there soon :)

Firstly, I have best friends anyway. I have already missed all of
them. Finland's food culture, their life styles and education system
are excellent. We learned old Finnish dances, some life-saving
techniques in Nautical school. We made ice-skating on Baltic Sea,
had sauna, ice swimming with my new friends. This was my best
experience I have ever had. Both my host friend and all other
Finnish students were very hospitable, kind. I have a lot of friends
from 7 different countries and I know this friendship will go on
forever…

Rauma,Helsinki... Maybe, because of the first
time I went to those places, this trip was
unforgettable. I don't know what answer is but I
really loved those cities and liked the way
people treat us. I had heard Finnish people
don’t like foreigners or are not friendly or not
funny or something else. But from the first
m o m e n t I a r r i v e d i n Fi n l a n d , I c l e a r l y
understood this was wrong! Because ever y
people I saw had high-level friendship, they are
very hospitable and helpful. We learnt a lot of
things about Finnish culture. People were tough
about the rules. About traffic lights, trashes,
being tidy.... I was fascinated how they were
keeping the rules. And I loved Finnish saunas!
You are getting in sauna, getting hot at around
40 degrees then running outside (outside is
around -15 degrees) and getting into the sea and
sea temparature is almost -4 degrees! When
they told me this, I just thought “this is crazy!”
but I had this crazy experience. The other best
thing was ice skating. The ice was qualified and
it was hard to fall when you were skating.

The last thing I want to talk about is our last
day. It was a good party at school, we had a lot
of fun, but it was also sad because the following
day we had to leave. We got used to each other
so it was hard to say goodbye. I still miss my
new friends from Finland and from other
partner countries. We shared a lot of thing
about our cultures from one another and shared
our new experiences.
This trip is one of the greatest memory and 5
best days in my life.

MEMORIES FROM OUR TRIP TO SPAIN
It was the first time for me to be in abroad. Before this experience,
I always wondered European life style, different cultures and
believes and how people they are. With the help of our Comenius
project, I can meet different friends from different countries. I
have never thought making friends like this. Imagine, before going
abroad, you don’t know who you will stay at or if you like same
things or not. Then you meet and stay at their home almost a
whole week. It is really different experience to stay at somenone’s
home who you have never known. But then you notice that you are
getting closer and share a lot of memories. Then you don’t want to
go back and say “Goodbye”. Both in Turkey and in Spain, we had a
lot of friends and memories that we will never forget. I hope I can
have a chance to meet again with my new friends I had.

This project taught me how we can have friends from different
cultures and countries. With my trip to Spain, I had new parents
and a family. I shared a lot of memories and I will never forget
them. I hope I have a chance to live this kind of experience in
3
future again. Thanks for every perfect seconds.(

When I was in Spain, we had a lot of great
times. That was really amazing. We made a lot
of activities. We had great friendship from
different countries. I think this project is
definitely useful to improve our English. We
went to swim, played beach volleyball, visited
historical places. We learnt some words in
different languages. We sang songs everywhere.
We were like rappers. We hanged out with our
close friends from Spain, Germany and Sweden.
By the way, I really liked the show which was
prepared by the students in Pasico Suena.
I will miss all my friends and my lovely rapper
so much. I want to thank all coordinators gave a
chance to us to live this unforgettable
experiences.

Firstly , I want to thank everyone giving us to
live this kind of experience. This project
changed my view to life. Especially , I improved
my English and I had a lot of friends from eight
different countries. Before my trip to Spain, I
had only one family but then I had my second
parents and a big family who loves me and cares
about me ...
During the days in Spian, we had a lot of fun,
sang songs, played different games, swam, learnt
new things from each other, observed new ways
of life, education system and cultural
differences. We noticed that we actually were
the same although we were from different
countries. We shared our dreams and secrets :)
I will miss all of them but I am not sad. Because
I know we can meet all of them some day
again...
