to waste any minute of this Third day; we set out for Denizli.
But on the way to Denizli,
Teacher Isa was planning to
show us many other interesting
sites; Erciyes mountain, Fairy
Chimneys, etc. And we did see
all those extraordinary places...
Erciyes was just breathtaking.
There was snow up on the
mountains. We were all determined to go and play with it, but
only 3 of us got there along with

Then our drives warned us that
we should move faster because
we couldn't just leave the place.
Then we headed towards Denizli
where Teacher Isa's uncle was
going to meet us. He did so at
02.00 am. We slept at his family
house during three days. He was
such a nice man. He did
everything for our convenience.
“In Denizli, there are many
exciting activities waiting for us,”
said Teacher Isa.
F o u r t h d a y, f i r s t i n D e n i z l i
though; we woke up to a big
breakfast. After the breakfast, we
went to a big shopping mall
where we played bowling and
other fun games, did some
shopping and check mobile
phone prizes. Well, Turkey
seemed a kind of expensive
country with very high standards... It was!!! After lunch at a
private school, we headed to
Pamukkale, The Cotton Castle,
another miracle in Turkey. We
observed many ancient relics of
Roman Empire around
Pamukkale. We rode some
camels there, had some homem a d e t r a d i t i o n a l Tu r k i s h
pancakes, GOZLEME. Then it
was time to buy some souvenirs
for our parents. That night, we
castle, the other trying to
conquer... An expensive sport,
though. We were all out of
energy, so we looked forward to
eating our lunch. It wasn't easy
because we had to ride the
horses in the horse raising farm
while Teacher Isa's brother was
preparing the barbeque for us.
We were all laughing to death
when the horse kidnapped
Rosa!!! Just like in movies, you
should have seen that scene.
Fortunately, it wasn't serious.
Close to that farm was a place
where we could eat real snow
with cherry flavour. We were
planning to go to one of those
huge Aqua Parks in Denizli, but
we had to leave that evening,
therefore we drove to the airport
after getting all our luggages
from Teacher Isa's uncle's house
and saying 'a million thanks' for
all they did for us. On the way to
the airport we visited an
underground cave, KAKLIK
MAGARASI, which looked
exactly like Pamukkale. The
water was springing from the
ground... Well, you can't imagine
the smell! Just like spoilt egg, but
thousands of the at one place...
Anyways, when we got to the
airport, Teacher Isa uncle who is
an Turkish Airlines personnel
was waiting for us. We took some
pictures around the aeroplane

museum was a very wealthy man
and it was his own collection
actually. It was already dinner
time. Teacher Isa's friend made
us a special kind of Turkish food,
Maklube. It is mainly rice with
beef and potatoes, but the thing
is how it was made and how you
eat it. The name of the food itself
means “turned upside down”. As
you can guess from the name,
the rice, potatoes and beef are
put one layer from each. Then it
is cooked and turned upside
down on a large tray. It stays
exact shape of the pot. Around it,
you put some salad and yoghurt.
Everyone enjoys the joy of
sharing the food from the same
tray. We all loved it!!! We wanted
to do some more shopping
although we were all tired. We
went out and bought some fruits
and other stuff for our parents.
We had that great sweet, the
unforgettable Turkish delight,
BAKLAVA, too. We went to bed
late again!
Continued from page 2
Teacher Isa's friend met us with a
luxurious van, like all the other
vans we travelled throughout the
trip. We went to our accommodation which was a very deluxe and
comfortable student dormitory.
Teacher Isa told us it was one of
the best dorms there... You must
just see it! It was 11.00 pm. We
were all hungry. We couldn't
cook in the dorm, so what could
we do? Order KEBAPs, of
course! We did so! hot and spicy
Adana Kebaps, Lahmacuns,
Ayrans and so on... We had a
deep sleep that night.
Next morning, we were invited to
Teacher Isa's aunt's house for
breakfast. It took us about 2
hours to get there in Istanbul
because it is such a big city. But it
was really worth as we had a
great opportunity to see the
Bosphorus from the hills of
Beykoz and Anadolu Kavagi. We
saw where Marmara Sea and
The Black Sea joins. The
beautiful scenery with the blue
sea, green hills and the seagulls
was just indescribable. Later, we
visited STV, the most watched
T V C h a n n e l i n Tu r k e y. We
observed some live studios, we
met some presenters and
directors of the TV channel. One
of the directors was Teacher Isa's
friend. He took us to his favourite
restaurant on top of the highest
hill of Istanbul where you can
enjoy the extraordinary view of
the city
Then we went to MiniaTurk to
see the small models of all
landscapes around the country.
Amazed there, we were even
more amazed to see Koc
Museum. We saw every kind of
transportation, including
helicopters, submarines, planes,
ships and all types of classic
model cars. The owner of the
Eighth and ninth days; there
were too many things to do in
Istanbul. We had to pick only the
most important ones. Like
Topkapi museum, where we
learnt much about Ottoman
State, their wealth and power, we
watched their military orchestra
music before they go to war, etc.
We visited the Blue Mosque,
such an amazing piece of art and
architecture. Later, we had a lot
of fun eating BALIK-EKMEK (fish
and bread) on the coasts of
Bosphorus and watching the
seagulls soaring above us. We
took a boat tour around the
Bosphorus. The feeling of
inhaling the air there was just
impossible to describe. The next
day was our last day in this
dream city. We went shopping,
played some snooker… Then it
was time to return to our
dormitory already. Time to pack
up! We were all happy and sad!
Because we loved it so much and
because we just loved it too
much! We didn't want to leave.
We said to Teacher Isa: “Why
don't you lose our passports, so
we don't have to go back!”
Finally, we were at the airport.
We met with all other groups
there with Mr. Murat Tutumlu in
charge of chaperoning us all the
way back to Cambodia. Everyone looked so happy, in high
spirit.

Stadium and Shop. When I
visited the shop, I could understand the reason that people
consider Fenerbahce team is a
republic.
After mentioning about Istanbul,
Bursa has come into my mind.
We had to travel by ferry in order
to reach Bursa. On the ferry, it
was very beautiful scenery
surrounding us. Bursa was like a
very developed province in
Turkey. There were a lot of
buildings surrounded by many
green trees.

WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!
All our teachers were tired and
stressed because they did really
their best to take good care of us
during the holiday. And after all it
was all voluntary work; yet they
were all successful because we
all LOVE Turkey and Turkish
people now! Just one example
for why we love them: we went to
stay in their houses, they even
bought gifts to say “thanks for
visiting and staying with us”.
Well, what else can we say???

On the 2nd, July, 2008 I and
some other students come from
either the same or different
classes were getting ready to fly
t o Tu r k e y f o r o u r s u m m e r
vacation. This was the longest
and most memorable vacation I
have ever had. This summer
vacation was a 10-days trip.
When I first arrived in Istanbul, I
was very shocked to see high
buildings and smooth highways.
I used to imagine that Istanbul is
a beautiful city and in the jiffy,
Istanbul was much more
exquisite. I liked Istanbul
because there were a lot of
friendly people and it was a very
cultural place. The first day of our
trip, I had some problems with
some Turkish dishes. However, I
started to get used to it and to
love it more and more as I have
tasted many types of food. In
Istanbul, I visited many shopping
places and bought some
souvenirs. The place that I like
the most is The Fenerbahce
Shop and restaurants were
everywhere. I visited some
amusement parks and experienced cable cars. The food in
Bursa was palatable. I not only
like the food but also like many
kinds of fruits in Turkey. The fruits
that I like the most were cherries
and berries. They were sweet
and tasty. I also had a chance to
climb and find the cherries to eat
by my own. At night, there were
gusts of cold wind blowing all the
tiredness from my body. This was
the reason that I liked the
weather in Turkey a lot. Sometimes I had a chance to go and
have meals on a mountain or a
hill. With a beautiful weather and
well-cooked food, the time was
unforgettable.
After spending a few days in
Bursa, we had to continue our
journey to Ankara. Ankara, which
is a capital city of Turkey, was
very jam-packed. Our bus was
stuck in the traffic a few times but
it was not a matter because on
the bus, I had a lot of fun with
friends and teachers.

In Ankara, I visited some
historical places and I also went
to some game shops. Historical
places in Ankara were welldesigned. I could not imagine
how people could decorate such
things.
Overall, this summer vacation
gave me a lot of fun and experience. With the journey I have
completed, I think that Turkey is a
very glorious country with wellknown culture. From one place to
another, there are different types
of food, living styles and
traditions.

After we arrived at Istanbul, we
took a direct flight to Trabzon,
another city in Turkey. We spent
about 2 hours flying from Istanbul
to Trabzon. We were very scared
as the plane was landing at
Trabzon airport. Looking through
the plane windows we could see
the water, which is very close to
the runway. The planes almost
overshot the runway and ran into

Good morning… Second day in
Turkey, in Trabzon city. We left
the hostel and caught a bus to
the mountain. It is the biggest
mountain in Trabzon. On the bus
we enjoyed the beauty of the
view all along the road to the
mountain very much, while
singing Turkish traditional songs.
It took us about 40 minutes to
climb to the top of the mountain.
There is a very imposing ancient
house on the top of the mountain.

his friend’s house it was a very
nice breakfast and relaxing at his
house. We prepared to go up
through to the snowy mountain!
The weather in Kayseri was not
too cold and not too hot. We had
ridden 2 cars to go to the
mountain while we were on the
way suddenly one car had a
problem cause there was a lot of
smoke from the hood so we
stopped and checked the
problem we found the car was
too small and didn’t have enough

But luckily we could continue
during this way there was a lot of

so fresh we liked Kayseri so
much. At last we arrived the
mountain but not on top of the
mountain we had to go up by
cable car and walking for 1:30
hours while we were on cable car
it was very cold maybe 5 or 10
degrees we had to wear a big
jacket to keep warm! The hard
thing one was we had to walk
maybe 4km to touch the snow
our classmates were very tired
but this thing could not stop us
and our feelings we just wanted
to touch the snow. Finally we
saw the snow and stayed and
played snowball there for 1 hour.
In the afternoon we did not eat
anything so we were so hungry
after we finished having a
wonderful time on this mountain
we came back to city and he took
us to the dormitory to eat dinner
there. Turkish food was so hard
to eat but we also tried to taste
some were really nice and
wonderful but for some our friend
they could not eat. For Kayseri
city it was an awesome city it was
a quite city and small if we
compare to Istanbul and Ankara.
We all wanted to say thanks to
our home room teacher Mr.
Kemal … and say thanks to the
guy that took us to visit Kayseri.
The day in Kayseri we had
finished unlucky we did not sleep
well in Kayseri but we hoped to
come back and wished to be one
more time in Turkey. At 8:00pm
we got back to Kayseri bus
station to continue to Bolo city…
about this amazing city, may I
apologize for unknown place
name. We went to BOLU after a
very happy trip in KAYSERI for a
whole day. After spending a night
on the bus, we arrived at BOLU in
the early morning. The temperature in the bus and outside was
completely different. So, there
was a surprise for us because
there was smoke coming from
our mouth when we spoke. We
waited for the host to pick us up.
After a moment, he came and
took us to a place to stay, the
hostel. We rested there for 2
hours before the departure to

atmosphere of trees. We had
breakfast there in a cold weather.
Cheese, bread, sausages,
yoghurt, olives, honey and
chocolate were all included in our
breakfast. After we finished our

HISTORY
THE PCHUM BEN DAY
The fifteenth day, of the tenth
month, of the Khmer calendar
marks the Pchum Ben festival.
This is a time when the spirits of
the dead ancestors walk the
Earth. And the living can ease
their suffering by offering them
food to eat.
At four in the morning, nearly all
of the residents of Phnom Penh
gather at the temple with
offerings of special rice, which
they toss on the ground, feeding
the dead ancestors.
Many of the people throw sticky
rice, which, apparently is easier
for the spirits to consume.
According to Buddhist beliefs,
the lives that we live, after death,
are predicated by the actions that
we took when we were living.
Minor infractions would be
punished with small punishments, such as being an
unattractive ghost or having a
small mouth. With a small mouth,
it is hard to eat. Other, more
severe, punishments could
include being crippled or having
no mouth at all.
At 8:00 AM, people return to the
temple, with offerings for the
monks. We don't just give food;
we bring money and other things
as well. As a monk we looked
forward to this period all year
long, because we could get new
clothing and good food.
At 10:00 the people return with
more food, which will be shared

People who say the Olympics are about individual athletes and not about nations tend to live, we bet, in big countries that regularly win a lot
of medals. It'd be useful for them (and for all of us) to be reminded of just how much joy an Olympic gold medal can bring to an entire nation.

"These five rings -- blue, yellow,

the five parts of the world now
encompassed by Olympism and

thus combined represent those

image of Olympics, Coubertin
thought the rings had deep
significance: that of the union
between men. He multiplied the
image to create a total of five
rings. He designed and
commissioned the Olympic flag
to mark the 20th anniversary of
the IOC's founding, on 23rd June
1914 in Paris. Coubertin never
said nor wrote that he saw a link
between the colors of the rings
and the continents. For him, the
five rings represented the union
of the five continents, but the
colors were merely those that
appeared in all the different
national flags at the time.

It's me, Everybody, your Lungs
It's me, Everybody, your Lungs
First, lean back and let me
expand, so that I can take in
more air. The more air I take in,
the easier your brain works and
the better you'll understand what
I'm telling you. Irrelevant? Not at
all Peter! Every organ in your
body has relevance to everything, to the entire cosmos. Your
brain needs sugar to work, and
you need oxygen in order to burn
this sugar and provide your
neurons with energy. As I happen
to be the organ that takes oxygen
from the air and helps it to be
transferred into your blood, I will
tell you about myself. As a matter
of fact, talking about oneself is
usually a sign of being selfconceited, but my case is rather
different; I actually wish to make
you reflect on how perfectly I've
been created.
I am placed inside your chest
cavity as two air sacks—or
bellow—surrounded by your
muscles. I took my first breath
right after birth and I still keep
working non-stop. Even while
you are sleeping, I fulfill my
function with the automatic
command I receive from the
respiratory center at the back of
your brain. My close friend Heart
started working even before me
while you were in the womb. I
was resting then; actually I hadn't
even formed fully. As all your
needs like food and oxygen were
met in the body of your
mother—whose heart you
occasionally break—I didn't
have to make extra effort to get
air, being filled and emptied.
Even if I had attempted to do so, I
would have had no chance of
succeeding; since you were
contained in the amniotic fluid,
an attempt to breathe could have
caused you to drown.
The first breath I take after birth is
critical and rather difficult, since
the windpipe is still much
narrower than normal. On the
other hand, the number of my
alveoli where oxygen exchange
with the capillaries is realized is
so high in relation to body size
that it balances the situation.
When I make my first move and
fill with air, I put pressure on the
arteries and veins. Then the
vessel directly connecting my
artery to my mother's aorta is
dismissed, the curtain between
the valves is closed and the
blood circulations are separated.
If this curtain is not properly
closed and a gap remains in
between, the oxygen-rich blood
and the used-up blood mix and
result in the disease known as
cyanosis—or “blue baby”
syndrome. As these two kinds of
blood mix, the tissues are not
supplied with sufficient oxygen
and the white parts of the skin
and eyes assume a bluish
appearance.

this sweeper work throughout

get rid of the outcome of their
propulsion by clearing your
throat. However, every draw of a
smoker kills 800–1,000 of our
ciliated epithelial cells. After
some time, they become unable
to sweep the toxins (carbon,
sulfur, lead, etc) inhaled with the
air. I can't stand it anymore! The
increased air pollution is already
putting enough strain on us…
this habit is just too much for a
lung to handle! It is just… an
open invitation for cancer! Sorry,
Turning blue-purple due to lack
of oxygen in the tissues is the
s a m e f o r s m o k e r s . C i g arettes—my archenemy—contain
hundreds of toxic substances,
such as carbon monoxide, which
combine with the hemoglobin in
blood and prevent oxygen
transfer. Therefore, the lips of
smokers turn slightly purple. You
need to be careful with the air you
inhale. The windpipe which
brings air into me is covered with
a ciliated epithelial tissue which
catches the dust brought along
and sweeps it outside. While you
Peter, I didn't mean to be rude. I
appreciate that you don't smoke,
but I wish those who do would
realize how splendid a mechanism they are destroying.
Now let me tell you about what a
work of art I am. As you also
know, art in a structure becomes
more meaningful with functionality. As is the case with my other
friends with which I work in your
body, I am perfectly made to fulfill
my duty. In other words, never
mind forming an organ like me as
a consequence of molecules and
cells accidentally coming
together, even a single protein
molecule in my structure does
not come to existence through
unconscious causes.
With every breath you take, the
pressure of the oxygen within the
air inhaled rises, so it passes
through my membranes by
diffusion and into the adjacent
capillaries; there it combines with
hemoglobin molecules. At the
same time, the carbon dioxide
passes through the same
membranes into me, and I
dispose of it. Both of these are
easier said than done! You

unaware of most of the time; first
of all I need to be very flexible.
Together with this flexibility, my
most important quality is having
the largest possible surface area
within the smallest volume. My
surface area of around 100m2
(as large as a tennis court) is
made to fit into your chest cavity
in the form of thin membranes so
that my large surface allows gas
diffusion.

HEALTH
Continued from page 15
These membranes need to be
kept wet; a special fluid is
secreted as a precaution and
respiration is realized smoothly.
Without this fluid, my membranes would just stick together,
unable to carry out their duty.
You can compare the course of
the air inhaled to that of a car
passing from a highway onto
increasingly smaller roads and in
the end reaching a dead end in
the small sacks named alveoli.
The air coming in through the
mouth and nose unites at the
expressway named the trachea,
or the windpipe, which is 15cm
long and 2–3cm in diameter.
Incidentally, I have a couple of
things to tell you about the way
you breathe. As a matter of fact,
inhaling is the duty of the nose.
I'm sure it also has a lot to say as
well, but let me just mention a
simple fact about it. Now, you
should inhale through your nose,
so that the air you take in gets
warm, wet, and is cleaned from
dust. If you try to breathe this
way, you do not trouble me
much, and reduce the risk of
catching a cold or an infection of
upper respiratory system.
Inhaling through the mouth helps
dust and germs get into me and
you might contract various
illnesses from bronchitis to
pneumonia. Now you know why
kids who have adenoids who
sleep with their mouth open get ill
so easily. Sorry, I couldn't help
speaking on behalf on the nose.
Well, what were we talking about
before that? Oh yes! The ways
through which the inhaled air
passes. As the name suggests,
the windpipe which makes the air
reach me is a cylindrical tube
surrounded by 16–20 cartilaginous rings. As it is placed beside
the esophagus, one side of the
rings is made of soft cartilaginous tissue instead of hard, so
that they don't hinder swallowing. The muscular tissue near
these rings helps them widen
and narrow during respiration or
coughing. I sometimes warn you
by making you cough. Maybe it
seems to be a disturbance, but if I
don't push out air by coughing
through the contracted windpipe,
contaminants can clog me up
and cause you to suffocate.
Therefore, the burst of air—what
you call a cough—is a great
blessing to you.
The sound system at the tip of
the windpipe is another wonder.
The used air I send out vibrates
the cords in that voice-box and
produces such melodies, gives
voice to such speech! The air
divides into the two lungs. My two
sides are not symmetrical; the
one on the right is divided into
three, and the one on the left into
two. I think this was meant to
make room for the neighbor on
the left, the heart. In addition, if
there's any cancer growth in me,
the diseased part can be taken
out by an operation and I can
keep on functioning. God knows
the wisdom behind this form.
After that, these main bronchi
separate into 8–10 thinner
branches, like highways
connecting to narrower roads.
This branching resembles a tree
turned upside down. At the tips of
these thin branches are the
respiratory bronchioles resembling clusters of grapes. The
small spheres which make up the
cluster are the end of the road
and are the most vital parts.
These spheres named alveoli
are made of very thin membrane
and they are surrounded by a net GROUP A
of capillaries.
