Love from Turkey

This is me, Doga.
This is me, Doga.

Hello my friends I am Doga from Turkey. First of all you should know you have a home, a family and close friends in Turkey with this Project. I am very excited about my travel to Sweden. I love this idea; I am going to go to a far country which has got a very different and important culture. Actually a Turkish writer -who lives in Sweden-, writes about Sweden and I have read her. It is good for me; I know something about you and your country thanks to her. Her articles help me learn about your lifestyle, traditions, political and social life. I haven't been abroad before and Sweden trip is going to be the first experience for me. I think I am lucky because I have learned a lot of good things about you.

Maybe I should talk about myself. I think you can see my picture. I am tall and I have dark skin. I live with my family. I want to study about International Relations at university because I want to see everywhere in the world. I want to meet lots of new people who have got different cultures. Our project is really good and a big chance for me and I think it is not just for me, for us, for future of the Europe.

Our project is not just about seeing new places. We will learn about your culture, your lifestyle and how the differences affect our lives or our characters and we will learn that we have a lot of things to teach ourselves. This project teaches us we can live together, in peace. And everybody deserves living equally, freely, democratically and in prosperity and this is what EU intends. If this project and European's contact works, EU's basic ideas are going to be completed. With contact, some fanatical ideas just like racialism and distinction are going to be destroyed and then we will reach Europe which we imagined. Our project is also about solidarity, we are trying to protect our history altogether. If we can work together, we will learn each other very well.

Before I took part in the project team, I hadn't known a lot of about Sweden. I knew some words: Stockholm, cold, Swedish meatball, match and Scandinavia. But now,

I know a lot about you and your country. I think I am going to learn more; with your, my friends' help. I can't wait to be with you. I want to be in Sweden, see your historical and cultural places, go for long walks in Stockholm streets, learn something about casual life and take a lot of photos. And then the next meeting is going to be in Turkey. We would like to welcome you in our country, with our traditional hospitality.

I am looking forward to meeting you all. Love, from Turkey.
