We had a great trip to Turkey. Although it was rainy weather in Istanbul, we visited Hagia Sophia, called as Aya Sofia. It was a little bit disappointment for us, because half a building was under renovation. Blue Mosque, called as Sultanahmet camii, we saw just outside, because there was so long queue waiting for entry.

Afyonkarahisar offered a lot of experience and the hosts were very friendly. We were taken many kind of places, for example: to one of the local mosque. We visited to marble shop, where we saw very beautiful things made of marble. Now I know that Marble is (marmori) and it is written with r, and maple is (vaahtera) writing with p and without r. The Governor recommended to us by a spa visit in a local fancy spa. After that we go to a restaurant, which was really huge. The next evening we ate dinner at a place, which is the largest restaurant that I have ever visited.

One of the host guided me to the post office and back to hotel. He was a Turkish English interpreter, and his working day was finished, he still helped me.

The weather was so wonderful. The sun was shining and it was so warm like in summer.

I can’t say anything, but it was a fascinating journey.

I really hope you see those pictures, how interesting our journey was.
We'll see next Wednesday.

I’m very pleased you like our presentation. You have so nice pictures about Finland, it was easy to collect those modest presentation. I hope it will do for ( to) our teachers too.

Travel fever begins to rise, while looking at pictures of of Istanbul. I studied the map of Istanbul and I noticed that Hagia Sofia and Grand Bazaar situate very close to our hotel. I wish that I have good luck to visit them. We’ll see it quite soon.

I chose a few video clip for a workshop. They should have been shortened a bit and cut out unnecessary, but I could not do it with Movie maker.

Perhaps I’ll get some good advice next Wednesday.  


Hagia Sophia is an amazing building, isn't it.

We'll see soon.
