Last week I did all activities, and cannot say that there is something special, but I get used to my activities here. In order to have some new impressions and new information I decided to do hitchhiking with other volunteers in Gaziantep. That was my first experience in it. On Saturday three of us (all Ukrainians) went to Şanlıurfa, no one except me talked in Turkish, so it was really hard to communicate with drivers and always translate to others, I felt myself as at work but not at a holiday. Still those guys didn't appreciate that. If you do hitchhiking you should be sure that you need time for waiting who could stop the car and pick you. Traveling from Gaziantep to Şanlıurfa took us 4 hours for 200 km, and we changed four cars. The most important thing is which company you have, if they are your good friends, you would probably enjoy your time. I really enjoyed my time in the city, because I saw historical places, among which is a holy place for muslims – the legendary Poo...

Time flies so fast that it is really hard to realize. I'm staying here in Gaziantep already two and a half months, and the same period of time I will finish the project here. From one hand it is all routine and from the other there are so many activities. So day by day I go to the kindergarten and realize that I love those kids so much, and I don't event want to think about the end of the project, but it comes. I do cooper work and I described it on my previous blogs what I feel, when I'm doing it. In this blog, maybe I could say about my activities, which are not connected to the project. So, when I arrived here, in some time my mentor has invited me to attend local Drama Course, which was run within the framework of project – local one. And I accepted the invitation, from that time I visited probably 5 lessons and it was enough for me to learn new things, new games and interaction will people. I have acquainted with many new people, they are so interesting and nice, ...

Now this is beginning of summer, which means holidays for most of the people around. People whom I already know will leave on their trips and business, students, whom I know will leave soon for new adventures or their homes. And children from the kindergarten. Most of them have already left it, and now there are only several children and new ones. I just realized that I will miss those kids so much! I spent with them two months and this period was enough for me to fell in love with them. The kindergarten became more or less quite, there is no much noise as it was before. And I will continue my activities with new kids there. I feel alone here, and I don't know why. I don't want to come back my flat early, because there is no one whom you could talk to and my refrigerator is empty every time. I understand those people who live alone and do not keep anything in the refrigerator or they do not cook, because usually you're not home, you have meals outside, and if you cook s...
