This blog entry will be dedicated to me, maybe to my birthday.
Last week was full of emotions because of unexpected greetings and celebration of my birthday. It was very interesting and surprising for me - celebration of my birthday starts before two days of my actual birthday, which is 6 of July.
First of all my colleagues and children from Yapa Kindergarten surprised me so much, that I wanted to cry. I want to thank the manager of kindergarten and a great person Fatma Kuday, who organized everything and told others about my upcoming birthday! That was really unexpected and very surprising! When I entered the room and all colleagues and children started to sing a "Happy birthday" song in Turkish language with a cake and candles on it, I was almost crying there because of happiness! I made a wish and puffed the candles out. And I received a lovely Puzzle-present of "Kız Külesi" from them.
Then it wasn't all. Before me and my friends were invited for "Iftar" (Dinner after the fasting day during Ramadan) to one of my local friends Rauf's house and his family.
Everything was really good we were enjoying delicious food. In the end of the dinner when it was a tea time, another Birthday cake appeared with candles. So, I was totally killed by the surprises :)))
Again I made a wish and puffed the candles out!
The actual day of my birthday was quiet and I didn't do much things. But before I was planning to go somewhere to the seaside, and as far as many volunteers left Gaziantep on Thursday I didn't join them. I usually travel with them.
In the evening my mentors organized another present for me – we gathered with all friends together and spent a very good time.
Thank you so much for the great presents you made for me! I love you so much!
And about my healthy lifestyle.
I discovered here in Gaziantep a great place for swimming. It is at the University of Gaziantep territory, and the complex includes swimming pool, fitness room, sauna and a wall for climbing.
The swimming pool is very big and made according to the Olympic standards. It has 7 tracks for adults and one for children.
The schedule is very comfortable, it works until 8:00 p.m. on the weekdays and until 4 p.m. on weekends. There are separated days for women and other days for everybody.
If a woman goes to th mixed day and hours, there is a track just for women. Everything is quiet comfortable and it is not expensive. For students – 5 liras, for regular people – 7 liras per day.
So, if you go there early, you can stay there whole day, but for me there is no need to do so, because I prefer to train maximum for an hour. But some people just go there with their friends, staying in the water and talk to each other. This is not an option for me for sure.
Stay tuned.
P.s. Photographs were taken on telephone.

My Birthday cake (this is our joke with Rauf. Translation: Nara, that is very good that you came to this world). In Crimean Tatar language "peyda olmaq" - appear, come into existence, come in. But in Turkish language this phrase means something which came in from nowhere. In the beginning I used to use this phrase, then Rauf actually explained me the meaning of it. In any cases now we have this joke and some Turkish people learn my mother tongue - Crimean Tatar :)
