I have reached the home sweet home phase. Although sometimes school is still new and strange, at home I couldn't be happier.I look forward to coming home every night and enjoying a family dinner and then tea time. Sometimes we get a little off task- one night ended in a sing and dance a-thon. Birsen and Ali were singing traditional and gypsy songs from different regions in Turkey- real music. The sounds of people and generations- music that is never recorded or downloaded onto an ipod. Other times we begin talking discussing Turkish or American politics over some delicious Turkish delight. Other times religion. Its fascinating to learn the similarity of beliefs between us although we come from two different worlds. Read more.

AFS offers year and summer programs to Turkey.
