In the Space Camp

Izmir Space Camp... It was my first visit to Turkey. At first I was a little afraid, but then all my fearsdisappeared. In the camp, I got acquainted with a lot of foreign girls and boys from Greece, Iran, Turkey. I would never think I would have foreign friends. On the first day I got acquainted with two Turkish sisters. We were speaking freely without being constrained. We speaking in English about our schools, native countries, revealing some personal secrets, laughing and enjoying ourselves. Then they decided to introduce me to other Turkish friends. After some time I realized I could live without the Internet and the telephone. We were given some booklets which contained information about space. These books helped us a lot to learn new things. They also helped us to feel everything which the real spacemen feel. The camp territory was full of teaching equipment, for example, the chair of gravity.... You can't get bored in the camp because you are constantly learning new things, getting acquainted with new people, improving your English speaking skills.  If you want to know everything about Space and find new friends, this camp is just for you.
