♥ Ελλάδα - Greece ♥

When I saw the topics,I decided to write about the second one without thinking.I really enjoy talking about countries around the world and of course about dreams.And being in Greece is my dream.My grand family emigrated from Thessalonica and Drama in the time of WorldWar I.So,I feel a strong desire to go and see there.

Travelling around the world is my biggest dream.My first experience began with one-week-tour for Finland in 2007.It was a real excitement.When I came back to Turkey,I felt very different.I had to do everything on my own there and this brought me a lot of things.I want my second experience to go to Greece.The first reason for this is emigration.I really want to see that land.This was my father's desire,too and he carried out.He was the executor for his grand aunt's will.She wanted my father to bring her Thessalonica's soil and water.But now with the death of my grandfathers,there is no witness of Greece and emigration.I have the maps and notes from my father and I hope to find there.

Except for our languages and religions,we are nearly similar with Greek People.Our geography,climate,music,food and beverages are the same.This similarity attracts me mostly.I wonder the lives of people especially the ones' who live in islands of Aegean Sea.Already I want to live in a little Aegean town or island.I enjoy myself while listening Greek music very very much.And I want to do this while eating fish,drinking ouzo and looking over against my country's coasts.

Actually,I have an opportunity to go there this summer with a youth service.I hope I can realize this.We have lived fraternally for centuries with our neighbour.We shared lots of things.The frusturation between Turkey and Greece makes me unhappy.There is no need for anxiety.We sing the same songs.We are children of the same lands.How I wish to go to Greece without visa.If I don't go there this summer,I want to go with Erasmus Program.Breathing there and walking on streets would be great.One of my friends' sister is in Greece now and she is very happy to be there.She is saying that people are very calm and friendly and enjoying being relax.This is just what I want : being easy and relax.They prefer to eat long dinner by socializing.

If I go there,this will make me so happy.I will collect money and go there next summer with 'Dostluk Express-from Istanbul to Thessalonica'.I will write my experiences if I could go. =)
