Hello my dear friend. How are you, how are your days going? I want to tell you how my days are going here. You know that my school is in the district of Bolu, a small place on its own. Although I didn't get used to living here at first , things are going really well now. I live in a student dormitory and I have had a lot of new friends . We are trying to help each other as well as we can. Everything is OK. Our lessons are both online and face-to-face. Some days we go to school while same days we listen our teachers via our computers. Apart from that. Althought very rarely. When we receive permission from our teachers. We help the upper classes in the kitchen so we can learn by watching them . What are you dealing with? How is studying going? Do you get used to your new city? Please write me back.I'm looking forward to your reply.Take care of yourself. See you.

Hi my little bunny Hatice! What are u doing? Did you get used to Cappadocia? How is the weather there? I'm sure it's cold and you're cold. It is very cold in Bolu and sometimes we wear coats. It is very enjoyable to walk in the forest here.  You must come here one day.  I hope your classes are going well, your exams are going well and you don't miss your classes. I try to pay attention to my lessons, I read books and watch a lot of videos when I have time. I haven't played the guitar since I came here.  because I left my guitar at home.  Sometimes I fall asleep listening to music before I go to bed.  I can't sleep as early as before.  My sleep pattern is disturbed here. If I have class the next day, I go to bed early and wake up early. I love my school and Mengen.  This place is quiet and far from noise.  It is true that it is a small place, but we have a lot of fun with my friends.  I miss you and Ankara so much. One day we should gossip for a long time. See you soon...

That's why I like mengen. I belive I will have good days here.

Hello Nergiz

How's your college life going?  How do you keep up with your housemates?  I think you're both happy and sad because it's your last year.  I hope everything is okay.  As for me, I came to Mengen.  I am studying Gastronomy at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University.  I'm in a small town.  I live in a dormitory, although not as comfortable as my home, it is a very nice dormitory.  I have made new friends and have a lot of fun with them.  Every day after dinner we go out and chat.  The weather here is very unstable.  We sweat at noon and get cold at night.  I will be here for 4 years.  Everything seems fine now.  I hope it stays like this forever.  I am waiting for good news from you.  Take care of yourself.

Dear Mustafa,

Hello Mustafa, I am your childhood friend Onur. How are you. I am currently studying in Bolu(mengen). I live in the dorms. I am happy with my city because I love nature. The city where I live is famous for its chefs(aşçı).

I won gastronomy and culinary arts this year because i wanted this job since i was little. I chose this department because it is a difficult craft and a profession with a future. life is so hard here because there are too many dogs. you know i'm so scared of the dog. here in my spare time i do hiking and sports.

I often go for a walk with my friends. there is not much social life here so sometimes ı get bored. my time on campus is mostly spent watching the kitchen because ı love kitchen . what do you do in your spare time? How is your college life going?

this is my life. With respect and love, your childhood friend Onur

take care bro
I miss you

Hello my friend Nihal
How are you? I am fine, I am very happy to be here. My days are pretty fun. When I wake up in the morning, I am greeted with clean air every day. After I have my breakfast, I follow my lessons on my phone on the days when I have online lessons. I go to school in the cold but clean air of the vise on the days when it is not online. Personally, I prefer face-to-face lessons at school every day, even though the weather is cold in the morning, because I think it is more efficient and fun. After my face-to-face classes are over, I usually go to our school's practical kitchen. After we leave there, we go to the cafe and have a drink when we have time with my friends. When it's time for my country's dinner, I go to my home and eat my food. After dinner, we go to the canteen on our upper floor and have conversations with my friends again. At night, I sleep with the tiredness of the day collapsed

Dear, Nazrin

How are you? It's been a while since the last time we talked. I heard you got accepted to the university you wanted, congrats! I knew you would make it.

I study gastronomy and culinary arts at Aban Izzat Baysal University in Bolu, Turkey. I currently live in Mengen. Mengen is a quite small rural town and is famous for its cooks and cooking festivals. I like the overall atmosphere here.

I stay in a dorm here. It's not so big but it's cosy. It feels like home already.

Apart from university classes I also take pastry courses. I bake cakes after classes. I sleep a lot when I have some leisure time. I also draw and listen to music when I am at the dorm.

How is your university life going? Have you gotten used to it alread? I hope you are not having a hard time with your studies.

I know we don't talk a lot, especially after our graduation, but I want you to know that I still love you and miss you. Take care and stay healthy.

Sincerely yours, Mehdikhan.

Hello Dilan,
 I miss you.
 As you know, I am in Mengen, Bolu (1 hour from Bolu center, 2 hours from Ankara).

 This is a district famous for cooking.
 The weather is very warm here, it is a natural place and the smell of the stove is very sweet here.

 I sleep when there is no school, usually when there is not much place to go. Sometimes I play football. 1 month here seems like 15 years to me. I'll cry soon, life without adventure is here.

 How is the work going?
I miss spending time with you so much that we will meet soon, it will not end like this.
 I really miss you.
I can't wait to see you again. Take care of yourself.With these lyrics, I have to say goodbye to you, my dear.
 I remembered you again yesterday, my eyes filled with tears.
Those sweet days became memories
The separation has come, you have to endure
i miss you so much dude donkey ^_^

sending you love,
Resul

Hello how are you?  I hope you are well and all is well.  I'm in Bolu Mengen.  It is very cold.  Time doesn't pass.  Here, in my spare time, we go to the library of our university, study and read books.  Apart from that, we play board games with my friends and spend time in the cafe.  It was easy for me to get used to this place because I have friendly friends.  We go to the kitchen with my friends, we help if there is a need for help and we learn cutting techniques etc.  What are you doing?  How's your college life going?  Did you get used to your friends?  I hope your friends are as friendly as my friends.  I miss you so much.  I will be waiting for your answer.  See you soon.  Take care of youself, good bye.

The purpose of my department is to train chefs who can cook well. It is a physically tiring profession, but I am very happy that I chose this profession.

Hi Erdem, it's been a long time since I've seen you, and I hope you're all right.

i settled in mengen, a small town because of university this is a town famous for cooking also it's very cold in winter

As you know, I'm studying gastronomy and culinary arts, and the school here is old and small, but that's fine by me.  The important thing is that our teachers are admiringly very well equipped and career-based and I'm already starting to look up to them.

We went to the same house with Emre, our mutual friend from high school. As you know, he is studying in the culinary department and we spend a lot of time together.

You won't believe it in front of our house, but there is a flock of cats, one of them is yellow-haired, we named him cabbar, an incredibly cute male cat
My roommate and I go to the big forest behind our house to collect mushrooms, we often come back empty-handed, but it is still very enjoyable to go hiking.
My friend and I are working hard to improve our level of knife handling techniques.
I spend almost my whole day with him

how is your university life going, tell us a little about your life there and your classes

Waiting for your reply to my letter, hope to see you soon

Hi my dear friend Şevval.
How are you? Long time no see. I hope everything is going very well.

I’m in Bolu-Mengen now. Mengen is a very small and cold town but it is intertwined with nature. Being here makes me feel very comfortable. And this place is very famous for its food. I would love for you to visit me one day and taste these delicacies.

As you know, I’m in BAIBU, gastronomy and culinary arts department. The purpose of this section is to train chefs who make good meals. It is a job that will be very difficult physically and mentally, but I am very happy that I read this department. I'm not in the kitchen yet as I'm in 1st year, but I'm looking forward to being in the kitchen next year.

On my free days, I get up at 8:30 and go to breakfast in the cafeteria. Then I sometimes go to city center of Bolu. It is a bit far from Mengen, but as you know, traveling, shopping and having fun gives me energy :) Sometimes I play games with my new friend in the entertainment hall of the dormitory. Apart from these, I  go to Russian course three days a week. That's all i've done.

Are you happy in your school and department? What are you doing at university? I'm very curious about you and I'm waiting for an e-mail from you.

Take great care of yourself. Hope to see you face to face, my dear.

Hello Pınar. How are you? It's been a long time since we talked. I missed you. I hope you are well. I am very busy these days. Even though I can't write letters, you were always on my mind. There are many changes in my life, I started living in another city for university, met new people, made new friends. I believe that I have changed for the better and will continue to improve myself.

Everything is going well now. I'm studying gastronomy and culinary arts in Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal Unıversıty. Bolu-Mengen is small and cold. I can say calm, peaceful, spacious. It has limited opportunities, it has few places to visit, it's a really small place, but I still feel happy. Our teachers teach very well and beautifully. I like to listen to the lecture, it's nice to learn new information. Time passes quickly and efficiently here.

I meet very sweet people and teachers in the department I am studying at  conferences are held, we continue to learn new things every day, I try to improve myself, I strive for better. I got used to my school, my teachers.

I continue to improve myself outside of school. I started learning  Russian  and I'm very excited for this. Apart from that, I walk, read books, watch animation, movies, TV series, listen to music and study mostly. I also try to exercise whenever I have time. I am happy with my position, my university, my friends, my teachers.

What are you doing? How is Antalya? How is your university exam preparation process going? I am looking forward to your answers, hope to see you soon. Take care of yourself.

Hello my dear friend Nergis,
How are you? First of all I wanna start my letter by saying that I miss you so much. I hope you doing good. If you ask me I’m okay, everything is fine.

Let me tell you a little about my university; I’m studying in the İzzet Baysal University Gastronomy and Culinary Arts Department. My school is in Bolu-Mengen. This is a little and sweet town. Rise out of the ruck with traditional foods and chef’s.

Now, let me tell you about my section; my best part of this section is that we can eat what we made. So the kitchen classes is mostly fun. The part I don’t like is this thing is very stressful and sometimes the kitchen gets too hot.

I wake up 8 o'clock everymorning. I have a breakfast 9 o'clock. Iam going to school after breakfast. I come back to dorm. I doing homework. I with meet friends.

I playing guitar a free time. I going to violin and piano lesson. I reding a book.

How is your universty life? Which is you won school ? What are you doing in a free times? I miss you and I wait your answers.

Wiht love :)

Hello my friend.
How are you, what are you doing? I miss you.
I'm in Bolu/Mengen. This place is famous for its Kanlıca mushroom and cold. The weather is often foggy. Mengen is a small,beautiful. We are staying in a rented house with my 3 friends. Our house has mountain view. Opposite is a mountain view. Everywhere is green. You can have a picnic anywhere in Mengen. There are many places visit in Bolu. Abant, Gölcük, Yedigöller... I want to visit them all.
I'm studying Gastronomy and Culinary Arts here. I'm still in 1st grade. Due to the pandemic,our classes are usually online. This is sad. So I can't adapt to school.
Being a good chef is hard. Because we just cook. Coping with stress, kitchen management, calmness, standing for long periods of time, being cool, being creative and many more. I thought of all of these when choosing this episode. I will improve myself and become a good chef.
In my spare time, I watch tv series, try to learn foreign languages, learn new dishes. I love to cook and different flavors.
Where do you live? Which section are you studying? I want you to tell me. Take care. I like you. See you...

Hi my dear Eymeeeen!

I miss you soooo much! How are you? I wonder your days actually. We can’t see each other because of our universities. Too much distance! But I’m happy for you ‘cause you are in your dream school. I hope you are happy and make new friends. Is the school as good as you expected? How is your city also? I know you are busy now but I wonder everything about your new life.

I feel that you miss me so much. Please don’t worry about me. I’m getting used to my school. At first I had a hard time being without you and I wanted to come back but I saw that you continued and I became stronger. Here, there is a cat in the dorm’s garden that she is look like your cat Leyla much. When I saw the cat I shocked and said “Omg! Is it Leyla? Here?”. But as you know I scared cats and I don’t go to the garden because of that. I spend my day in my room’s balcony. I really love my little balcony. I write this mail in there too!

This is how my days. Not all of our lessons are face to face because our school is small. I wish all of my lessons become face-to-face as yours. Don’t forget send me the photo while you listen your lesson in class! My teachers are behaving good to us so I am not forced. But exam week is coming… when are you exams, I pray for you.

My life is going well except your absence. Make our bests, make our dreams true and then meet! Then, maybe we will have a life like in the TV show you likened to us. I know you are good but I wonder about you. I know you are busy but I’m waiting for your reply. Please write me, ok? Ankara is cold, be careful. Take care.

I promise I will do my best and I will study hard for cook free meals for you. I love you very very very very very much.

How are you? İts been a long time since we met.
There have been New developments in my life. I'm sure you have too.

The last time we met, we were studying for the university entrance exam. I passed the exam and I'm in the school I want.
By the way, I'm studying Gastronomy and Culinary arts, so I've been studying the department that has been my dream for many years.

I'm happy in my life at the moment. My school is Mengen and I live in a dormitory there.
Mengen is small and there is no activity to do, but I'm still happy.
Since most of our classes are online, most of my time is spent in the dormitory. I attend online classes in dormitory.
I spend time on social Media in my free time i watch movies, i read books and sometimes i study.
I am satisfied with my first year of üniversity life.
Have there been any New developments in your life? What are you doing? How is your day going?
Waiting for reply as soon as possible.
I love you my best friend . Byy.

Dear Hazal,

  Greetings from Bolu. How are you since we saw each other? I hope you are well. I really miss you and those fun days I spent together.
   As you know, I started studying gastronomy and culinary arts in the Mengen district of Bolu. There were a lot of things I was really worried about when I came here, but I already feel like I'm in the right place.
   Mengen has a really wonderful nature. If you see it, you will love it too.
   Mengen is the capital of my profession. Many famous chefs in Turkey have been trained here. This is really proud. Mengen is a city famous for its dishes. Mengen pilaf, Kedi batmaz, Mengen Lamb Casserole are some of them.
   Gastronomy department is very fun but also difficult. There are countless informations I need to learn. Since this is my first year, we are seeing theoretical lessons. But the process is difficult due to the covid 19 pandemic. We have to do half of our lessons online. it's really sad.
  I walk in my free time.I also started sports. I met many new friends here. I love spending time together. How is your college life going. I hope everything is as you planned. I want the most successful doctor of the future to be my friend so work hard.
  I look forward to seeing you again and I look forward to your good news as soon as possible. Take care of yourself. Goodbye…                                                                                       MERVE SEYREKLİ

Dear Sümeyye
How are you? I miss you so much. I am in Bolu. There are many beautiful places here. Yedigöller, Abant Lale, Sülüklü Lake and much more. If you come, we will travel together. Mengen Rice, Abant Kebab, Ovmaç Soup are also very famous.

I love the part I read. Ihave too many lessons. Triying not to miss my homework. Classes are a bit boring this year.  We will enter the kitchen. Our face to face classes are fun.
I dont have many friend, I am a little bored.  I am staying in Mengen and it's a very nice, quiet place. I am trying to get used to where I am.  I hope you are happy where you are. How is your university life going?
Take care. Stay well. See you later.
Your friend Beyzanur.

Dear Esra
Hello It's been a long time since I wrote you a letter. I wonder how it is. I hope you are fine. I'm fine if you ask me.
I'm trying to get used to the Mengen vise. You know, everything is fine.
It's been a month since I come here.
I miss you so much. I want to spend a lot of time when I return to Tokat.
Mengen is a small and cute place.
Looks like it'll take me a while to get used to it. There are many animals here.
Obviously people love animals. This is very nice. I'm thinking about the future these days.
I'm so confused. I haven't decided yet what I want to be.
I'm reading a book in my free time here. I'm listening to music. I'm also going to violin lessons.
So what are you doing? How's your collage life going?
I will be waiting for your answer.
I love you. Take care. See you soon.

Hello Best Friend .

We haven’t met you for a long time. I miss you so much.  I hope you're fine.  I would love to explore new places with you here.  I hope you are satisfied too.  There are many places to visit in Bolu.

I have been in Bolu for 4 months.  Bolu is a somewhat cold place.  I'm used to it now.  I live in the dorms.  My room has a balcony.  I like to drink tea, taking in the forest air.  I don't like the food of the student domitory  very much, but our weekend breakfasts are good.  I also started to get up earlier in the morning.  There are ducks that never shut up right next to our student domitory.  I made new friends here.  I love spending time with them.

I'm looking forward to taking practice classes and trying new recipes.  It is a pity that we have few face-to-face classes because I would like to spend more time at school. It is boring to attend classes online because there is an internet problem.  There are not many activities that I can do here.  I spend most of my time watching movies, reading books and sleeping.

How are you?  Are you satisfied with your university life?  Have you made new friends?  Tell me where you live.  Take care of yourself.

See you again.

My dear friend Deniz
How are you ? i miss you buddy . i miss doing things together. I especially want to walk together. I feel, you won't like this thought. Because walking isn't really for you. But I think you like the green and dense mountains of bolu. I'm in bolu right now, I am in Mengen district of bolu province. I like this place . Away from the noise and in touch with natüre. But sometimes it can be boring , but this is helpful as it makes me think.
It's called the "city of cooks".Mengen's dessert and cheese are famous. I haven't tried it yet, maybe I will one day. I am studying at the gastronomy and culinary arts faculty of bolu abant izzet baysal university here. You know, I love to cook and especially to eat. I have no idea about people but our teachers are very experienced people. This is exciting ! I can’t wait to acquire and develop these experiences .in my spare time I walk , draw , and watch a lot ıf series. Do not judge me ! We've been in a pandemic for a LONG time, but my dramas don't end. Anyway, I hope your mom got things in order, did she? How is Istanbul ? What about your department ? I hope you are well. Don't forget to tell me about yourself in another email. Until then, take care and stay healthy.

My dear esma,
How are you, what are you doing. We havent seen each other since  I came. I missed you so much I hope everything is fine in your life. I'm happy here I'm trying to get used to it. You know I came to study gastronomi and culinary arts in Bolu mengen

Mengen is a small place not a big place like istanbul, so it will be had for me to get used to it. It's like a village, cows roam around

But I came here knowing this. I came because BAİBÜ'S education is good. I love my department,our teachers are very good, they are interested in use. When I dont have lessons, I go to violin lessons. I am very happy to star learning the instrument I always wanted to learn

How is yor college life going? Do you collect lost of memories? I hope our future lives will be very good. See you soon

Hello İrem
How are you these days, how is your university life? I hope it's as fun as mine. University is different from high school, don't you think?
I wake up at 8 am because I'm staying in the dorm, then I go down to breakfast. After breakfast, I return to my room. We stay 4 people in the room and I got used to my roommates, they are really nice people. My classes start at 10 am and I'm hanging out on the internet until then. My first lesson ends at 11:30. After that, we take a lunch break, which lasts about an hour. I go to the market during the lunch break or prepare for the second lesson. Then my second lesson begins. I rest after my second lesson is over. The lessons of the gastronomy department are a bit difficult, but I will overcome this department because I am interested in it. My teachers are good people. How are your classes and teachers?
Since there are too many stray animals in Mengen, I sometimes have a hard time going to school. I love them but dogs scare me.
I only go to school for 2 days because my other classes are online. We stretch outside after school. Since it is a small city, there are not many activities that I can do. This is how my life goes right now. I'm wondering what you're doing. I hope you are well, take care and see you soon

Dear Elif,
I hope you are alright. I have missed you already.
Because I am in Mengen, I see lots of cats and dogs here. Even though dogs are kind of angry, cats are not. They are pretty friendly like to get loved.
I love seeing mushrooms all over the places. You know that I study gastronomy and culinary arts, that is actually why I like seeing mushrooms everywhere more. Also I usually am in practice kitchen and I have a lot of fun there.
I do not really have lots of free time but whenever I am free, I go to jungle. There are so many trees are here. Some of them are kind of trees that gives us delicious fruits. Additionaly, I meet new people because I feel like I am the friendliest people in Mengen.
What about you? How is the school going? I hope you are doing great and you have new friends already.
Lots of love,
Kevser Köse.

Hi my dear friend Okay, how are you? Are you okay ? I miss you so much.

I am studying gastronomy and culinary arts in Bolu/Mengen. Mengen is a very small and boring town. But the forest are beautiful. Mengen is famous for its cooks. I met lots of new people. They're all good people.

We haven't been in to the kitchen this year. We're going go to the kitchen next year. Our teachers teach well. But some classes are very boring. I don't like to study from my ibuzem.

In my free time, I watch cartoons, play chess, read books. Sometimes, I go to Bolu and wander around the malls.

How is your university life going? I hope you are used to your lessons. I hope you are adapted to your school and your friends.

Say hi to everyone. Take care of yourself. See you during the break. I love you Okay.

Hello my dear friend Adina! We haven’t spoken for a long time that I really miss our long phone conversations. But it’s okay I understand that you don’t have time because of your work. Recently, I also have no time since I study at the university.

Bolu is a beautiful city but it’s so cold here.. of course not as cold as in Russia. There are not many interesting places here but I think it’s not that important for me. In this week me and my friends decided to go to Abant Lake. I heard that this is one of the most popular places in Bolu.

You know that I started studying at the Faculty of Tourism as a tourist guide so the lessons are very interesting, we research a lot of new information.

On weekends I usually sleep a lot and do my homework. Sometimes I hang out with my friends in the evenings.

What about you? How are you doing? I guess it’s hard to combine work and education but I know that you’re doing great.

I look forward to the day when you come to Turkey. I miss you so much and I promise that I will show you all the interesting places in Izmir and we will have a great winter vacation together. See you in winter, take care of yourself bestie<3

Hi my  best friend Elif Derya
I am in Mengen right now because the department I am studying is in Mengen.Mengen is a district famous for it is cooks. Although there is a university here, there is nothing, but the nature and peoples are beautiful .
I study gastronomy and I love to cook, but I love that this department does not only cook but also research and analyze the foods that make up meals.
My classes are very busy and I do not have any free days. There is no activity to do in Mengen anyway, but after classes I read a book and watch a movie.
What are you doing, how is your university life going ,are your lessons difficult, do you have free time?
How is life in Kastamonu? I hope there are activities you can do there

Hello dere, its been a long time since we met. How are you? What are you doing ? How is Burdur? How is the dorm?

When I first came to Mengen, I was disappointed. This place is like a flat village. Although there is a university here, there is neither a place to work nor a place to travel. Supposedly, this is where gastronomy was born. By the way, don't get on my nerves by posting cafe photos on social media. Hah :)

This is the only feature this place is famous for, but the nature is beautiful.

I'm not leaving the dorm because there's nothing here. For school, shopping and sports
I am going out. I'm bored, you know, I'm a person who doesn't leave the house much, but at least I wasn't bored when I was in Ankara and Silifke. I will study here for 4 years and make a horizontal transfer in master's degree.

University life is going well. The first visas are approaching. My lessons are good. It's even going great.

How is your university life going? How is life in Burdur?

I hope you will be successful. See you later dear friend.

Dear Mahmut,

Hi , how are you? I hope you are happy. You know I am study in Bolu. The nature of this place is quite famous, for example, Yedigöller. Everywhere  green. You can pick mushrooms in the forest. We can go to the forest and camp.

My department is gastronomy and culinary arts. I love my department because it makes me happy. I also have separate fields in my partitions. I think I will choose the one closest to me, it will be the hot kitchen. There are also many job opportunities so I can secure my future. our department is a similar. Because we are in contact with people. I wake up eight o clock. I wash my face and hand. I am having breakfast after. I brush my teeth after breakfast. I'm getting ready to go to school. I eat have a lunch in a school. I'm going back to the dorm. I eat dinner at six o'clock. I go to do gym after dinner. When I come from sports, I spend time with my friends. I read a book before I go to sleep. I going to sleep.

How is your school? As you think? Are you satisfied? What do you doing a normal day? I wait your answer. I hope to see you on vacation. Take care of yourself! See you later.

Hello My name is Laziza. My surname in Sharipova. I am 23 years old. I am from Uzbekistan. I was born in Tashkent.
I do study at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University in Faculty of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts. I have such  a wonderful plans for what I'm going to do in the future.
Currently , i am a freshmen at the university.
In the first week of the course, some lessons were face-to-face and I found lots of new frends. At first,I thought it would be difficult to find friends as I am a foreigner. But the girls at the university made me feel completely comfortable and welcomed.
Some lectures at the university are going online due to Covid - 19.But compared to 2019 - 2020 it got a little better and easier.
In the country where I live, there are plenty of famous places such as: Samarkand, Khorezm, Bukhara. The historical buildings from there take you aback with its beauty.Our Uzbek dishes are very tasty.One of the most popular ones are pilav, samsa, shashlik.
I graduated from a law college in Tashkent. But I want to study gastronomy and culinary arts, because I adore cooking.I see a  great future of myself in this profession. That’s why I chose  Chose Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University.
I haven't finished my program yet, because I'm a foreigner, I have a lot of work to do. I need to learn Turkish History, Gastronomy History, Turkish language and more grammar.Moreover, I need to  improve my English skills, because I haven't spoken it for a year.It’s on the way of getting better.

Sorry, Teacher , I strayed too far from the topic. Since I am older and a foreigner, most of my friends are married and working. I found new friends but I don't know them well.

Yelizaveta Otto

Hello, my darling. It's been a while since we last talked to each other. How have you been? I hope you're happy with your life now.

I'm almost happy with mine, too. At least, I prefer to think so. As you already know, I study Gastronomy and Kitchen Arts in Turkey, Mengen. I live in a small-town, it's really tiny. There's no mall to go to, no cinema or theater.  There is not even a small, aesthetically pleasant coffeehouse. I was used to going to those places in Almaty.

I can't say much about my study progress, to be honest.  It's been a month since university started, but I don't feel like I studied a lot. 90% of all that teachers are saying I'm already known of.

But there is something good about my free time as a whole. I started to crochet, and I'm very good at it. Planning to learn French in the near future.

How is your university life? How is our hometown?  I can't wait to hear more about you.

See you in a short time.
Yours truly, Yeliz.

P.S.

Send me some of our photo from the last photoshoot. Want to print and put them up on the walls.

My dear friend Mehmet, How are you? Are you Okay?
You recently asked some questions about my school. I was availabla now. Let me exaplain briefly.
I am studying gastronomy and culinary arts in Bolu vice. I have a nice and cute school. The nature is magnificent. But we only get the chance to see this beauty two or three days a week. But it is not without it is good sides. I have al ot of time left For myself. For example, ı go to the gym four days a week. I am going to the drama club one Day. İn the rest of the time,I go to work. But don't say you don't study,huh? Of course I do that too. So you know,everything is fine. I would be better if this disease was over.
Did I tell you why I came to bolu?
İt is famous For it is food and cooks.
Otherwise, why should I leave theology  and transfer to the horizontal?
Of course, it takes some courage to makes such radical changes in life. As I Said, this courage stems from the fact that bolu is a land of cooks.
That is all I have to say. What are you doing? Let me tell you soon. I am waiting For your reply as soon as possible. Take care of yourself.
See you my dear friend

Dear Yeşim;

Hi,how are you?Long time no see.Now we are in different cities,we won’t be able to meet face-to-face for a while.That’s why ı want to tell you a little about my school and the city where I live.

I am studying gastronomy at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University and I am staying at the Berra Dorm.Our room is for 6 people and everyone has their own private room.Since the dorm is located in the city center,my friends and I can go out and have fun whenever we want.But my school is located in the Mengen district,which is very far from the city center.That's why a lot of time passes on the way to school and sometimes I fall asleep on the way :D.I have 8 classes in total,but we won't be cooking at school this year and that made me a little sad.

In my free time,I turn on the music and dance with my friends and this amuses us a lot.I know you like it.I hope we can do this together soon.Please tell me about your school and the city you live in.I'm waiting for your e-mail.See you later.<3
