My Erasmus: I touched Istanbul

I was in Turkey at Istanbul. I was living on the Asia part of Istanbul.

hum... what to say about it. I dont want to explain a boring experience like every Erasmus Experience like :
"ooooh it was the time of my life...
I discover a new world...
Now i believe in Jesus..."

Ok it was and Of course there were many parties but this experience was great because i discovered many thing about the religion, a new comunity, a new style of life, This town is really different, people there are so nice(maybe because i m from Paris...) and the cost of life... so cheap.

I learn a lot about the muslim comunity and how to eat without pig's meat. Turkey is one of the best place to have holidays.
I met many friends and some other erasmus (most of them from Germany). I met a really nice Hungarian Girl. Now we still spending our time together and its really funny when u have to explain to the other: she is from Hungary, i m french and i met her in Turkey.

The only problem with this trip was about my school. I totally learnt nothing at the university. but i learnt a lot about Ottoman civilzation, Muslim, Istanbul, etc etc...

in Conclusion the Erasmus is cultural experience and not professional experience. If u got the opportunity to handle with it, dont hesitate ;)
