Firstly, I would like to explain, why this blog entry is in English. We decided to start writing here also in English, as the project page is in English and so we don't have to do all the work twice.
Last week, we had a Turkish week at our school and soon Laura and Hanna are going to write about it as well.
Generally, all the students were pleased with the week.
We also had 1 guest, Özgür Cakar, who is the first secretary of the Turkish Embassy. He was really surprised to see how much we knew and what we had done for the week.
All in all, we didn't have very much time to discuss about the week in the class, because the Turkish Embassy had asked us to a little concert and reception. Some of us accepted the opportunity to experience something extraordinary.
The concert and recieption took place in the house of the Brotherhood of Black Heads. The whole hall was full of people and there were even Arnold and Ingrid Rüütel. At the concert there were 2 Turkish musicians - Ahmet Kanneci, who played the guitar and Ekrem Öztan, who played the clarinet. The sound of the duo was really nice and sometimes even a bit hypnotic. It seemed that the audience enjoyed them as well, as the applause seemed to be endless. Finally, when the concert ended, there was a little reception. Unfortunately the room was a bit too small for such a big crowd. We had an opportunity to taste some Turkish snacks as well, but as first of them contained raw fish, then we( students) were not very fond of it.
Here is also a little video of the duo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpManr_Sq5M
I am quite sure, that all the people who chose to attend the event, were very satisfied with it. Big thanks to the Turkish Embassy, who gave us such a great opportunity and who also helped us a lot with the Turkish week. :)
