7 days sounds better than 1 week!

This week is the last working week for us. My time here will be over soon. Last 7 days are left and hopefully we spend it well! :) 

Last week we didn't had anything new - we were searching partners for our projects and we're learning Turkish again + we even had couple of English lessons.
Also, I met with 2 couchsurfers who are currently living in Diyarbakir. It was a well-spent time with them and I'm feeling a bit sad that I didn't met them in the beginning of my EVS. They are a lovely couple, who have travelled a lot and surprisingly are speaking English well. They are taking Tango courses together and on Thursday I had a chance to see one of their lesson. In fact, I didn't even know that there are Tango courses in Diyarbakir. 

Diyarbakir is still nice and warm - they have a good winter here. I guess if I'm back in Tallinn I'll miss that 'no-snow-and-very-warm' weather (although, now I would like to see snow for couple of days :)).

2 weeks left .. last things to do!

The electricity, water and internet came back on the same day when I posted this 'karma' strory. Oh, that was just perfect when we finally turned on our heaters and it was warm again. It felt like miracle has come true! 
Although the electricity went away for 2 times that day, it still felt amazing! We had our lovely warm home back :). 

Yesterday we had guests. When usually the hosts should invite people, then in Turkey the things are a bit different - Ago just got a message in FB that 'we are coming to you' .. so you can imagine how surprised and confused we were .. ofc, it was totally okey, because it is always good to have guests. Their 'I'll be here in 1h' turned out to be 'I'm here and I'm ringing the doorbell right now'. At least it was good, because usually they are all late. So, there we were, sitting in our huge living room with Recep, Bercem, Nesibe, Ruken, Merve and Muhhamed; eating the most sweetest cake ever and playing OK.
It was a lovely day. 

Today we started with our Turkish lesson again, as friday we skipped it. Nicely spent 2 hours and after that we visited Yasmine's school where she is a English teacher. We had a lovely lesson, full of questions about pork meat, life traditions and university exams. :)
