We
went
to
Sulemaniye
Mosque
and
there
we
met
Fatih,
who
kindly
explained
a
bit
about
the
meaning
of
the
prayers
and
the
basics
about
the
mosque.
Later
it
was
prayer
time
so
we
were
asked
to
leave
and
Fatih
invited
us
to
the
centre.
There
we
met
Betul,
Mihrimah
and
other
amazing
volunteers
and
had
tea
with
them
in
the
garden.
It
started
to
rain
but
we
didn't
mind
since
we
were
having
such
a
great
time.
We
learned
so
much
about
the
culture
and
the
islam,
the
volunteers
kindly
answered
all
the
questions
we
had.
We
also
learned
a
lot
about
my
boyfriend's
ancestors
since
they
came
from
Izmir
to
Uruguay
in
the
early
19s.
We
were
invited
with
dates
and
since
we
never
had
turkish
coffee
before,
they
made
some
for
us!
We
were
also
given
brochures
with
walks
suggested
by
locals
which
we
followed
the
next
days
and
absolutely
loved
them
to
escape
from
the
more
touristy
paths.
What
else
can
I
say,
I
fell
in
love
with
this
city
and
its
people.
I
recommend
this
experience
to
everybody
who
comes
to
Istanbul,
and
I
hope
to
see
everybody
again
in
the
future.
Thank
you
so
so
much
to
all
the
volunteers
for
your
hospitality!!
