Chapter 51 - EVS - ENGLISH

I'm Fatih.

You know me somehow because you know me maybe real or following me from blog. I'm doing EVS in sweet city Riga in Latvia.
I already spent 9 months and little bit more. 

Ok I'm metropol city person. I really like a lot of people around me. Sometimes you don't need to talk with them. Ok I'm sometimes quiet. But Sometimes eyes talking, sometimes nature... I came to Latvia. There was another culture, another dimension, partly it is another life in another place for partly in my life. Take a breathe for little while.

Still I'm  university student. I'm studying about public economy and tax systems. 4th class student. I believed to do EVS, because it was one of the change for me. In my country to go Europe or going abroad it's not so easy. Also I didn't know If i have a chance how I will use it.

When I was 1st class of university , I decided to work on NGO.  I started to be volunteer in some NGO's. And now I'm a peer trainer about a lot of subject.

Was it good decision to come Latvia ?
It was good decision for me but leave from everything... pause my school and my life and so on. There was a lot of question : What will u do ? What will happen to your school ? Are u crazy ? What kind of country are u going ? You will be iceman in the cold . And a lot of things.

In Latvia, Sorry but I heard a lot of stereotypes about Turkey. eg. Are u marrying with 5 women in Turkey ? Are u using Latin alphabet ?
It was nice to change people stereotypes.

I have really good times in Latvia. Nice hockey matches, going out to Oldriga and chill out with my friends meet with new people and talk with them and find common things. I survived most colder winter in my life. In February around -25 °C. And T-shirt will be ready next month. Slogan is I survived in Latvian winter. Next ? :)

Now maybe you are reading this article. I'm very thankful for more than 4000 visitors in 7 months. 
After than 9 months I can say I really like this sweet country.

Cheers all my friends.
