Name:<\/strong> Nurmukhammed Tolegenov <\/p>\n\n\n\n Department: <\/strong>ECON\/III <\/p>\n\n\n\n University:<\/strong> Bilkent <\/p>\n\n\n\n Country of Origin:<\/strong> Kazakhstan <\/p>\n\n\n\n What were your first impressions about T\u00fcrkiye? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First, that it\u2019s a very interesting country that combines both West and East cultures. You can see it everywhere, from cafeterias to historical monuments. Also, I found that Turkish people are very patriotic because flags are everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you like best about Bilkent and T\u00fcrkiye? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I love Bilkent for the emotions and opportunities. Studying here is not easy, but afterwards that work will open something new for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are there any similarities between T\u00fcrkiye and your home country? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a lot of mutual things between Kazakhstan and T\u00fcrkiye as we are both Turkic countries. Moreover, we have similarities in language, culture, tradition and history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What will you miss most about Bilkent and T\u00fcrkiye? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I would probably say that I will miss my lifestyle here because Bilkent is the place where I started my adult life. It\u2019s the place where I first experienced joy, sadness, disappointment, critical thinking, diplomacy and life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s your favorite place on campus, and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s 76 grass area and the closest place to dorm. Actually, there are a lot of places where I enjoy spending my time but they are very far away from the dorm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s your favorite Turkish food and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m going with Beyti kebab in this question because I don\u2019t really like d\u00fcr\u00fcms here and some kinds of food here are similar to Kazakhstani food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where do you expect to see yourself 10 years from now? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopefully, I am one of the best financial planners in Kazakhstan, driving my Lx570 with my wife and kids waiting for me at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s one thing you learned from Turkish culture? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important thing I\u2019ve learned is to not rush and be patient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What places have you visited in T\u00fcrkiye, and which one is your favorite? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve been almost everywhere in T\u00fcrkiye, and I would say \u0130zmir and Amasra are my favorites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s an interesting question or comment you hear frequently at Bilkent\/in T\u00fcrkiye? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The most frequently asked question I get is whether I am Chinese. Of course I am not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Describe yourself in three words. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Straightforward, calm, fisherman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How is the studying experience at Bilkent? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The studying experience in Bilkent is different compared to other universities. At the same time, it makes you feel depressed but fortunately at the end you will get good results. We are students, we have to suffer, and it makes me feel alive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BY EHSAN SHAREEF (CTIS\/II) Name: Nurmukhammed Tolegenov Department: ECON\/III University: Bilkent Country of Origin: Kazakhstan What were your first impressions about T\u00fcrkiye?
