What do you like best about Turkey?<\/strong>
I love the diversity of this country. There are a lot of people from different religious and social backgrounds. I also love how every person that I meet is extremely friendly and willing to help even if they do not know English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any similarities between Turkey and your home country?<\/strong>
There are a number of similarities, including the cultural norms, the hospitality, the family systems and the generosity of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will you miss most about Bilkent\/Turkey?<\/strong>
I will miss my friends most of all, as well as the food and the Ankara weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite place on campus, and why?<\/strong>
The dormitory sports facilities because they help me achieve my fitness goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite Turkish food and\/or favorite part of Turkish culture?<\/strong>
My favorite Turkish food is Kokore\u00e7. I love the memory associated with it: my friends forced me to try it without letting me know what it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you expect to see yourself 10 years from now?<\/strong>
That is a hard question\u2026I hope to be an entrepreneur or a politician back in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the hardest challenge you\u2019ve handled in Turkey?<\/strong>
The hardest challenge is missing out on all the jokes my Turkish friends make, but at least I am learning a lot of unmannerly words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What places have you visited in Turkey, and which one is your favorite?<\/strong>
I would love to travel all around Turkey, but I have not been able to due to my workload. For now, my favorite place in Ankara is Tunus Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s an interesting question or comment you hear frequently at Bilkent\/in Turkey?<\/strong>
I have only been here for two months, but I frequently hear people say to me that Bilkent is really hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
