… All the time we have spent in Samsun and Sinop during this meeting is memorable for us but to witness the ceremony of the henna and to participate in such an event of Turkish marriage tradition - was unforgettable experience. Also it was very interesting to see traditional painting on water techniques – Ebru. Turkey has a rich natural landscape. Samsun and Sinop coastal sceneries are remarkable. We did like traditional food and dancing very much. Exceptional hospitality of Turkish people is also cultural heritage. Thank you very much for wonderfully organized meeting that enriched our experience. (Participants from Lithuania)
... I expected to see wonderful country and to get more information about its cultural heritage, but my expectations were succeeded because the two days of the meeting allowed me to absorb the unique atmosphere of everyday ways and cultural life in non-touristic part of Turkey. That was memorable experience that changed my understanding about country and people as well. I had opportunity to participate in authentic traditional event, part of Turkish marriage tradition, and a practice which remounts to antiquity, and that was unforgettable experience. I am very grateful for the opportunity to become acquainted with the culture I have read a lot about. (Kęstutis, Lithuania)
... I expected Samsun to be a little city, not too modern or industrialised. It was not what I expected; the city is quite large and modern, but still very beautiful and unique. The dinner from Tuesday night was the most memorable, with the traditional pre-wedding event. People were so hospital and lovely; they showed us their traditions, sang their songs and showed us how and for what reason to use henna. I will never forget this activity; the henna is still decorating my hand... The water painting was also memorable and very nice, a very unique piece of art specific to the visited place. I just want to thank the Turkish partners all their hard work, I really gained experiences I will never forget. (Eniko, Romania)
