For a lovely country that is sure to
steal your heart, Turkey is your ticket. This
Europe-meets-Asia gem bridges two continents,
two cultures, and thousands of years. Its
white sand beaches, Roman ruins, and dazzling
Turquoise Coast make it one of the world's
top 10 travel destinations. Into city life?
The young and vibrant culture of Istanbul
with its black tea, street vendors, and Grand
Bazaar will certainly leave you head over
heels. Even better, Turkey has a world class
reputation for unrivaled hospitality and
smiling faces.

My AFS Experience
AFSer to Thailand: Lee Webb tells what
its like for an American exchange student in
South East Asia
"As we watched the
coast of California disappear from the 747,
we had no idea what we were getting into. As
for me, I've gotten myself into a wonderful
cultural experience. Living amongst Thai
people, I've noticed myself changing for the
better. I'm becoming more patient and open
minded about everything. I've learned to 'ja
yen yen' which means to just take it easy and
stop stressing over the little things."
AFS offers year,
semester,
and
summer programs to Thailand.
