11. TECHNOBIRD IS IN AFYONKARAHİSAR
11.1. Tuğçe GÜNEYLİ- Yaylabaği Şehit Ahmet Öztürk Secondary School
A small bird freezes in Afyonkarahisar famous for its cold weather. It lands on
Yaylabağı Şehit Ahmet Öztürk Secondary School. We save it and take it to the Thermal Springs
because there are a lot of thermal hotels in our city and it is very curative. Afyonkarahisar is
one of the leading cities about thermals with its Ömer, Gecek, Gazlıgöl, Hüdai and Heybeli
thermal spring and with the modern ho tels and hostels there. The Thermal and mineral springs
are very important for the health. After the bird heals we learn its name is TechnoBird. We go
to city center with TechnoBird.
When we go to Afyonkarahisar city center,TechnoBird sees the Karahisar Castle and
wants to step up the castle. Karahisar Castle is situated on a rock mass in 226 metres in height
in the South part of the city. The castle was built as a shelter for the soldiers during Arzava
military expedition by Murşil the second Hittite King in 1344 BC. We enjoy the scenery of
Afyonkarahisar on the castle.
Atatürk and his military won a lot of wars inAfyonkarahisar to announce Turkish
Republic. So, we visit National Park of Supreme Military Command.
When TechnoBird is hungry we goto a restaurant. Afyonkarahisar cuisine is very rich
with its traditional dishes. It is very common to use opium and opium oil especially in the
pastry.In special occasion, people lay a big table to eat together and this meal is called as
‘SıraYemeği’. The variety of the food in this meal changes from 10-25 kinds of meal to 40
kinds of meal. Afyonkarahisar traditional tastes; soup: sakalaçarpan, tandır soup, göcetarhana
(soup with dried yoghurt). Some of the traditional pastries are: arabaşı, ağzıaçık, bükme,
haşgeşli, katmer.TechnoBirdchooses tandır soup, Turkish style fermented sausage to eat. Then,
TechnoBird wants to eat crumpets in thick syrup with clotted cream. They are very delicious.
We go to Frig Valley to visit Avdalas Castle, Memeçkaya Church, Ayazini Church,
Göynüş Valley and Emre Lake. We walk through the Frig Hiking Trail. We take a break and
drink mineral water fabricated in our region. When we are drinking mineral water
TechnoBirdsees its friends looking for it. TechnoBird thanks us for the trip and delicious foods
and says goodbye. It comes together with its friends and flies away.
