Technobird is a very popular eTwinning ambassador and a technologic bird. Turkish
etwinners have been so successful and popular recently. That’s why Technobird is wondering
Turkey and Turkish people so it decides to travel to Turkey. European NSS calls Turkish NSS

etwinning.net and is looking for volunteers. Better Together Project’s family is a volunteer for
this mission. All members of the project in different cities will take Technobird around their
cities. They collaborate with each other. They are so excited and happy. They look forward to
meet Technobird.
Yayla Primary School students and Zeynep teacher meet Technobird at the airport.
Yayla Primary School surprises Technobird with an exciting helicopter tour. They get on the
helicopter and travel over İstanbul. Technobird is so surprised and so happy. When they pass
over Sultanahmet Square, Technobird notices a large and a colorful place. It feels excited and
wonders what it is. One of the students says “Tulip Carpet”, “this is the largest tulip carpet in
the world”. Technobird can’t believe in its eyes. It says “it’s amazing and fantastic”, “I ‘d like
to see it” so they land on Sultanahmet Square. Technobird and the students take a lot of photos
here. Then they go on sightseeing tour.
The Sultanahmet District is the heart of historic old Istanbul. This is where you’ll find
Topkapı Palace, Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia Museum), The Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Cami),
The Byzantine Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern, Istanbul Archeological Museums, Great Palace
Mosaic Museum and so on. They visit all one by one. Technobird is fascinated by these
historical places. At the end of the tour they are so tired and hungry. One of the students says
Sultanahmet is famous for its meatball, turşu, piyaz and ayran. They go to the famous restaurant
at this district. They eat their meal. Also they eat traditional desserts called “künefe” and
“sütlaç” then they drink Turkish coffee. Technobird loves the meals so much. After delicious
meal, it buys some Turkish delight and some souvenirs.
Now it’s time to say “Goodbye” They take photos. Technobird says “I’m so happy to be
here with you and I love you, thank you so much indeed” The students say “we are so happy,
too and we love you” Technobird leaves so happily and visits another amazing places in
İstanbul…
