Lights of the City

I should go somewhere else, I know.. But I have all lights of the city just in front of my window.

Some cities seem better far away from the crowd. For me, Ankara is a picture as you see on the top and I like only lights of the city that can be seen from my dormitory room.

I don’t like Ankara because it is boring and not green as my hometown, Bursa. I prefer seasides and green cities so I am waiting for my graduation to leave Ankara. However, from our campus, it seems like a beautiful city with those lights.

I want to talk about living in Ankara and the place where I stay. I think, there is no place to go in Ankara, as whole city, Ankara is not an interesting place for me. But when I look at those lights from window, I imagine that there is sea on the black area at the end of lights and people are enjoying at the clubs in somewhere in those lights. Those dreams make it lively place.

I am staying at a dorm inside of the campus. I have a great city sight from my room that is located at 3rd floor. I have a single room, near to 7 square meters with bed, wardrobe and table. I have too many items on the shelves and table so my room seems crowded. You can easily see pictures, roses, books, cables of my PC, phone and game console, boxing gloves, racket, cosmetics, accessories etc. It is small to live properly. So I don’t want to add picture of my room with numerous items!

You can think that I am a pessimistic person, in fact I am happy at my room and all those stuff. Even if I am living in Ankara, in our campus environment it is not like Ankara. Our campus is isolated from city and you don’t need to go anywhere. So, I came to Bilkent although I hate Ankara from my childhood.

I should go somewhere but not in Ankara, so I stayed at my room at this weekend and took pictures from my window for my assignment.
