My name is Gonca. I am from Istanbul, Turkey. I came Riverside three months ago. Although I like living in this small city, I miss my hometown very much. Istanbul is a gorgeous city which connects Europe and Asia continents. I believe there is no place on the earth like this city. There is no doubt that the most amazing part of Istanbul is Bosporus side. Also, you can travel between two continents with a ship on the Bosporus. My apartment was at the Europe part of the Istanbu and my job was at the Asian part. I traveled everday between the continents. Isn't it amazing? You can always have something to do in this city and never get bored. If you do not see it, I strongly advise you to visit this dream city. Why did I leave this amazing city? The answer is I want to finish my doctorate degree in the U.S. My major is physics and I finished my master degree in Turkey. I came to U.S. with my Fulbright scholarship to do my Ph.D.
Besides my physics passion, reading articles and books about it, I like swimming and riding bicycle in my leisure time. Swimming is a kind of therapy for me because I love water. Riding bicycle is not only enjoyable activity but also is a kind of transportation for me in Riverside. As a matter of fact, I usually do not have free time, but nowadays it is a little bit different because I am only taking English classes not any physics class. Also, I am happy to take these classes with you guys! Nice to meet you!
