In Turkey we have bus system and normally we use these busses. In Kocaeli we have different busses which are going to every place in Kocaeli but in certain times. The busses starts at 06:00am and ends at 24:00 in the center but if you have to go to a far district the busses ends earlier than normal times. Also you can use sea busses cuz Kocaeli is a Bay City and many of the districts are accross the Marmara Sea. If you want to go to İstanbul there are bus companies like “Efe Tour” and they have tours to every city in country. Also you can use the fast trains to go to Ankara and close cities to Kocaeli. The biggest bus station for city busses is “Halkevi” it has a big road crossing bridge and every bus passes this station in their ordinary laps.

Our Interns
When I decided to do my internship with AIESEC I was looking for some different experience from all I had so far. I wanted to confirm whom I was, to challenge myself, to see what I was capable to do. Where better to do that than with people who grew up in the other side of the world? My internship was about teaching English to the employees of a multinational company for 9 months and doing it not only helped me develop new competences faster but helped me to know myself better. Summarizing: Self-knowledge, development, society impact, adventure’s feeling and new unforgettable friends made my internship.
AIESEC was something new and very different from me, I didn't know how
it works, I didn't know the people and what I cared about was an experience in an
international company in a foreign country. I was working as game designer in this company and I've got
to say that it wasn't just about the job it was about the people I've met, the
new culture I ve been exposed to together it helped me develop, be open and
creative, listen more, work More. It feels like a footprint in my heart and I know it's never
gonna disappear, because it definitely changed me. Among the things I've learnt in this
internship, is that world is so big and small at the same time. I've spent a lot of time travelling through
Turkey and I met people from all corners of the world. Hopefully, I will be able to meet
them again and to have new experiences.
