Erzurum Street Scene
Children near the Citadel - ErzurumEnglish speakers
Popped into 'English Land' (they run English speaking courses) to ask directions and then spent a couple of hours there every evening with a group. We're teachers in England and found it entertaining and rewarding. In a couple of days we had unlimited offers of everything we could have wanted from a town and as such can't recommend Erzurum highly enough.
'English Land' is on the right up the long hill from the main street (Cumhuriyat Cadesi). The long hill simply carries on up from the main road from the bazaar. It's opposite the University.
We also popped into a shop to buy a sewing needle (as you do). Despite the owner speaking no English we had what we wanted within seconds and promptly spent the next 2 hours there drinking tea with the owner and his friend. We were unable to part with any money for the needle. How is all this possible when we had no language in common?!
