Fairs and exhibitions

This weekend, I am planning to visit a fair in Bursa, actually three fairs in one place:
  • Bilişim fuarı - an IT and electronics fair
  • Kitap fuarı - a book fair
  • Eğitim fuarı - an education fair.
Here is a link to all three: http://tinyurl.com/374l6u

I've never been to the new exhibition centre, which is not that far from my home.
I even managed to get an invitation for the opening on Saturday. But it's going to be crowded, that's for sure. I'm a book addict, I'm  a teacher and I am interested in IT. Therefore, I want to visit all three fairs. So, I might go there on three different days.

Hello again, Nergiz.

You're lucky to be living so close to the exhibition center!

I would also enjoy the three exhibitions that you'll be attending, and I look forward to reading your thoughts about them.

I was a book editor for a number of years, and always dreamed of visiting the Frankfurt Book Fair—but I was never lucky enough to go, and now it's very unlikely that I'll ever do that.

All the best—

You were a book editor? That would have been another dream job for me! I love reading.

Why is it unlikely now for you to visit the Frankfurt Book Fair? When I went last year, I had already given up the thought and it would have been my last chance while in Germany. Then, suddenly, a friend of mine called me late at night and asked if I would go with her - the next morning. I was so happy. But the downside of it was that I was unprepared. So I wandered around a bit aimlessly. It's such a huge place that you need a week to explore.
The Guest of Honour was India and we went with an Indian friend who could tell us a bit more about her culture.
By the way, this year's Guest of Honour is Turkey.
