Well, instead of talking about the workplace that I know, I would prefer to talk about where I worked. So, first of all, it was located in Ankara, in the northern side. It’s a neighborhood that belongs to offices and also the mechanics. And our building, we’re full of offices, belongs to different companies. And also, my office was at the top level, top floor of this building. It was quite normal building. There was no special thing. But there were lots of glasses in the building. So, it looks awesome. And because of the reason that we were at the top level, top floor, we can see the Ankara very easily. So, at some points, at some time, the weather was looking awesome. It was a quite good thing for me. And inside the building, as I said, there were lots of offices, belongs to other companies, and also the storage at the bottom of the building. And in the local area, in the neighbor, there are no different things. There are lots of offices and mechanics and petrol stations and also the restaurants that you can feed. And there is nothing else. There were some mosques, some cafes, but not for the students or something. It’s for the people who worked in there. So, it’s not a good place, of course. There is no enough park. There is no enough facilities that you can enjoy, the places that you can go. But is it a matter or not? I don’t know. Because there is no need to park or facility. You can reach anywhere easily. But unfortunately, public transportation was really bad. So, that’s why it’s not a good place right now for working. There are better places in Ankara.

Well, instead of talking about the workplace that I know, I would prefer to talk about where I worked. So, first of all, it was located in Ankara, in the northern side. It's a neighborhood that consists of offices and also mechanics. Our building, which was full of offices, belonged to different companies. My office was on the top floor of this building. It was quite a normal building; there was nothing special about it. However, there were lots of windows in the building, which made it look great. Because we were on the top floor, we could see Ankara very easily. At times, the weather looked fantastic, which was quite nice for me. Inside the building, as I said, there were many offices belonging to other companies, and there was also storage at the bottom of the building. In the local area, in the neighborhood, there weren't many different things. There were lots of offices, mechanics, petrol stations, and also restaurants where you could eat. There wasn't much else. There were some mosques and cafes, but they weren't for students or anything; they were for the people who worked there. So, it's not a good place, of course. There aren't enough parks or facilities to enjoy or places to go. But is that a matter or not? I don't know. Because there is no need for parks or facilities; you can reach anywhere easily. Unfortunately, public transportation was really bad. So, that's why it's not a good place right now for working. There are better places in Ankara.
