Enjoyed it. "It showed a lot of neat things in Turkey. I liked the old things that they showed. It was great." "I probably would want to see the Turkish words again. It was fun to see a different country." "My friends would like it because the Bible parts were interesting. The pretty things in the museums and the scenery was nice. It showed ancient ruins and had a lot of information about things that you wouldn't normally see." "We says people in school, the house where Mary lived, John's burial, Turkish baths and lots of cool stuff." We liked the brother and sister host because they are kids like us." "I am thinking about going to Turkey. I never would have thought about it before but now I am." Turkey has some fun things and lots of really old things that would be neat to see."
Wonderful video of places most of us never will visit - Turkey! The narrative, by kids, is quick, with lots of facts that hold the audience's attention. They show places in Turkey which would interest a child and never linger on any topic too long. It explains the regions and area visited - museums, ruins, etc. in appropriate ways. The brother and sister are fun tourists to view. The interviews at the school and other places are well done. Overall, it provides an excellent example of a tour gone right! Kids don't always enjoy traveling with adults - especially to places that don't have child specific entertainment. This shows fun places in Turkey that kids would enjoy and shows them from a child's perspective. It encourages global awareness and leaves one thinking about visiting Turkey.
We journey with two kids through Turkey, where they learn about this ancient culture; it's history, geography, language and religions. We visit Turkish homes and a school. We discover that the more we explore the world, the smaller it seems to be.
