Hello everybody

I hope that in your design brief you will reflect information about your parents: how they spend their time, read, listen to music, go to nature or to the country. If they like to go to their house outside the city, then in order to work in the garden, or pick mushrooms and berries, or to steam in the sauna? Perhaps in your country and in your city there are traditional ways of spending time for close friends. So, last year, girls from Turkey talked about an interesting tradition among older women.

Altin günü is a gathering amongst people usually elder woman to see each other and share the latest news aka gossip. Close friends eat together, talk, dance. They host this activity one by one at each members’ house. They use rotational order. Noone can by host more than once in a cycle. There reason behind this is hidden inside the word ‘altin’ which means gold. As a tradition, brings a piece of gold to the host. Thus at the end of the cycle everybody gives  and receives the same amount of gold.
