WORLDWIDE | Saturday, 19 March 2011 | Views [167] | Scholarship Entry

Born in the countryside of Uganda in the rain forests of Karinju, adventuring to unleash my potential through discovering and sharing information is my hobby, I have been among the few people who visit communities in the crater lakes of Bushenyi to write stories on the day to day living challenges and constraints of life faced by Humanity. It will be my big adventure and visualizing what I have read about the city being Unique. This unique city, at the meeting point of Europe and Asia, located on both sides of the Bosphorus (Istanbul Straits) is described as a jewel by the famous French author Lamartine.
Istanbul is a city of synthesis which realizes in an atmosphere of tolerance the uniting of the East and the West on the subjects of culture, art and religion, at the borders of two separate continents. The Bosphorus, which stretches out between the emerald-like slopes, the woods and the bays adorned with one thousand and one beauties, is unique. Halic Bay (Golden Horn), a horn-shaped bay located on the European side of Istanbul, is one of the most beautiful natural harbors in the world.
It will be a big adventure indeed experiencing a unique art, culture, and entertainment, Istanbul is an international art and cultural center. Of which the International Arts and Cultural Festival is held each year in June and July with famous artists coming from all over the world. And meeting with Terry Richardson will be the best moments of my life and a worthy sharing achievement back home.
Travelling is my hobby and I learn a lot that changes the lives of many peers that I share the information with and discovering new place gives updates my research skills, it with no waste to consider Kweyunga Emmanuel, a Ugandan youth with enthusiastic discovering skills and ready to offer his experiencing to achieving the Rough Guide to Istanbul.
