Finally,we managed to make the presantation on the computer lab at 10 o'clock.
It took quite long,but we finished it :)
I think we could do better than that.
We hope you like our presentation with our brochures and vocabulary sheets.
Thanks a lot again Mine,
Yours sincerely,
Illuminati

The Passetto
The Passetto is the corridor old Vatican wall between St. Peter's and the Castel Sant' Angelo. This 800m long passageway is also known as the Passetto di Borgo. It was located in the rione of Borgo. It was erected in 1277 by Pope Nicholas III, but parts of the wall were built by Totila during the Gothic War. From outside it looks like a wall but inside there is the tunnel, which on several occasions served as an escape route for Popes in danger. Pope Alexander VI crossed it in 1494, when Charles VIII invaded the city and the Pontiff's life was in danger.


Clement VII escaped to safety through this passage during the Sack of Rome in 1527. Troops of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, massacred almost the entire Swiss Guard on the steps of St Peter's Basilica as the guard protected the Pope, buying him time to escape through the Passetto.
It played a key role in the Dan Brown novel Angels & Demons, through which the antagonist transported four abducted cardinals to the Castle of Sant' Angelo. The protagonists Robert Langdon and Vittoria Vetra later used the Passetto as a shortcut to Vatican City.

İf you want to go to the Vatican
Did you hear the İlluminati until now ?
The Illuminati is a very secretive group of occult practitioners who have been around for thousands and thousands of years, and are using the Jewish Cabala as one of their guidelines to oppress the rest of the population. It is not a boys' club or a group of adults trying to get some excitement in life; this is something much bigger and very sinister. This is an extremely well structured organization consisting of people in very High Places. Those people are the Super Wealthy, who stand above the law. Many of them don't even appear on the list of the wealthiest people in the world - they are that secret. What is driving them is power, money and control.One thing I want to make clear here is that any person can join a secret society if you are accepted, but no one can join the Illuminati. You are born into it and have to be of the right bloodline. Greedy and evil people join their agenda for power and money, but they can't join the Illuminati itself. Important distinction.
The Illuminati have "six disciplines of training" within their Family. These are:
1. Military
2. Government
3. Spiritual
4. Scholarship
5. Leadership
6. Science
“There is no way to understand this world withoutbeing fully aware of who the Illuminati are andwhat they have in mind for you and me.”

Final Destination ' Italian Church'
After we had left from Italian school, we forced our chance and we spoke with the secretary. However,this time we knocked another door of the secretary. She was angry to us due to second visiting. She convinced us about there was nothing and gave information about priest situation. Thus, she directed us again another place and the Italian Church was the last destination for us.
The church atmosphere was a little bit strange. When we entered inside, a woman welcomed us. She was appearing confused. After we talked with her a few minutes,she introduced us with priest. He wasn't knowing any Turkish. We spoke with him English. Then we told something in interest we looked for Vatican City. He understood easily us,but he wasn't knowing anything.Although we did our best to find something, we returned away home empty handed. In my opinion, desipte these bad situations,we spent very good time and to speak with priest was very good action for us.
We are goning on our studies, So far so good ;)
Yours sincerely, İlluminati

Fourth Destination 'Italian School'
The secretary was directed us an Italian School in the same street... When we arrived there,some students were trying their act. We got out second floor. Two polite woman welcomed us very nice. We explained our situaition again and we wanted a few brochures or traditional clothes. They said the same things.We couldn't found anything there too..:(
Third Destination 'Vatican Embassy'
It wasn't easy to find the Vatican Embassy...Hüseyin and me searched it about half an hour..We have attempted many different ways.For instance,while he was asking the adress,I was texting to my çnknmcm to search on the internet our adress. Many people were directed us in a wrong way. My çnknmcm helped us at the end of the searching. He found it easily and described us how can we go there? The Street's name was Papa Rocalli Street.
There was a funny fruit seller,when we arrived.
The Vatican Embassy Representer Georges Marovitch has had an accident when he was on holiday in the Rome . Thus, we couldn't see him and we couldn't ask any question. :(

Second Destination 'Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Istanbul'
We could go to Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Istanbul in the end,however we had to go there without Emine. Because she had to go his dormitory with her father due to her enrolment.Not only Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Istanbul ,but also we have visited Vatican Embassy,Italian School,and a church in the same street and so on.
We had met in the garden,before we set off. Emine and aynure noticed they were quite hungry. They decided to go cafeteria,but hüseyin didn't come with them. He said "no problem,I will wait for you here." Emine and me arrived at cafeteria.Suddenly,Emine didn't want to eat at cafeteria.Therefore she went with some friends in our class. She said: "Dont't worry about it. We will met on Taksim Square.I'll be there on time.See you!"
I ate something immediately and I went to the side of the Hüseyin. I explained the case.After that we got on the bus (112 Taksim/Altbostancı). When we arrived Taksim,Emine sent a text to Hüseyin about her situation. Thus we set off without Emine. After we walked about fifteen minutes on İstiklal Street, we found the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Istanbul. Some groups of people were passing in front of building the same time. They were supporting something about GAZZE with their placards.
We ignored them and entered the building.There was some employees. We gave some information about our city project to them.They told us where we have to go.We went up second floor.There was an enormous library with a sort of book.We went to secretary's department.She said:" We haven't got any brochures or guide book.I can't help you.You can go Vatican Embassy.I'm sure you are gonig to find something there." Hüseyin and me were very upset due to this situation. We learned where Vatican Embassy is.Then we set off again :(

Consulate General of Italy in İstanbul
This week;I had researched about Italian Consulate before I went there. I found their adress on flashmap. Nevertheless, It wasn't easy to find there. I entered several times incorrect streets and I repeatedly asked to someone " where is Italian Consulate? ". Half the amount hadn't been known where is the consulate. Subsequently, I arrived the conculate. There was very long wall in front of the conculate. I walked to a downward direction. I read some information. It was writing "Please,press the button". I pressed the button and an attendant replied me.
I told to him:

" I'm a student at Marmara University. I'm working on a city project.So, I have to take some information about Vatican City. Is there any person to give me some information?"
He said:
" Sorry,there isn't somebody here. You have to be here between 9:00 - 12:00 weekdays. But if you want,you can go Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Istanbul. Someone will give you information there."
I was very surprised and quite happy. I have already found the adress with the same way. But,this time I believe It is going to be easy to find it. :))
I want to go there with Emine and Hüseyin,but I'm suspicious about them. I don't know what they are doing. They didn't come to school and we didn't meet again. This make me irritated. I should speak with them as soon as possible.
It was the only First Destination.

4th Jan This Week


Greeting!
The time is finishing day by day.So, we have to be quick.This week was very normal to us. We couldn't meet very often but we communicated on internet Hüseyin is working on his subject and Emine is trying to cook a special dish to you. I had searched a lof of thing before ı went to Beyazıt. I learned more information about Vatican such as: their religious,music,famouse people,fables and monuments.The musics are very strange. Yesterday, I went to beyazıt to buy a guide book about Vatican. I found some kind of book but ı didn't buy anyone. Because their costs are very high to me. Furthermore, one of them was about Italy and the Vatican City was only 5 page in it. So,I decided to go to Taksim square next weekend. Maybe I can find another guide book there. Also, I have been started to prepare a small guide book to yours. I'm going to give it when we're showing our slide. I don't want to talk about it now,because it is surprise :)))
