DECO is the worst thing in the world, that is, if you are the kind of student that hates meeting new people, sightseeing cool cities, learning useful skills and generally having a great time while still learning about bridge engineering. Since the start, it was a rough road, but at the end it was all worth it when we arrived at the Istanbul. Members of BUYAP treated us pretty much like our families. They fed us, woke us up too early, and took care of all our problems (and we are not just saying that because they promised us free kebabs when we come next year). They took us on sightseeing tours, boat tours, Turkish bath and the Izmit Bay construction site, among other stuff. We had a chance to listen to some of the best bridge engineers on the world during the Bridge Summit, and also to the future best engineers during the team presentation day. On the other hand, we learned a thing or two about cultures of other teams’ countries and also made a few friends along the way. DECO is so much more than just a bridge competition, it’s an adventure and a great experience, and we are very grateful to the BUYAP for having us there. And for conclusion we just have to say, DECO and the team of best engineers in the world-TEAM GRF will definetely meet again next year.
