It was late 80s in Turkey and newspapers were distributing Christmas gifts to those chosen by lottery who collected 30 coupons. My father was buying newspapers daily and I was responsible to cut the coupons and collect them. When we had 30, my mom and I went to the post office and sent them. As a child with no reading ability and internet connection I was not aware of its name but there was a picture of colorful blocks and amazing figures. There were other but these were what I wanted. Neither me nor my friends had these, I even didn’t see them in the toy store of our neighborhood. One thing was certain: they were magnificent. In the middle of December, it was announced that we won LEGO from the lottery. My family was also not aware of what LEGO is. Then next week postman brought a fancy box. My mom carefully unboxed it and we faced with LEGO Galaxy Explorer. It was a love at first sight. Since then I know what Lego is and it is no more a toy but a way of creativity, experience and imagination for me. And since that Christmas, I love LEGO…
Why did I write down the story above? Recently I have attended a contest by Lego. Unfortunately I am not the winner but at least I tried.
