The Turkish team arrived on the island after a 10 hour journey. They were greeted by Deniz Şengül who showed them around. They explored the island which included film studios, a cinema, hospital, beaches, and a teen club. They learned about the currency on the island called FSI Sterling and ways to earn money. The team had dinner at the restaurant and tried the local dish called 'Carbomanti' before retiring to their hotel for the night, tired from the long day of exploring. The Italian team is set to arrive on the island the next day.

There is no alcohol in the club. Smoking is also strictly forbidden on the

working part time at the market, hotel or restaurant. You can even earn
money from doing sports and eating healthy food. Melike want to work
in the FSI Club.
