This weekend I was told by one of my new friends and blog reader Emi (hi!) that based on my blog she didn’t think that I was into or interested in shopping. Really?! Because I love shopping. I love finding a deal, a bargain or something on sale. I am always hunting for something unique, [...]

Wow. Spring break is right around the corner and I couldn’t be happier. I have a Fulbrighter coming to visit me for the week and after we do some touring and shopping in Sofia we are heading to Istanbul to do some more shopping, sight seeing and eating.
The weather seems to be vacillating between spring [...]

Here in Bulgaria, people say the March [...]

I am back in Sofia now. I loved Berlin and had a wonderful time there. I’ve had a lot of Bulgarians ask me: do you like Berlin or Sofia better. That’s an impossible question. It seems to me that the two really aren’t comparable. Both cities are unique but they feel completely different. Berlin it [...]

One of the most fun things I did in Berlin during the Fulbright Conference was to rent bikes with my two fellow Fulbrighters from Bulgaria and to ride around Berlin. There was a bike rental shop near our hotel on Alexanderplatz and we were able to rent our bikes for three hours for only 6 [...]

The conference is off to a great start. Everyone is very interesting and the tours and welcome dinner we had last night were a great way to get to know people and to see Berlin.
I am struck by the range of different people here. There are recent college graduates, middle to late twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings [...]

Well, I am off to Berlin. I’ve got an early morning flight. I should be in Germany by 9am and in the city center proper by 11am! Yeah.
The Fulbright commission in Sofia is sending me to the conference. I am looking forward to it. In part it’s celebrating the 20 years since the fall of [...]

I went to Happy Bar & Grill for the first time in Sofia. It’s like an Apple Bee’s Restaurant in the States. I’ve walked by it a hundred times but I’ve never been in. It seems kind of like an American traveling abroad and then eating at McDonalds or KFC.
