Pumpkins in BG

Posted in Having Fun, Living Life, tagged , , , on October 29, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I just bought 10 kilos of pumpkin. Two pumpkins, 10 kilos and about eight blocks later I am tired and I have green pumpkins. Yep. One is green and the other one is some where between white and green. They are not orange.
I like orange pumpkins.  In my mind, orange pumpkins [...]

Good-bye Shoes

Posted in Having Fun, tagged , , on October 26, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I bought these shoes last spring in Moscow visiting my cousin (Hi, Beth!).  Moscow was lovely.  I had a wonderful time seeing the city and while there on a rainy day I bought a great pair of shoes.  I didn’t even try them on.  I just bought a size 41.  I know, I know–big feet, [...]

Аз живея в апартамент.  Работя в Американския Колеж като Учителка по Англипийски.  Всяка седмица ходя на работа от понеделник до петък.  Всяка сътрин ставам в 5.45 часа.  Аз пия кафето чисто и закусвам кисело мляако с банан.
Обикновено ходя пеша на работа но понякога с автобус.  на работа преподавам, пиша в дневика и говоря с учиниците.  [...]

In the mornings, well when it’s not cloudy and rainy, this is my view from my classroom windows at ACS. Most morning it seems very lucky.  Some morning it seems just too early.

A Baby in the Building

Posted in Living Life, tagged , on October 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I’ve never seen anything like this before.  I think it’s part-bouquet, part-plastic and very, very pink.  I don’t even really know what to call it.
The pink thing says “Baby” and has a naked plastic baby doll attached to it. There are also a number of fake flowers of different varieties attached. If this isn’t enough [...]

Bulgarian Women Don’t Get Fat

Tonight at Bulgarian Folk dance, I was trying my best to keep up with the dance steps.  It was hard.  So then I started watching the other women at the dance class.  There were about 20 people today and most of them are moms of our high school students.
I was jealous about how good they [...]

Mladost Carnival

Posted in Having Fun, tagged , , on October 21, 2009 | 4 Comments »

There’s a carnival being set up in Mladost.  But I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. It’s in an empty muddy lot–which is now getting muddier and muddier and has about five different rides.  Rides that outwardly look like carnival rides but upon closer inspection don’t seem so safe.
I will not for example be [...]

I don’t lists that are posts very often.  But this said, here’s my new list.  It’s a list of the things I can’t get enough in Sofia, Bulgaria.  Things that I see and love, laugh at or just find wonderful.  There’s a lot of stuff to love here.

First up, Crimped Hair. Followed by my second [...]

The Big Hole

Posted in Living Life, tagged , on October 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

There’s a giant hole near my house.  I found out last week that it’s for the metro.  It’s a hole that’s half a block or more long. Apparently they’ll dig a long shallow hole for the metro and it will go half underground.  There’s some that has to go underground but they don’t seem to [...]
