Famous in Bulgaria!!

One of my dear friends and colleagues here at the school has been in Sofia for the past year and a half, and this year began working at my school. She has kept a blog of her adventures In & Around Bulgaria. Her blog has attracted many loyal followers, expats and Bulgarians alike. Recently she was contacted by a local TV station who wanted to make a short series about her life here in Bulgaria to show on their morning tv broadcast. It has been hysterical to watch her and our life on Bulgarian television :)

Check out the youtube links as well as her blog here:


Here is the series that has been appearing on NOVA television. One of her blog followers recorded these mini episodes for her. Unfortunately I cannot find the first episode. Enjoy!
(I love you C!)

This morning I missed the 5th episode on television, but I will upload it as soon as I can find it! :)
Well done C.!

A Happy New Year - Winter in Sofia

Here in Mladost 2, with the arrival of winter, things have been taking on some crazy transformations. I have always thought that the apartment blocks outside of the entrance to our campus had some very specific degree of beauty in their utilitarian design. At night however, they look spectacular as if part of a New York City skyline...
