Some leftovers- last odd memories of Bulgaria

One day shortly before going to bed I met my biggest fear. After seeing this thing in my room on the wall, I realized that I am not scared of spiders...

Bulgarian language from my point of view

Before I came to Bulgaria I knew only where it is located, I knew that there are mountains of course and that the main actress Nina Dobrev from TV serial "Vampire Diaries" originally comes from Bulgaria. And also I assumed that Bulgarian might be very similar to Russian. But I was all wrong about this.

Delicious&easy and just PERFECT combo for healthy snacking - dates with raw cacao beans! ^.^
  
Veggies and fruits are SO CHEAP! In 'zhenski pazar' with just 1 leva (EUR 0.50) I bought full bag of spinach! For two days I was eating whether stewed spinach or when I was too lazy to cook -just raw-like some kind of rabbit.
Oh, and those three perfectly ripened and juicy  'paradise apples' (persimmon fruits) all cost less than 70 cents!

The look of Bulgarian made chocolate 'Svoge' reminds me of Lithuanian chocolate 'Karūna'.
  
One thing I really hate in big shops, that if I buy vegetables, fruits or anything that has to be weight, I have to put a sticker with price on торбичка (plastic bag) in which are the goods. Hate it because afterwards the bag is not usable, it's not possible to get sticker of the bag without ruining it. That's why from now I buy this kind of goods only in market or smaller shops.

This Fridays intercultural evening in Shipka 'Chitalishte' was truly magical, due to Bulgarian and Swedish instrumental performances. Also volunteer and Bulgarian prepared presentations and dishes were no less important components in this multicultural mixture. But their instrumental, singing and dancing performances gave me chills. For real!

On first weeks being in Bulgaria I experienced several completely new tastes. In Shipka I tried cornelian cherries, figs, edible chestnuts, Bulgarian 'welcoming bread with salt', lecho and different meals from sweet pepper! Olives (from Greece), small, green, hot peppers with cooked sweet pepper filled with rise and coffee prepared in hot sand in Karlovo. Various nuts, Bulgarian wine and other...
    

First impression of Bulgaria

I arrived in Bulgaria on 15 September. When I left Latvia I was wearing a winters coat and two jumpers beneath it, but as I reached Bulgaria there was no need for them anymore. Like a bird I flew away from autumn to somewhere warmer.
