Cold!

Christine has left Bulgaria. Overall she enjoyed her time here but I think being in Bulgaria made her appreciate life in America well at least in Chicago. It was very convenient to have Christine here because I had some health problems and she was able to stay with me a couple days while I went through mountains of tests. Anyhow, I am glad to say I did not have to have surgery. Yea!!!

Everything else is going pretty well. I am still living my life in Bulgaria. I don’t know about yaw but its COLD in VT right now!!! Last week it snowed for 7 days straight! I am from Chicago and would actually say Chicago is colder than VT by maybe 10 degrees. The problem is that in Chicago I am not cold when I am inside the house or at work. Here I am cold everywhere. Someone explained to me the difference. In the U.S. everything is overheated so people never get cold inside cars, buildings, or houses. In Bulgaria (and many other places) things are typically under heated meaning that they don’t use energy to stay warm they typically layer their clothes. Uhmm which is better energy or layering? You decide. For me whatever keeps me warm is better but I don’t like to use too much energy.

The B20s only have 9 months left in Bulgaria! Wow the time is still going by really quickly.

Happy winter and stay warm,

Home? Back in the BG

America was great. Being home was great. Being with friends was great. Was it hard to come back to Bulgaria after losing my father and being in the lap of luxury called America? No. Do I miss America, my fam, and 24 hour cafés with wireless internet? Yes. A lot of people have asked me if it was hard coming back after being away for so long and losing my father. It wasn’t hard coming back because I already planned to be in Bulgaria for two years. To go home at this point would be utterly useless when I only have 9 months left. Furthermore, I am having fun here even though sometimes life isn’t as easy as it should be.

Ohh yea Christine, my twin is visiting me. Having her here is proving to be HILARIOUS!!!! More stories and pictures to come about her trip once she leaves and can’t harm me…. Hehehe
