Once you have been w while in Bulgaria you will be picking up Bulgarian habits, already some have been taken on board even without thinking about it. A few for starters...
- Wearing different clothes for different situations is a must!! One for the village one town and work and another for going out in the evening, all essentially Bulgaria and in the winter a different set of clothing for bed!
- Leaving food on your plate when you've had enough rather than having to finish it up like a good boy!
- Walking fast just never happens now - its taken a while to get to this stage though.
- Looking at my watch, well I don't wear one now what's the point on knowing what time it is in Bulgaria?
- Ending a conversation - very difficult!
- Getting a job finished, there's always tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or in some cases waiting for your reincarnation!
- Getting your Bulgarian friends to spend some time away from their GSMs, (mobile phones) impossible.
- Washing up or cleaning the home - THIS DEFINITELY IS NOT ALLOWED!
- Adjusting and enjoying a rakia and salad every single evening, all year round - Actually I don't know how I managed to do cope without this before living here.
- Not looking before crossing a road, (jaywalking) Tufty and Green Cross Code Man have never set foot in Bulgaria!
Not necessarily the top ten but many more where they come from...........
