So far Bulgaria has been fantastic. Sofia's quite a walking city (we've been discouraged from using public transit due to pickpockets), and we spent all yesterday jut going around seeing the sights, from cathedrals to open-air antique markets. Good stuff. I think it would have been tough since I was working on so few hours of sleep but fortunately everyone else was in the same boat so we took it kind of easy.
One of the best things about being here is walking around and seeing all the Cyrillic script on the signs. Even though I've been in Turkey for a month, I still sometimes feel like I don't know much Turkish. Being in Sofia, however, has led me to appreciate how much I can say. In Bulgarian, I can say da (yes) and merci (which isn't even Bulgarian but is commonly used for "thank you"). But it's been funny to try to communicate with Bulgarians and say evet (Turkish for yes) before anything else. The language part of my brain is so confused!
Off to breakfast now, getting ready for another big day!
