  • Let It Snow!

    Even though it’s 3º Celsius (37ºF) in Istanbul right now, it is yet to snow. Bulgaria however, has had a lot of snow already. When I was there on holiday/anniversary celebration a few weeks ago, the lovely mountain town of Borovets which we were staying in went from green to white overnight. How did it look 24 hours before? Like below.

    A Dutch expat in Istanbul, Hans, told me that I definitely do not want to see snow in Istanbul. I can imagine the traffic here transforming into a chaos of epic proportions. People are crazy drivers here.

    How’s it over there? Snowy yet? Plan on travelling in the holiday season?

  • Snow in Bulgaria

    This weekend I was in Bulgaria due to my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend, who’s from Bulgaria. We went to a mountain resort, which is cheaper than Sofia (in the low season). On the day we arrived everything was green, but this Saturday the world turned white. I love it. I notice I feel quite at home in Bulgaria, and especially Sofia.

    Will write more about my stay there in the days to come. Have to find my way back to Istanbul in this snowy mess. You can stay up to date by following my Twitter feed, or subscribe to this blog by RSS or email.

    I’m hoping for some nice snow in Istanbul this winter. Has it snowed where you are yet? Will it at all?
