Wow! It’s good to be back in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n
The weather, apart for the rainy Sunday, is just great! Very sunny, rather warm.<\/p>\n
Day 1 – Saturday This day started with me getting up at 2.45 in the morning. Awesome. My dad drove me to the airport in Dortmund, I boarded a plane that looked great from the outside, but it was like the 80’s on the inside (and it’s the inside that counts). Oh, and it was looaaaded with Bulgarians. As soon as we departed we hit the clouds and after a few minutes it was just the plane and the sun. Wow! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I arrived at Sofia airport around noon and met up with Tsvety, my girlfriend. For the first few minutes we couldn’t stop hugging. We tried, but within a few seconds the clutch of our arms returned and we stood there for another few moments. After getting some cash from an ATM we took a taxi into the city and waited in a coffee bar for the lady who would show us our apartment for the next 10 days. The first Bulgarian coffee was a bit strong (especially compared to the water-with-coffee-taste I drank at the German airport), but I’m getting used to it again. We got a call from the lady. Were shown our apartment and stayed in the whole day, because I was dead tired.<\/p>\n A friend of mine would be DJ’ing at a party in the center that evening and somewhere deep down, I knew I couldn’t miss that party. He didn’t know I was in Bulgaria and it would be a great surprise for him if I suddenly showed up. Especially considering the fact that he simply ‘knew’ that there’s three thousand kilometers between us.<\/p>\n Soooo, we dragged ourselves out of the apartment, without having slept and went into the center. As I entered the club I immediately saw my friend, with his back turned to me. I walked over to him and then looped around him so that I was standing in front of him. I looked at him with my “hello!” face, but without saying anything… He gave me a blank stare for a second (my hair is longer and I have a beard thing going on now) and then out of this blank stare came an intense expression of enthusiasm! “Bas!” He grabbed my hand to shake it and hugged me. Simultaneously. He was very<\/em> glad to see me. The extra sleep deprivation was definitely worth it. I saw his set (good job, mate!) and stayed around for another an hour or so, but then around 3 o’ clock I decided that it was really time to go home and catch some sleep.<\/p>\n Great day. It was rainy. We stayed in. Watched a film together. Good times. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n Day 3 – Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n Then today we went outside and I saw Sofia again as I saw it in the summer, but a bit colder. Very sunny day, nice and warm. We sat in the park for a while, took pictures, walked around some more and had lunch. Sat around some more in the sun. Just enjoying each other’s presence. Then Tsvety headed home to see her parents for a while and I gave a call to a couple of friends, Miro and Vassy, and made appointments to have dinner with them very soon. As I was walking home I got into the same mood I had when I first came to Bulgaria: don’t sit inside the apartment. Soooo, I grabbed my laptop and a book, went to a coffee bar around the corner, wrote a blog post, and pressed “Publish”<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow!
