I imagine there are many, many things that are different here, but I am not necessarily going to notice some of them. On the other hand, there are some that I can't help but notice. For one thing, there are no screens on the windows. I don't know why, they just are not there. And the coffee is much stronger. But the thing I noticed first, most and most often is the driving. Good lord. The locals tell us that the town we are in has the worst drivers in the world, and I think a lot of them are trying to prove it. I don't have any video footage (yet - we'll see if we can get that). However, I think you can a bit about the driving culture just by looking at the parking. Like, for instance, if the parked car is lined up evenly with the SIDEWALK it is parked ON (not next too). And lest you think I exaggerate, I took some photos on the way to work (about a ten minute walk on just one day). Hello Crazy:

| Wow, completely on the sidewalk - nice work. |

| Back wheels on the street - half credit |
so ah, you are both walking and possibly riding bike in this...I will start preparing nice things to say at your wake
ReplyDeletemark-if you grew up in Dubuque like Anne did,you would not notice anything unusual about Bulgarian drivers.
