Back to normality…
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008…or at least to some extent
I’m back from holidays for two weeks now and it’s been a really stressful time. But at least the 3 weeks holidays rocked badly! Next to some 5-6 days in Sofia, I went to Tunisia with my mother and my aunt for a week and together with the bulgarian lot, we went to the seaside for another 5-6 days. And it was all just brilliant!
Tunisia was surprisingly cool - you could not tell that the ressort where we went was in Africa. Actually, it was more decent than most resorts in Bulgaria
As most people there speak French, I had the great opportunity to practice my French - un verre de vin rouge, s’il vous plait… troi bierre…. pour moi d’eaux gazeuse
Oui-oui - c’etais tout tres bien. However, I’ve no clue of the spelling, so please bare with me
We made a two days trip to the desert and I was more than amazed - I’ve never imagined it to be so beautiful and exciting (although it’s mostly just sand and rocks).
Camels also turned out to be cooler than expected.
One of my personal highlights was visiting the Star Wars set.
It turned out that they have some quite odd laws over there - like drinking and driving is okay, as long as you don’t hit anybody. Because then you’ll have to go to prison for some 15 to 20 years. But if you’re dry - it’s just 20 days, to give the family time to grieve.
Or if you steal something you go to jail for 6 months and if you buy snitched stuff - 2 years… Yay for the guy who bought a washing machine for his upcoming wedding and then spent 2 wonderful years in prison -.-
Prostitutes are civil servants, work from 8 AM to 6 PM and get their pay check, despite the number of customers they had. And of course when they retire, the government keeps paying
But despite the weird legislation, it’s a great country! So if you’re uncertain about your next holiday destination, I would strongly advise you to go there.
The next destination this summer was Sozopol. It was (as expected) again a great experience, full of precious moments
If you check out the links to the extensive photo-documentary below, you will probably get quite a good picture of everything. Just a short note - when I presented my notion to buy a water resistant camera, all were “pfff, that’s stupid, don’t waste you’re money, you should better get a good camera for 10 times the price” and so on and so forth. Incidentally, after I got the camera, everybody was like “please take lots of pictures of me under water, pleeeaaaseee” -.-
