Hola from Sofia, Bulgaria

as you can imagine, there are some interesting cultural transitions when traveling from buenos aires to london to sofia, bulgaria...

i managed to survive two days of tube-riding in london and didn't see any evidence of diminished energy or looking-over-the-shoulder behavior you might expect... i don't mean to say that folks aren't paying attention but they are also getting on with their lives in one of the greatest cities in the world...

in the "it's-an-incredibly-small-world" department, i had dinner last night in london with several of the folks that i had worked with from macedonia who just so happened to be in town at the same time...

i just got back from walking around the center of sofia, bulgaria, my first time here... impression...? very favorable... my other balkan city experiences in skopje, macedonia and belgrade, serbia didn't prepare me for the level of energy, the bustling shopping district and the overall cleanliness i've seen in just a few hours in sofia - and it's a national holiday...!! on a national holiday in skopje, they roll up the sidewalks...
