Bulgaria: Greeting from Blagovegrad

At first, theres a hell of a lot mosquitos here in Bulgaria. Both me and Espen have got at least 40 bites. I hate mosquitos!!!

Another difficulty with travelling here in Bulgaria is that when a Bulgarian confirmes something, instead of nodding (?) his head like we Norwegians would do, he will shake it to confirm, and the opposite if saying no. So when I asked the bus driver yesterday if the bus went to Dupnitsa we almost missed it, since he shaked his head. Luckily he said “da, da” as well.

Now we are in a town called Blagovegrad. Not much to see here, but by far the most western stylish city so far. A lot of cafes, walking streets, and quite nice as well. But why the University is called the American University beats us, because not many speaks english…but we manage!
