Bulgaria So Far.

Wow. This place can be so unreal some times. To start off with, we have peacocks in the backyard. Yeah, how sweet is that? It was windy and cold the first few days, so with that giant tail acting as a sail they were constantly getting tossed around the cage. They would have been fine if they put down the tail (then they could fit in the sweet peacock coup) but the females were around so they didn't. It was hilarious.
Despite trying very hard not to make assumtions about Bulgraia I made a few without realizing it. The first of many was about the high school. Now I know it wasn't going to be Manhiem Township's Taj Mahal of learning or Linden Hall's beautiful grounds so there wasn't much of a suprise there. It was pretty much what I expected of a soviet era school, complete with creepy murals everywhere. They will haunt my dreams, no joke. It was the lack of safety that completely blew me away. We were held in a classroom for the first periods before the english classes started and to meet some teachers. Well, once word got out where we were at the kids wanted to see us. After the first dozen pop-ins the door was locked. So that left the windows. On the third floor. So the closest windows they opened and looked around the corner. The further windows they were hanging completely out the windows with (I am assuming again) someone holding their feet. WTF!?!?!
The next time graduation, grad parties, and prom.
