As it is the second time such things happened, it might worth mentioning it. Today we were again at Kaufland, a big supermarket next to the dormitories, to buy some stuff. I wanted to buy some bacon and asked the shop assistant for 100g. She didn’t understand what I wanted, but she answer suddenly: “Sprechen Sie Deutsch”…..(the first time this happened was at Metro with a taxi driver who lived two years in Germany…). My Bulgarian roommates told me that nowadays German is the most popular second foreign language.
We already mentioned some difference in the price level between Austria and Bulgaria. Here is another one. In Bulgaria using your mobile phone (prepaid card) is slightly more expensive. It costs approximately 18 cent per minute, compared to 4 cent per minute in Austria. Anyway the network seems not to be really reliable. It occurs very often that Christopher and I have to try to call 3 times until it works.
Two pictures of the university....(main building, 8-10 minutes to walk from the dorms)
