In the dorms I have to share my room with two other guys, Теодор (Teodor) and Преслав (Preslav). I knew Teodor before I came to Bulgaria, because he did his exchange semester in Salzburg last summer. Both are really nice guys and we have a lot of fun, especially when we are introducing ourselves to eating and drinking habits of our countries. Today we had some “Russen” (wheat beer with sprite). Nevertheless I would prefer to have an single room for my own, more private sphere and a quite place to study….
The city Blagoevgrad has about 75,000 inhabitants and two universities. Thus it is a bit strange that they do not have american fast food restaurant. Even my hometown with approximetaly 18,000 inhabitant has a McDonald’s. That does not mean I want to go to one, I prefer дюнер питка (Dönner pitka). This is like a Kebap in Austria but they also put French fries in it, very delicious and cheap (€ 1.20). But I really miss an Ikea store . In the whole country they do not have an Ikea right now. My room mates informed me that they will start to build one in Sofa soon.
I read that swine flue is an big issue at Isabella’s university in South Korea. At AUBG it is also an issue as the number of infected students is growing. Up to now there are 7 confirmed cases but a few are not clarified yet.
In order to be informed about things going on at home I tried to watch Austrian newscast (ZIB on Demand) or listen to Austiran radio stations via web stream (Ö1 and fm4, the latter offers some broadcasts in English).
Finally again some picture…
Finally my parcel arraived after 3 weeks with some stuff, which I was not able to take with me by plane. (limit of 20kg...)

The run-down house opposite of the university is still in the same conditions as it was two years ago...
