(Cultural) Differences

You might ask if we already have experienced some (cultural) differences. Well yes, we have. I really like the traffic lights in Bulgaria because they have a countdown attached. Thus you know how long you have to wait. As I told you students are not used to cook at the dormitory, they are going out for lunch and dinner.

In the dormitory you do not have to wash our clothes on your own, someone does it for you. It is the same procedure if you want to copy something at the library.

People do not eat their meals hot as we do in Austria, they eat it just lukewarm or even colder which I’m not happy with.

At the entrance of the University there are hub like the ones at metro station, which you have to open with our ID-Card , as well as metal detector. But no one of the securities cares about the signal which is triggered by nearly every student.

Traffic lights with countdown


After the ladies washed your clothes, you get it back in such packages, but washing is as expensive as at the dorm in Salzburg, € 1,5....

So, one portion of washed clothes is equivalent to 1,5 beers?

The question is: what is more important...

Oh, yes right. That's a new perspective for me....I didn't realized that before
