Burgas

Burgas is not a beatiful seaside resort...the city has been destroyed by war (my guide told me yesterday), so there are a lot of buildings from 60s, 70s, 80s. But the seaside is nice. The best thing about the beach is that it is windy there so the hot becomes much more bearable :)

Burgas Free University, where I'll take my Bulgarian course, is a brand new building with a lot of glass and beautiful interior. Suprisingly, even on Sunday somebody was having classes there :-O

Our hotel room looks like we went back in time, to 1980s. I kind of like the design. We also hear all the cars which pass by under our window. There are many cars in Bulgaria. And the pedestrians don't care about them when they cross the road wherever they like. Nor does the drivers. My guide told me that Bulgaria has the highest rate of accidents between cars and pedestrians in EU. 

We're close to the city centre, so everything is here a bit more expensive than in the Czech Republic.

We went for a lunch today with Carol (from Poland) and Martin (from Germany) (I met them yesterday when they suddenly appeared in my room). Me and Carol ordered "krokety" but Bulgarian "krokety" aren't the same neither as Polish nor as Czech. Bulgarian "krokety" are more or less American potatoes as we call it in the Czech Rep.

We're going for dinner with some other students tonight, so hopefully we will be more successful in ordering something delicious :-)
