The Greek crisis

In short, I feel generally better about life, knowing that Greece exists.

Berlin, I love you to bins.

It is true. I love Berlin and its bins too. Somehow, I find them representative of the city, being dirty, witty, rude, … cool, creative, diverse and yes, definitely living up to the quote by the infamous Berlin ex-mayor “poor but sexy”.

Thank you Berlin for a lot a lot a lot a lot of things, which I cannot put on a picture. But the bins I could, so I did.

PS: it goes without saying that pics of Berlin’s orange bins are always much appreciated on my email: antangelova@abv.bg. Will make sure they do not land in the spam. 🙂

in Sofia

I love Sofia with all its spontaneity, illogical winter sun and everyday surrealism. Today somewhere at the end of December Santa Claus brought back spingtime for a while.
