I am perhaps the only female I have ever encountered who does not care much for chocolate. Sure I will eat the occasional bowl of rocky road ice cream or have a chocolate milk shake thrice annually, but that's the extent of my indulgence. Even as a child, I could never understand Charlie Bucket's brazen foolishness to spend his last dollar on a candy bar just to visit Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Surely a new pair of
Saturday 24. On a plane again though for pleasure this time, not business. I used to hate flying. I had to mentally prepare for it weeks in advance and my husband still bears the scars of where my fingers gripped him too tightly on the take-off. We are returning from skiing (and some touring) in the Austrian Alps. We questioned the snow coverage during this global warming crisis, but there was definitely
From just about any point in the city centre of Sofia, you can spot the looming television tower on the northwest side of Mount Vitosha. And yet, few know that just beyond this landmark, there lies a five-star hotel/restaurant complex situated on the ridge of this horseshoe-shaped section of the mountain. Literally named "the hoof" in Bulgarian, Kopitoto Hotel sits opposite the horseshoe from the tower, on the
Saturday. Two weeks ago we visited a Bulgarian village. A friend insisted that I have the "experience" and so we went and "experienced" an hour or so of novelty and then two days of boredom. We blamed it on the lack of entertainment there. But now I am rethinking. Here I am, on a glorious sunny day in Sofia, with absolutely nothing to do. We've walked the town and done our
Saturday November 18 Back in San Diego for three days now, I have finally adjusted to the time change and am no longer walking around in a confused haze. The weather here is just as I anticipated, a balmy 32 deg C. I spend my day on the sidelines cheering my nephew and niece on in their final football (soccer over here) games of the season. Luckily I made it home in time to catch at least the last games. Being huge
While the sport of cricket could hardly be considered popular across Bulgaria, Pakistani-born Saif ur Rehman is determined to make it known. Twelve years ago, Rehman moved here for business and quickly noticed there was no cricket team here in Bulgaria. He decided to change that. On a cold winter's day in 2000, he invited his Bulgarian friends out to learn and play the game, despite the freezing
Even though Mark Drake is obviously young, with a boyish look on his face, he has already founded his own company, Edynamo, together with a Bulgarian partner. That was back in 2003 in San Diego, where he comes from. Now the business is expanding and Mark moved to Bulgaria in summer 2006. So how do you end up in Sofia at the head of a company that provides professional web design and site maintenance,
Being new here, I first noticed Pizzeria Ugo on one of my many disoriented walks through the city. I often spot an inviting restaurant on a morning walk, and then cannot locate it again once the evening (and my hunger) arrives. Not so with Pizzeria Ugo, with its bright, easily identifiable red signs, lively atmosphere and busy location nestled on the corner of Vitosha Boulevard and William Gladstone Street. With
Sharif Ismail has spent his lifetime travelling, first as the son of a diplomat, and now as a diplomat himself. As a child, he moved every four years, each time his father received a new assignment. "I never made any lifelong friends," he explains. "I had a new set every four years." Even with such transiency, Ismail chose to follow in his father's footsteps and also entered the Egyptian ministry of foreign affairs,
On any given day, Anthony Lindsey performs a complex balancing act. He must acclimate to his new life here in Bulgaria while keeping up with an ever-expanding company, A Plus.Net. As the billing manager/financial controller of the company, Lindsey moved here just two months ago to better accommodate the growing needs of the company for which he has worked since March 2002. A Plus.Net began
