I was so surprised. In Holland it's just a normal thing, but in Bulgaria (and also in Turkey I've noticed) they make a big deal about it and have special customs and traditions. Really heartwarming to see.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you want, by the way, I could get you in touch with the National Radio. They have a photo of the day on the sites of their international channels (they have 10), so they could use your photography... Maybe you could even submit some stuff to them that they can use... I don't know what's possible.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I was asked to do weekly audio column of about 5 minutes about life in Bulgaria as a foreigner, but I found myself unable to write 5 minute radio speeches. Since Yambol is not far from Sofia (I think), I could get you in touch with them, get them to see your website and you can see where it goes from there.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you're interested, that is :-)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You can mail me back at bas -at- basbasbas.com... not sure if I'll read further replies to this post here.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890601338760403467/276357970182328123/comments/default/7919338509234745754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890601338760403467/276357970182328123/comments/default/7919338509234745754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.bulgarianslivatree.com/2008/09/bulgarian-schools-first-day-back.html?showComment=1221738650195#c7919338509234745754' title=''/><author><name>Bas - Istanbul Expat</name><uri>http://basbasbas.com/</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.bulgarianslivatree.com/2008/09/bulgarian-schools-first-day-back.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890601338760403467.post-276357970182328123' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890601338760403467/posts/default/276357970182328123' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890601338760403467.post-3244614530053457631</id><published>2008-09-16T01:17:04.619+03:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T01:17:04.619+03:00</updated><title type='text'>How sweet!
