a day in the life...
Today we had a japanese tourist come into the museum...and my counter part said "that's the first japanese person who's ever come in here!" and i said "really? we should have asked him to make us sushi!"
I bought some bisquits today that i cant stop eating. they're greek. i think they put some greek heroin or something in them. at least that's what im telling myself. im gonna have to be rolled out the museum by the end of the day.
so i had the big human trafficking seminar on friday. about 145 people came to watch the movie "Svetlana's Journey" a really graphic story of a 13 year old girl sold into sex slavery. Very sad, and unfortunately very realistic. it's a big problem here. Well, the director of Face to Face bulgaria came to talk to the kids, but unfortunately my stupid mayor who is obsessed with the media and PR invited a politician named Boiko to the seminar who totally hijacked the whole thing and brought in his own movies, and pictures of himself, and fucking gun tucked into his belt. he talked and talked forever, So after the mayor reminded him that the face to face people still had to show their movie, he was like "oh, okay" and went down and sat down for a second until he was bombarded by children asking for his autograph...the bulgos went googoo over the dude and forgot about the reason they were there. he finally went outside and the few people who stayed to watch the movie and not fawn all over the bald fat bulgo with a gun, were able to watch the movie in peace. however, it seems bulgo children have no idea of civic duty or pride and the only things that are important to them are their gsm's, fake dolce and gabanna clothing, pouting (for the girl child bulgos), and computer games (for the boy child bulgos).
This was made apparent to me when the director of mtel (one of two bulgarian cell phone service providers) recieved a huge applause from the kids. and the executive director of face to face...nada.
and i know no matter what i try to do to get these kids involved in an issue...they just dont care. they are absolutely the most apathetic bunch of kids ive ever come across. quite sad actually.
So my cell phone is totally fucked. my display doesnt work. and i went to like 5 different place in sandanski only to be told i have to go to the godamn capital to get it fixed...but at least im heading there on friday to do some work in the peace corps office, and play flag football on sat...all the profits go to the orphanage.

Are they more apathetic than American kids? If so, I didn't think such a thing could ever be possible!
well, you know at least there is pressure on kids to do stuff in high school in america...there's all kinds of clubs...and volunteer organizations...and here...nothin...
"bald fat bulgo with a gun" haha love you for that comment:)
on the other hand i really believe that not all of the kids in my country are those you described. it's very true and sad though.
some news about "svetlana's journey" - the movie won the best short subject award at hollywood film festival.
hope you're fine in bg:)

I just talked to the guy who made the movie "Svetlana's Journey". Should be a good movie, but he said that for political reasons he hided fact that the girl's adopting parents were not bulgarian.
