The most striking thing so far is that nobody smokes inside. Not in restaurants. Not in coffee shops. Not completely sure about bars but so far it is incredibly nice to be in a smoke free environment. We see quite a few people smoking outside but not inside.
We went to a movie this afternoon. Saw "Youth" It was in English with Bulgarian subtitles. We are told that is the standard - nice for us.
We have had no trouble finding people who speak enough English to communicate the basics. We are told that it will be more difficult when we in more rural areas. The people are super friendly and this town is simply beautiful with lots of sights to see and places to investigate.
And - most striking of all is the abundant availability of salads. In Hungary we were dying for some lettuce and good healthy salad and here there is an extensive salad section of all menus and the grocery has iceberg, butter, and romaine lettuce - all fresh and crispy.
Life is good.
